I already have it and was working through my modlist and seeing whats redunant. Like with Tweaks Galore invalidating a number of mods.

If you're looking for a way to get these changes in 1.4, check the first line of the description.

Aw shucks, I was trying to recall if these patches got merged in. Thank you!

@Emberbuck I think you're thinking of a different mod I made, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2655869813

Howdy, I'm trying to locate where I read this. Didn't VE Team take bits and pieces of this mod and integrate them into base VBE? and there was a link to the document/post somewhere?

oh gosh thx a bunch! i was directed here by another mod... thx so much for fast response btw! wow

There's a link to the 1.4 version at the top of the description and right below your comment.

is a 1.4 update incoming?

I love you Mlie

Made an update of this:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2894816192
Hope it helps anyone!

they added fascism to rimworld, incredible

honestly I just wish the JoyGiver from this was merged with ve books proper, it's a noticable performance boost

Guys calm down. Mlie is on it. It's on the incoming list.

Update?

please update to 1.4?

1.4 Update anytime soon?

We need you

Ben, come and save us from Vanilla Books Expanded not taking into account books as a joy source, we need you

Will this get updated?

As stated above: "If both LWM's Deep Storage and Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Props and Decor are installed, bookshelves can now be built, which take 2 tiles and can store up to 30 books. (Without Props installed, a placeholder graphic is used.)"

Anyone have the issue where the bookshelf is just a box object that says "Bookshelf"

God damn, I came only looking for something better to store books and I found so much other stuff that I did not know I wanted. Perhaps if there also was something to link to the writing workshops to speed them up... Either way, this is a much needed addition that I feel like the guys should have included in the original

Literature meditation type please! "Fiction" books raise psyfocus when read depending on quality. Masterwork/legendary books can grant a first psylevel to the uninitiated. Maybe one time use scrolls that be used like shock lances/other equipbles for one time spell casts.

Inspired by the new psycasts expanded.

I'm not seeing any effect from reading an excellent quality ideoligeon book.

Great ideas from deadcvnt and Lemonardo, +1.

Have you talked to Oskar about merging your code with the base mod? Especially your improvements seem like no-brainers to just put in the base mod.

please add reading job, or make idle pawns read books

Ideo books can't convert?

@Dave I was having the same issue. Upon investigating the log, it seems like Bulk Stonecutting was interfering with making copies. I removed the mod, reloaded the save, and was able to copy books without issue.

When I copy a book it makes an image of a book but I cannot click on it. When I put the cursor over it it says 'copied book' on the left hand side but I cannot interact with it at all... any ideas?

Is it possible to make pawns read instead of them being idle? Maybe as a work priority?

I had to negate the production category tag for the writing desk and typewriter so pawns would stay in the library to read. Will this cause any issue with the mod in anyway?

Please, can you add support for rimworld of magic books and scrools in your bookshelf? It would be great.

Could you please create an original texture for the book shelf? The props and decor mod is has too much redundant content.

Wonderful mod, thank you so much for making it. I did have a possible bug: I had a colonist close to 0% belief in a secondary ideology and wanted to convert them to a primary ideology after a conversion ritual, so I had them read a copy of a legendary ideology book from the primary ideology. The colonist got done to 0% and stayed at zero while reading, but did not convert. After dropping the book, their belief started to increase in the secondary ideology again. Is this a bug or is it a limitation of code?

would it be possible to add unfinished books to the storage type allowed in the bookshelves when using LWM's Deep Storage and the Vanilla Expanded Props mods?

Ooo, like a tree that produces a book that fills recreation, sounds cool

@somber times -- okay but hear me out... what if there was a book tree?

the books must grow

Thanks for the answer!

@milk You can write books using the non-electric writing table without any industrial tech. It costs 75 cloth, 20 leather, and a LOT of time. With medieval tech only, this mod would only add the ideoligion book type and the bookshelf over what the base mod provides.

Hello, I really like the idea of the mod! I currently make Medieval modpack and want to add this mod, but looking at all this "industrial" stuff some question appears: can I make books without these mechanical stuff like in old times (with pen, paper and leather only)?

Oh, great. Thanks for letting me know!

@ScoSteSal that's already part of Vanilla Books Expanded

Does this have logic to stop a pawn with a high level of some skill from wasting time reading a book about that skill which is too low-quality to teach that pawn anything?

@Ouroboros someone else is welcome to make [???] presents: Vanilla Books Expanded Expanded Expanded, an unofficial addon for Ben Lubar presents: Vanilla Books Expanded Expanded, an unofficial addon for Oskar Potocki's Vanilla Books Expanded mod for RimWorld

Nice! Just wondering... have you considered expanding on this, simply so you can add a mod called Vanilla books expanded expanded expanded?

@Latire safe to add; you'll probably get errors if you remove it

save game compatible right?

@Ben Lubar thanks
