Chain Saw and Jack Hammer not leveling up
First I want to say thank you for the great Mod. However, I was wondering why the Jack Hammer and Chain Saw do not level up? Not that they are OP already in the game. Again Thank you for a great mod.
So tired of answering this question to my players.  Have to disable them because they level up at turbo speed.  IF I lower the rate, then all the other stuff happens at a snail pace.

So is this ever going to get solved?  No update in 10 months I am assuming not.

It seems an easy fix.  Different 'rate' for different tool tiers or something
Would it be possible to apply the zlevel bonuses to power tools without allowing them to contrinute to levelling?  This could be a configuration option.. It would make the power tools (more) useful on zlevel servers. 


Thanks
    "excludeChainsawOnGather": false,
    "excludeJackhammerOnGather": false
If I disable those, wouldn't the levels be increased by the power tools?  I don't want that.  I want the level bonuses to apply to the power tools, but I don't want them used for levelling.
It does unfortunately. 

Okay for an initial heads up - I'm very new to this so this could be an extremely easy fix that I'm not seeing.

I'm struggling to make this work on my server, basically none of the changes I'm making are having any effect (apart from obviously ridiculous ones like making mining level up your woodcutting skill - purely done to make sure the changes were actually saving).

I'm trying to make jackhammers and chainsaws work, I've changed it to:

excludeJackhammerOnGather = Convert.ToBoolean(GetConfig("Generic", "excludeJackhammerOnGather", false));

excludeChainsawOnGather = Convert.ToBoolean(GetConfig("Generic", "excludeChainsawOnGather", false));

however this isn't actually changing anything on the server, is there something else I'm missing?

I was also hoping to reduce the multiplyer per level to reduce how much extra resources players can get early on, as most of my server now has boxes full of sulfur and metal with little to no effort.

Does anyone please have any idea where I'm going wrong? As the players I have all really want this mod but between us nobody in the community can find any reason why this isn't working 

Are you trying to edit something that already exists in the plugin? If so, you need to be editing the configuration file, not the plugin itself.
I'll add this to my notes of things to add. :)
So have an option to allow it, as well as being able to change how much?
Just trying to understand what the community wants so I can add it
+1 to this idea.  Would be very nice to enable/diable xp with power tools (or any tools for that matter) as well as blacklist items entirely from getting any bonus or xp.  Would also be very nice to be able to scale bonus on a per item level but now I feel like I'm getting my hopes too high.

I'm trying t understand too.

The config has these settings.

"PointsPerHit": {
"A": 15,
"M": 15,
"S": 15,
"WC": 15
},
"PowerToolPerHit": {
"M": 15,
"WC": 15
},

Wouldn't you then be able to control the leveling up with the PowerToolPerHit setting?

For instance, if you set those values for M and MW to 0, wouldn't they not level up at all, but still provide bonuses?
That's what I'd think. I'll do some extensive testing over the course of the next week or two.
