In the quest for better stations, we present Automatic XP!

Have you ever found yourself wanting to do a station, but missing the full experience of Barotrauma?

You don't get to level up your job and get cool talents, and you stay the same until the station inevitably falls into ruin. You don't get to unlock the cool lategame guns and gear, and instead get stuck with whatever spawns on the station.

The worst part of station games is that nothing carries over, so you are stuck in place with no growth.

That's done. Over. Kaput.

Now with a single admin command powered by Lua, you can set a passive XP rate in the console. Traitor rounds, station RP, and more just got a lot more interesting!

As an admin, all you need to do is use a single command and the script will take it from there.

Simply type into console "xprate [xp award] [time for XP in seconds]" and you are set. For example, "xprate 500 60" will give 500 xp every 60 seconds without you lifting a finger!

This mod requires serverside Lua, found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559634234

You do not need clientside Lua installed, but if you are using Lua mods you probably have it anyways.

All credit for the code goes to Evil Factory, the maker of Lua for Barotrauma and a god of code. All praise the gods of code.

This mod concept was part of several ideas related to improving stations as a viable format for gameplay, and hopefully the first in a line of mods to improve them further.
