(SERVER) Expedition XP - Pals Level While Away

Expedition XP Pals sent on expeditions come home with more than loot — they come home with LEVELS. Expeditions become a real progression path: a nursery for your under-leveled pals and a steady lane for everyone else. Server-side mod. It installs on whoever runs the world — a dedicated server, or your own game in single-player. Other players need nothing, and installing it only on a client does nothing at all. How the reward works Anchored to the expedition — each expedition pays XP rated to its tier's unlock level. Higher expeditions, bigger rewards. The nursery curve — pals UNDER the expedition's level get a catch-up bonus (up to 1. 8x). A low-level pal on a high expedition leaps; send the babies out and they come back grown. No free rides at the top — pals far OVER the expedition's level earn ~nothing. Maxed teams must graduate to bigger expeditions. Every run counts — a floor guarantees each completion is worth a real chunk of the pal's next level, even at high levels. Mass expeditions welcome — the whole assigned crew earns, whether that's five pals or a hundred. Single-player or multiplayer? Single-player / co-op host: just subscribe — done. Dedicated server: this mod is SERVER-SIDE. Install the Scripts folder as a UE4SS Lua mod on the server; players need nothing. Subscribing on a client does NOT affect a dedicated server's world (the mod stays passive on pure clients by design). The fine print XP lands the moment an expedition completes — including runs that finish while the server is offline (paid on next boot). A ledger guarantees no run ever pays twice. Pals level up right in the box — no need to deploy them. Levels and XP use the game's own experience curve. Tuning lives at the top of Scripts/main.lua: XP rate, catch-up bonus, over-level falloff, and the tier-to-level anchor table (defaults track the tower progression). Works alongside expedition speed/requirement mods. Requirements UE4SS — auto-installed when you subscribe. If something breaks Crashes ar
