Bridges In Dappled Groves woodworking activities with the xSkills/xLeveling Forestry skill tree.

What it does

When you complete a wood recipe - whether at a chopping block, sawing station, or using ground tools - this mod awards Forestry XP through xSkills, so your skill tree progresses naturally alongside your woodworking.

Supported activities

Activity XP
Chopping 0.40
Hewing 0.30
Sawing 0.25
Planing 0.20
Pounding 0.15

Requirements

How it works

Uses Harmony patches to hook into IDG's RecipeHandler.processRecipe() for workstation recipes and OnHeldInteractStep() for ground tool behaviors, detecting recipe completion and awarding XP via the IXLevelingAPI.

Installation

Drop idgxskillscompat.zip into your Mods folder and restart. Works on both client and dedicated server.

Known issues

  • Ground tool XP not working yet. Using tools directly on logs placed on the ground does not award XP. Workstation recipes (chopping block, sawing station, etc.) work correctly. This is being investigated.

## 1.1.0 (2026-05-31)

### Fixed
- **Workstation tool mode XP scaling.** Chopping, sawing, hewing, planing, and pounding now award correct XP values (0.40, 0.25, 0.30, 0.20, 0.15 respectively) instead of always 0.40.
- Added prefix hook on `RecipeHandler.processRecipe` to capture `recipe.ToolMode` before it gets cleared by `CompleteRecipe()`.

### Known Issues
- **Ground tool XP not working.** Using tools directly on logs placed on the ground does not award XP. Investigating.

Heya! Is it possible to adjust some of the XP values? I tried to search for a config file but either I was to blind find one or there really was none.
