Currently playing Alpha 19.4 (b7) with Darkness Falls on mod launcher. Not sure if this is a known bug or if its been fixed in a newer version, but I just combined a tier 80 completely broken robotic sledge (had 5 mods in it still) with a tier 71 crafted robotic sledge (full durability I think) in the laser workbench in order to repair it and my character level suddenly jumped from lvl 130 to lvl 250.

I leveled up exactly when I pulled the repaired tier 80 robotic sledge out of the "result" slot on the laser workbench, not sure if there could be any other reason. The log doesn't seem to list individual XP drops and I'm not sure if theres anywhere else I could find useful information on what actually happened.
I'm mostly just curious if anyone else encountered something similar or if this is some freaky random occurence. I tried whacking the sledge until it stopped working (no durability) and repaired it with another lvl 71 sledge the same way and I didn't get a huge xp boost, so if anything its not consistent or there were specific variables I failed to recreate.
I wouldn't worry too much about this, at the least it doesn't completely break the game (other than skipping the entire end game grinding phase for me, lol). I'm just mostly curious why it happened.
