It worked at time of last update.Guys this was the First/Only option once upon a time. Now there are others. I am not going to update any of my Mods for games I have not played for years.

I am going to get it working one more time and then it is being archived for good next time it breaks.

it does not work.

Does this mod work?
Hevmak 16 Oct, 2022 @ 4:59pm 
@argon As per the description "Each book only takes around one fifth the time to read."
I don't remember if this mod works tbh, it's been a while, but there are other options.
Also, 1/5 is faster than 1/2.
Leteen 16 Oct, 2022 @ 4:07pm 
Is it working zero?
Zero Bellum  [author] 16 Oct, 2022 @ 1:40am 
Last update for this one. Hope it works out fine.
Argon 1 Aug, 2022 @ 8:14am 
1/5 of the time? is felt not even the 1/2
In addition, the reading animation is destroyed with it.

@Shionist
As far as online goes, I don't think so. I'm trying to use it now and I don't particularly notice a difference, especially if it's supposed to be 1/5th the time.
On top of that I think below author stated they were working on updating it.
Shionist 14 Jun, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
does it still work ?
Zero Bellum  [author] 5 Jan, 2022 @ 7:01pm 
Working on updates for my mods these were written a long time ago so I will likely update them one more time for the road then someone else can have it
FreeGamer 1 Jan, 2022 @ 9:12am

16,000 subs and author doesn't wanna fix it.:cleandino:
nasKo  [developer] 24 Apr, 2020 @ 5:59am 
Playing on Build 41, this mod currently doesn't stop you from reading a skill book level that you can't read.
Example:
You're level 1 Cooking.
You find "Cooking for intermediates" which is for level 3-4.
Reading the book, your character will spam something along the lines of "This is too complicated for me", where in vanilla it would appear once and the book will not be read.
The mod will continue reading the book, though.
If you finish the book before unlocking level 2, you will not get a boost and will be unable to re-read the book for when you unlocked level 2.

JohnnySabu 1 Sep, 2019 @ 5:42am

Dragonbait 20 Jun, 2019 @ 3:11pm 
Does not seem to work for me currently.
Mishanya 26 Mar, 2019 @ 6:32am 
Update plz?
xxtoxifierxx 16 Jan, 2019 @ 1:05am 
Causes Interference with Hydrocraft. Warned
Burnz 29 Jul, 2018 @ 6:21pm 
Might want to fix your mod name
Hundred 19 Jul, 2018 @ 9:42pm 
Mod title on Steam says "Mod Template," instead of "Faster Reading++" (or +++ ? Anyway, incorrect title)
Zero Bellum  [author] 1 Jul, 2018 @ 2:49am 
Now updated. This particular mod updates \media\lua\client\TimedActions\ISReadABook.lua. I would rather make many little mods than one great big mod. The way it does the "Math" is to change the 1 minute it takes to read a page and turn it to 0.2. Any othe rmod that uses this file will break this mod as mods in this game are basically overides not merges.
Zero Bellum  [author] 1 Jul, 2018 @ 2:45am 
My mods are rather old at this point which I apologize for. I need to update both this and Starting Points++ which the Devs shut down probably for becoming non compatible
Rockbuddy9 21 Jun, 2018 @ 10:08pm 
@Always Neutral

Yes I found that anything that modifies anything that a mod intends to change completely messes up the mod, In short, only have 1 mod that affects things running at at time, due to unforseen compatibilities with other mods of the same nature.
Always Neutral 21 Jun, 2018 @ 7:15am 
it still feels really slow. do book renaming mods affect the mod? like, a conflict of overrides or something? maybe it's supposed to be that slow but it's still vexatiously long.
Rockbuddy9 12 Jun, 2018 @ 11:50pm 
@DrunkenTee
You realize unless you are playing on realtime the default timescale is set to 24 times (1 hour in game=1 day) faster? Those 3 seconds IRL are 72 seconds in game. Unless you are playing at a different time scale (at least 6 hours/day which is 4 times faster) then that would make sense.

@DeadlyDanDaMan
This change works in conjunction with that perk.
Starman 11 May, 2018 @ 4:56pm 
@DrunkenTee 3 seconds = 220 pages read at 3 sec per page = 660 seconds = 11 real minutes. However unless you have a trait or something for reading, it's more like 7 seconds per page which equate to 1540 seconds = 25 real mins of idle time. With a variety of players reading and AFK = servers where people can't sleep. Faster reading is nice.
DrunkenTee 8 May, 2018 @ 5:59pm 
reading 1 page in like 3 seconds.. makes you feel like an idiot? Can you read like 220 pages in 660 seconds which is 11 Minutes and you can remember everything? ;D but still ty for making me wait less
RaIDzOnE 18 Jul, 2017 @ 4:41am 
มันไม่ทำงานเลย
unendinglabor 9 Jul, 2017 @ 11:04am 
doesnt seem to work for me. Is this only for multiplayer?
AnDelusionalDog 13 Mar, 2017 @ 2:13am 
Would it be possble to make another mod that increases reading times by maybe double or triple at most? 5 times seem excessive. Great idea and I would definitely use with that change.
1stReaper 9 Oct, 2016 @ 1:57pm 
i totally agree :), and because of that im so kicking this into my mod load order :P

same goes for me lol... if i had to learn how to set up a dead-fall trap or a jury-rig a gas genny, i would literally speed read to get it done XD
Spiffo 30 Sep, 2016 @ 12:59pm 
If you can't read then the book is no use at all. Very useful book!
AspenFox 25 Sep, 2016 @ 10:43am 
does this modify skill books form other mods?

@DeadlyDanDaMan
Verisimilitude: the quality of appearing to be true or real. In other words, muh immersion!!!
DeadlyDanDaMan 31 Aug, 2016 @ 8:25pm 
Honestly, what's the point of the Fast Reading perk then? This mod completely trivializes that perk, and makes Slow Reader just free points with no downside...completely unbalanced.
Oreon 29 Aug, 2016 @ 10:19am 
OH hell yes!
abeon 23 Aug, 2016 @ 4:19pm 
A nice little mod. Does what it says on the tin. It would be nice to see recipes learnt from reading too.
Zero Bellum  [author] 19 Jul, 2016 @ 2:38pm 
Works with Multiplayer - Added that to the description
