this mod does do anything, waste of time

Please remove the physical consume book setting. It shouldn't disappear it's a fking book what are you doing eating it for knowledge??
Omega_Wolf 16 Aug, 2024 @ 1:58pm 
kinda shit that u cant gain the levels without consuming the book. if you could gain the levels without consuming the book, thatd be nice, but as it stands now, thats really the only thing keeping me from liking this mod

For people using this with the skill recovery journey mod, if you want the XP gained from skill books to be transcribed, you need to enable "Transcribe XP earned from TV/VHS" setting in the sandbox options.

Wich magazines if you reading magazine for boredom this is abselutly normal.
Под fresh bar 2 Jan, 2024 @ 10:44am 
Why does the magazine disappear when I read it?
Ariex 14 Dec, 2023 @ 1:50am 
Nice concept. Please consider adding a configurable settings to turn off book consumption for magazines. It's quite limiting if used together with other mods

Can you fix so it doesn't devour the Skill Recovery Journal when read? great mod btw
GwenBlanketSpecter 21 Jan, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
has anyone tried this with modded skills?
MAB 11 Jan, 2023 @ 11:49am 
Bro i read all Tailoring books and it got max but it still shows XP boost. how to fix this ?
Zexxy 8 Nov, 2022 @ 10:33am 
Does this mod work in multiplayer?
chornobyl 26 Sep, 2022 @ 2:14pm 
what i have to enable to have only "read while walking" and the other things in vanilla style?
Kuality Queen 6 Sep, 2022 @ 3:58pm 
can you only customize this mod on singleplayer? because the mod wont appear under sandbox settings while triying to open a server.
catchfree1225 6 Sep, 2022 @ 9:16am 
I found out that this mod eats Skill recovery journal after reading it , is it able to fix it?
KONIJIMA  [author] 2 Sep, 2022 @ 6:28am 
@catchfree1225 it should work
catchfree1225 1 Sep, 2022 @ 7:03am 
Hello, will this mod works with mod that add skill-books for strength or weapon skills?
(Eg. more skill books)
AuD 25 Aug, 2022 @ 7:31am 
L'ajout d'Xp à la lecture et le fait de consommer le livre ne me convenait pas finalement (alors que je trouvais ça bon au debut, mais cela ne convient pas à tout le monde).

Du coup je pensais plutôt à rendre la littérature plus difficile du coté de l'usure qui serait "set" pendant la lecture, et le rendre inutilisable au bout d'un moment, assez rapidement genre 3 lecture du livre max, et ainsi rendre la recherche de livre plus intéressante et renouvelable.

La littérature vanilla me dérange vraiment (surtout en COOP/SOLO) sur le fait de garder le livre indéfiniment ou presque ...
AuD 25 Aug, 2022 @ 7:14am 
c'est bon ca !! du coup oui tu vas étoffer tout ça, c'est bon à savoir ;) merci
KONIJIMA  [author] 25 Aug, 2022 @ 6:23am 
@AuD c'est quelque chose que je pensais ajouter. Je vais voir ca.
AuD 25 Aug, 2022 @ 2:15am 
Salut, je cherche un mod/moyen qui accélérerait l'usure du livre quand on le lit, est-ce que ca existe?

I am looking for a mod to accelerate the wear of books while reading. ;)
KONIJIMA  [author] 23 Aug, 2022 @ 6:59pm 
@StonePiper thats how it works already, set the sandbox settings like you wish to.
StonePiper 23 Aug, 2022 @ 6:26pm 
Can you make a version that only has the 'walk while reading' tweak - That or preferably make them toggle-able settings? If that's how it works already I'll download it, but I just want to be able to walk and read with no other changes.
MoonSpirit76 22 Aug, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
Sounds really cool.That's a great solution too, thanks
KONIJIMA  [author] 22 Aug, 2022 @ 1:17pm 
I may add a sandbox option that allow to enter item id to be ignored by the mod.
Something like: Base.MyBook1;Base.MyBook2
This way those exception will act like vanilla.
MoonSpirit76 22 Aug, 2022 @ 11:05am 
Anyway, I'm glad this mod appeared. Thank you for that. I was very happy when this mod correctly read the fitness book and gave a level and exp bonus.
MoonSpirit76 22 Aug, 2022 @ 10:56am 
Sorry to bother you guys. But in hydrocraft, these books are not created for the server deficit. You either read vanilla books and magazines or read a couple of infinite books. They are worse in parameters than vanilla newspaper (-5 to -15 stress, boredom, unhappiness). They rarely come across in the respawn list and are made as an alternative choice. But that's just my opinion. Anyway I just found this in my game when I read bedtime stories and it was gone. And when reading some recipes - you still can't move or the reading progress bar stops.
Riko Prushka 22 Aug, 2022 @ 10:40am 
@MoonSpirit76 I think it's working as intended. A book is a book, no exception.This is to create scarcity, which affects the economy on the server.
KONIJIMA  [author] 22 Aug, 2022 @ 10:34am 
@MoonSpirit76 i understand that but that is the point of this mod, making all books disposable. But I supose I could make a patch mod that disable hydrocraft books.
MoonSpirit76 22 Aug, 2022 @ 9:22am 
In hydrocraft, you can read some books - all the time. They are not spent as vanilla items and do not disappear. If both mods are on (hydrocraft and yours) - hydrocraft books that reduce boredom and unhappiness become disposable like vanilla items. This is the problem.
KONIJIMA  [author] 22 Aug, 2022 @ 8:56am 
Hey @MoonSpirit76 I'm not sure to understand what you mean by it shouldn't, with this mod all books and magazine are consumed.
MoonSpirit76 21 Aug, 2022 @ 6:42pm 
I have two news. Good and bad. Good - mod is compatible with Eliaz Fitness & Strength Books B41 and Additional Skill Books 2. The books give experience and boost and are deleted.

Bad news - mod affects the other mod. On Hydrocraft. There are books there - reusable (Bedtime Stories and Fairytale Book and other books and magazines) But with this mod after reading the books are just deleted. But it shouldn't be.
KONIJIMA  [author] 21 Aug, 2022 @ 2:47pm 
Last update for today sorry for the trouble.

Update: 21 Aug @ 5:46pm

KONIJIMA  [author] 21 Aug, 2022 @ 1:36pm

- Consuming Skill Book now give XP Boost.
- Level and XP Boost configurable in Sandbox Settings.
- New poster from Riko Prushka <3
KONIJIMA  [author] 21 Aug, 2022 @ 11:25am 
Alright so I've discussed that issue with Klean which is the actual owner of the mod and what I will do is, each book will give a level when completed. So basically players will be able to get like 4 free level by reading books but the rest will need actual grinding. To balance this server owner can make reading slower.
PepperCat 21 Aug, 2022 @ 11:22am 
Hello! first of all, love the idea! congrats
I have a question, after you read the book for your current levels (For example Lv1 Carpentry) that levels you up to Lv1 and half, then you must finish the level by doing carpentry stuff, right? I mean you can't read another Carpentry Lv1 to finish the level, that's the expected behaviour? or I missunderstood?
Siege 21 Aug, 2022 @ 11:10am 
Ok thanks, look forward to the update!
AuD 21 Aug, 2022 @ 10:09am 
@Siege. i believe, it's in work in progress....
Siege 21 Aug, 2022 @ 8:50am 
Great Mod! Making Literature a resource is a great idea for MP servers, however when using the mod with XP disabled, players are able to read a skill book up to the last page receiving almost the full amount XP multiplier without the book being consumed, could the multiplier only be given on consumption to avoid this from happening?
Gabester 21 Aug, 2022 @ 8:44am 
Very cool and useful! 🥳
Taz 21 Aug, 2022 @ 6:26am 
why
(Seeking)Eye 20 Aug, 2022 @ 2:37pm 
This mod has quite interested me. and it works quite well, even syncing up with mods that provide skill books for skills that normally wouldn't have them. currently im trying to figure out what amount of XP is best considering i run books for all skills, including fitness and strength. it really complicates this one.
AuD 20 Aug, 2022 @ 10:50am 
ton mod est comme une synchronicité car je parlais de ca à DANE hier soir, un moyen de revisiter la littérature !
AuD 20 Aug, 2022 @ 10:44am 
et add un peu de multiplicateur à la fin aussi comme ça ca force a lire jusqu'au bout si l'on veut otut les avantages
AuD 20 Aug, 2022 @ 10:42am 
j’étais en train de voir un script justement, pour mettre sur mon serv en rapport avec ton mod, pour add a la fin et uniquement si il est lu entierement, mettre un random sur l'xp gagné a la fin meme, et pourquoi pas basé sur l'intelligence ...
