Improve

Description

Improve adds a haul-based leveling system to R. E. P. O. Earn stat points from the haul you accumulate across all of your sessions, then spend them on any of the 13 character stats to permanently power up your character — even in the middle of an active save.

Unlike leveling mods that only count haul when you die, Improve captures your haul after every level, so a bad run never wipes your progress — and you can level up during a save, not just after it ends. Open the Improve menu (available from the main menu, the escape menu, and the lobby) to track your progress and spend points across a clean two-panel interface.

Your bonus is also completely save-safe: it's applied at runtime but stripped out the moment the game saves, so it never gets baked into your save file and can't stack on itself across save / quit / relaunch.

Installation Instructions

Manual install

• []Install BepInEx 5.x for R. E. P. O. if you don't already have it.[/]

  []Install MenuLib (required — it powers the Improve menu).[/]

  []Download the latest Improve file from the Files tab.[/]

  []Extract the archive into your R. E. P. O. game folder (the one containing REPO.exe) so that Improve.dll ends up in BepInEx/plugins/.[/]

  []Launch the game once — a config file is generated at BepInEx/config/headclef. Improve.cfg, and your progress is saved separately under REPOModData/Improve/.[/]

  Mod manager

  Installing through Vortex or a R. E. P. O. mod manager works too — it will pull in BepInEx and MenuLib for you. Just enable Improve.
