Passion
As well as their skill levels, each character can have a level of passion for each skill. The level of passion determines the rate at which the character will develop that skill. A characters' passion level for a particular skill is depicted by a flame icon beside the skill on the character tab. The levels of passion are:
None
Skills with no flames. Characters with no passion for a skill only gain experience toward that skill at 30% of the standard rate.
Interested
Skills with one flame. Characters that are interested in a skill will gain experience at the standard rate.
Burning
Skills with two flames. Characters with a burning passion for a skill will gain experience at 150% of the standard rate.
Experience Table
Note that level decay begins after level 10 (Expert), at which point colonists will be constantly losing experience at an increasing rate the higher the skill is. There is no level 21, as the max experience in the game is capped at 220999, 1 exp short of leveling up.
