Warning The mod only works for the latest version of the game from Steam. There are also known bugs, such as abnormally greatly accelerated ore mining and abnormally greatly accelerated research.
Installation Replace the kenshi_x64.exe file in the game's root folder. It's recommended to make a backup of this file beforehand in case you want to disable the mod later.
How It Works The mod has several difficulty levels, which are marked with a "modifier". The "modifier" is a central element of this mod (patch), designed to control how quickly or slowly you advance in skill levels up to 200.
In Kenshi, it's ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to reach level 101. The closer your level gets to 100 in Kenshi, the slower it increases. To allow the player to reach level 200, this mod uses a modifier.
Around level 85 (based on my personal experience), leveling up characters becomes painfully slow. The modifier is a level after reaching that is level up speed starts decrease much more slowly. If the modifier is set, for example, at 70, your leveling speed after level 70 will decrease much more slowly, allowing you to eventually reach level 200.
The higher your level, the more challenging it will become to advance, up to level 200.
Impact on Gameplay Your choice of difficulty modifier directly influences the game's pace. A lower modifier will make it easier and quicker to reach the new maximum level, providing a more casual experience. A higher modifier will do the opposite, making the journey to level 200 a challenging endeavor that will require substantial time and effort.

How to Change Parameters Yourself: If you wish to modify the maximum level or the "modifier" on your own, this guide is for you. There are two methods to achieve this: Easy and Advanced. For the Easy method, all you'll need is a basic Hex editor and a bit of thinking. For the Advanced method, you'll require basic knowledge in C++, Reverse Engineering, and also a Hex editor. To modify the code logic, basic understanding of Windows x64 assembly might be necessary (NASM x86_64). If you're confident in taking this on, let's get started.
1. Easy Method:
You must use the original (standard) kenshi_x64.exe or it won't work
Preparation:
Download and install a Hex editor (e.g., Hex Editor Neo).
Make a backup of the kenshi_x64.exe file.
Working with Hex Code:
Open the original kenshi_x64.exe file in your Hex editor.
Use the search function (Ctrl + F) and find this hex code:
