RPG Growth

This mod adds the ability to raise stats and make your character stronger. Defeating monsters grants experience and raises your level. Allocate stat points, unlock techs and weapons, and choose a Profession, Affinity, and Specialization as you level up.

The Mysterious Book acts as the UI for raising stats, among other things.
Craft it from your personal crafting menu, OR to access it without needing an item, download QuickBar Mini: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1088459034

As stated in the Patreon and Discord section above, working on this mod takes a lot of time, and as I am currently working on a game, updates will be sparse. Getting financial support will definitely help with continuing mod development.

• Yes, this mod should work with Frackin Universe.
• If there are any problems, just tell me. I will fix them as soon as possible.

• XP can be spawned using "/spawnitem experienceorb (amount)".
  • Replace "(amount)" with a number of your choosing!
• Stats can be spawned via ‘stat’point, where ‘stat’ is replaced with the stat name.
  • eg. Use "/spawnitem dexteritypoint (amount)" to spawn Dexterity.
• The Mysterious Book can be spawned by typing "/spawnitem RPGskillbook".
• Freezing Currency with a Cheat Engine can prevent the Mysterious Book from opening due to a currency used to ensure the book is only ever opened once.
