Can confirm it works with the "Learn By Doing" Mod!

Cool

excellent!

they should gain with contracts also

yeah, it's so wild that they only gain xp from training as if making the games isn't a learning experience in-and-of-itself

This should integrated to game
pls green heart devs...

It's good but it seems a lot harder to make a hit game while using this mod. Maybe that's just me though

still works in 2021 :)

Really like the mod, but you should clean the display and get rid of ,,,,,,,,, or ======

You ever go to the Workshop and find exactly what you came for without searching

cool mod

@The_Real_Normie - Just the mod API. Cheers mate, just glad you get enjoyment from it :)

@Steiner-- Last question. Do I need this UltimateLib or just mod api.

Thank you so much. It wasn't even your mods problem and yet you still helped me. I'm extremely grateful. Another example why I love the modding community.

@The_Real_Normie - It should be fine to use in an existing save. It will probably show a warning but will be fine. Glad it's working for you.

Okay i was able get up and running with this http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/view/529321951 . t

Do I need a new save or can I use it in a current play through?

"Do other mods work for you? " (Don't know how to quote on steam)

No... Feels bad. Also when I go the WS folder there is nothing in there maybe that's problem? Where could the file be?

@The_Real_Normie - Sorry that you are still experiencing issues. Do other mods work for you? Also make sure you also load the GDT API (It should be at the top of the mods list) as well. If this doesn't work you can manually install mods by moving the file "112291581_Staff Gain Experience From Making Games" folder in "Steam/Steamapps/common/Game Dev Tycoon/mods_ws" to "Game Dev Tycoon/mods" and enabling it in the same way. Let me know if this helps

I tried that, and verified the game files. Even reinstalled it, and the game. Is there a way to manually install it?

@The_Real_Normie - Have just tested and it loads fine for me. The problem may have been because you tried to load the mod during steam server maintenance (Usually around evening GMT every Tuesday). Also ensure that you restart inbetween, i.e: Deselect the mod, close the game, launch and reselect, restart game, and it should work. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any issues.

The mod can’t synchronize to workshop!. It stays at 50%.

Just a little warning. This mod makes the game insanely easy. It's not a bad thing. But I personally turned it off.

Alternate name for mod: "Should be in the basegame the plugin."
You do great work friend.

@Steiner
You're not wrong, but remember I'm asking for a MOD for this.
If you wouldn't want it, then you needn't install it xD

@xenxander - I get what you mean, although I feel personally that the perhaps this is a case of suspending realism for the sake of a fun experience, i.e, it makes the game balanced, as salary is the only passive cost of any significance, and salaries are simply used and scaled to match growth in income. That way the game stays challenging.

Actually I would like a mod that does this:
All costs are divided by 10.

Think about this. Your initial cost per month is something like 4000/ month, living out of your garage, back in 1984 or something.
That's insane honestly.
The cost of employee salaries routinely gets up in the 10's of thousands per month.. PER MONTH.
I could see a programmer earning up to a 100k / year salary, but that's not even 12k / month and that's even a HUGE salary for employees.

I just think monthly costs should be reduced by 1 on a logarithmic scale (That's 10 for you non-mathies)

I know this isn't related to your current mod, but still it's something I'd really love as another stand-alone mod, if you need inspiration for a new mod.

@Steiner - Okay, I'll get back to ya on it.

Thanks for the mod. It is much reasonable to increase staffs stats after working on something.

@DrunkenHEYS - Are you certain this issue is caused by the mod? My game still works fine so it's possible that you could just be experiencing a bug in the base game. If you haven't already, please disable the mod and see if researching 3dv3 is possible without it (I assume you are aware, but in case you're new, you need to get 3dv2 to lvl 3 experience before you can research the next one) Good luck and get back to me if you still have issues and I'll take another look.

This mod breaks the game. I cant use any graphics options past 3dv2.

Tbh both realistically and when referring to fun, this probably actually makes more sense than the normal way of doing things

I'd like both features, actually. I wonder if both could be implimented.

@xenxander - I considered doing it this way when I originally came up with the idea. In the end I prefered just giving them stats when they make games which basically balances out and matches the salary increase from levelling.

Can this mod also be improved in this way:
When staff level up, their skills also level up by a percentage. I always HATED that when staff level up, they gain no skills but demand more money.

@Nuggz - Yeah they both work in different ways so they do stack if you have both

Man, this mod combined with the Learn As You Do mod is... pretty damn OP. Most of my employees are like 800+ in either tech or design and a 3 (including myself) are at like 900 in both

@⚡ - Glad it's working for you, maybe it's just a random glitch or something (I hadn't applied any changes)

I resubbed your mod and reactivated it, and played a whole game with it on (and working). I don't know if that's because you fixed it or because something was glitching it before, either way thanks for checking it out. 👍

@⚡ - Are you running on the latest version of the game? Also, is the save you are testing with this entirely on the mod, or have you loaded the mod late?

I don't know about Marble, but I've played this game enough to know how to research that tech. I know that with your mod enabled, and only that mod, it doesn't work. I don't know why it's working for you and not for us.

@Marble - Are you sure you have got level 3 experience with 3D graphics v1 (As in, you've made several games with it; this is required to unlock it)? I can definately upgrade 3Dv2 on my games

It still bugged, can confirm the 3D issue. Can't research 3D v2. Don't know why it couses it, but that is how it looks ;/

@Steiner - Well, thanks for checking it out. I played with the mod on last night for a while trying to figure out why I couldn't advance much in the game, before realizing I couldn't even upgrade that research. I turned off this mod (and only this mod) and it fixed the problem. I only have a couple of other small mods also running like percentager, nothing big.

@⚡ - I am pretty confident that's not true. There is nothing at all that this mod changes which would impact 3d graphics. I will double check this, but I suspect something else is at fault.

This mod disables 3d graphics research upgrades.

@Deahtroll(데스롤) - Also should activate the mod API in the mods list. If this doesn't work perhaps verify integrity of game cahce (right click game in library -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files.). If not, report back and I'll have a closer look.

@Deahtroll(데스롤) - Subscribe, it should download when the game is closed (only a tiny file). Then go to the mod menu and you should see the name (it might be called "StaffXP" instead of "Staff gain experience...". In previous versions you also had to enable some kind of generic package as well, I will check whether this is the case as soon as I can

idk how to use this mod do i have to activate this in the game MOD menu?

@oo7dark - Many thanks, happy to help, glad it's working for you now. Enjoy!

@steiner you're right, I test in a second game without reinstall the mod and no problem this time. i don't understand what happen to my first try!
BTW great job

@oo7dark - Thanks for the feedback, there is nothing that this code changes which would impact 3D Graphics v2 or any tech so the issue probably lies in the update from GHG, or possibly just your own mistake. As for the increases, I have been tweaking them for a very long time now and feel they are about correct for most people. I still have the intention to update the mod with a menu, allowing you to chose your own increase rates e.t.c, but as I am at University now and haven't touched this project in a while I am still behind schedule there. Nonetheless, thanks for telling me, and if anyone else experiences such issues due to this mod, I'll take a look.
