About

AddExperience grants XP to the player who runs the command. Use the first argument to set the amount. The second argument determines whether the game treats the XP as coming from a tribe action (which affects how it's logged or displayed). The third argument controls whether the XP stays with the individual player or spreads to their entire tribe.

This command is useful for correcting lost progress, testing level thresholds, or bulk-granting XP during events. Run it from the in-game admin console with cheat prefix.
