What's New in v1.2.0
Enhanced Growth Curve Control: Precise skill progression adjustment Critical Bug Fixes: Resolved save-time errors and MOD skill compatibility issues
Quick Start
- Install the mod
- Start the game once to generate default YAML
- Edit
BepInEx/config/SkillLimitExtender/SLE_Skill_List.yaml - Use
sle_yaml_reloadcommand to apply changes
YAML Configuration
Basic Format
SkillName:
cap: 300 # Maximum skill level (default: 250)
bonusCap: 150 # Bonus multiplier cap (100 = 1.0x, 150 = 1.5x)
relative: true # Use level/cap for calculations (true/false)
useCustomGrowthCurve: false # Enable custom growth curve (default: false)
growthExponent: 1.5 # Growth curve exponent (default: 1.5)
growthMultiplier: 0.5 # Growth curve multiplier (default: 0.5)
growthConstant: 0.5 # Growth curve constant (default: 0.5)
MODS Skill Examples
Cartography:
cap: 250
bonusCap: 100
relative: true
Growth Curve Modes
Linear Growth (relative: true)
- Uses
level / capfor effectiveness - Consistent progression throughout skill range
- Level 200 with cap 400 = 50% effectiveness
Vanilla Growth (relative: false)
- Uses traditional
level / 100calculation - Extends level range while maintaining vanilla curve
- Level 200 = 200% effectiveness (capped by bonusCap)
Custom Growth Curve (useCustomGrowthCurve: true)
- Advanced mathematical curve control
- Formula:
(level^growthExponent * growthMultiplier) + growthConstant - Fine-tune progression speed at different skill ranges
Growth Curve Parameters
growthExponent: 1.5 - Exponent (Power) - Determines growth curve shape
- 1.5 = Same as vanilla - Exponential growth
- Higher values = More dramatic experience requirement increase at high levels
- Examples:
- 1.0 = Linear growth (constant pace)
- 1.5 = Exponential growth (vanilla)
- 2.0 = Quadratic growth (steeper)
growthMultiplier: 0.5 - Multiplier - Adjusts overall experience requirement
- 0.5 = Same as vanilla
- Lower values = Faster growth (less experience needed)
- Examples:
- 0.25 = Half vanilla experience required
- 0.5 = Same as vanilla
- 1.0 = Double vanilla experience required
growthConstant: 0.5 - Constant - Base value adjustment for level calculation
- 0.5 = Same as vanilla
- Affects growth speed in low-level ranges
- Usually keep vanilla value (0.5) unchanged
Server Administration
For Server Owners:
- Set
LockConfiguration = truein config - All players automatically use server settings
- Players cannot override with local YAML when locked
For Players:
- Use Configuration Manager (F1) for quick adjustments
- Edit YAML file for detailed customization
- Server settings override local config when locked

Skills.Saveto avoid a NullReferenceException on game exit. - Change: Harden UI denominator replacement in
SkillsDialog.Setup. Limit100f→capreplacement to the vicinity ofGuiBar.SetValue, and fall back to the global UI denominator when local inference fails. - Add: Introduce

SkillConfigManager.GetCap, resolving CS8602 warnings. - Change: Override
Skills.GetSkillFactorvia Prefix; unify factor calculation based on cap/relative/bonusCap with safe clamping. - Docs: Improve logs (replacement counts, cleanup counts) and document verification steps.
