Mod advice or assistance?

[Snowydeath]

I want to go into the game files and edit the progression.xml so that every 5 levels I gain a second skill point. How would one go about doing this? I'm unfamiliar with xml editing and only really have experience in python, java, c++ and r. Any advice or knowledge is greatly appreciated.

I use this mod: https://7daystodiemods.com/more-skill-points-per-level/

Works fine.

You can't do exactly what you're asking, at least not with XML.

There is an attribute called "skill_points_per_level" on the "level" tag, but you can only set it to integers. So you could gain, say, 2 skill points per level, but not 1.2 skill points per level (which is what you'd need to do to gain one skill point every five levels).

It might be possible using Harmony patches on the C# code, but that's advanced modding, and I'm not even sure it would work.
