Description: Putting down some gas/O2 tanks or fuel cells and luring robots to them is a very efficient and impressive way of killing large numbers of smaller units or one Tank/Harvester… but we gain NO XP from that!
Steps To Reproduce: Just do the above.

The way XP works is … questionable.
It seems you’re only getting XP when you entered combat and the message pops up. Then the game only takes into account:
Needless to say, if you spend 15 minutes killing a bunch of robots you’re getting a lot of XP. Being clever, using stealth and setting traps on the other hand … it currently encourages you to play like Rambo.
I agree. If this was an online competitive game then this sort of balance for XP gain might work, but this is solely a casual co-op and solo robot shooter so there’s really no point in nerfing XP gain based on what methods we use to kill Machines.
