Description
Simple Skill Books reworks both skill books themselves, and the rewards they offer. They still come in sets of five, but each has been altered in respect to their tier level, and now have a value even after that tier level has been achieved:

Book 1 - Pages 10 - Available at Tier 1 - Awards 100XP on completion.
Book 2 - Pages 50- Available at Tier 3 - Awards 500XP on completion.
Book 3 - Pages 175 - Available at Tier 5 - Awards 1,750XP on completion.
Book 4 - Pages 500 - Available at Tier 7 - Awards 5,000XP on completion.
Book 5 - Pages 800 - Available at Tier 9 - Awards 8,000XP on completion.

With zero XP in a skill, Book 1 will provide all of the first level of the skill's required XP, and a small amount more. The remainer must be obtained through other means. This gives a boost initially into the skill, but still requires the player to level the skill to advance further, rather than simply skill up via books alone as some other mods offer.

A character that already has the first level in that skill completed, such as a Repairman (Carpentry T1) will obtain 100XP for the second level of the skill, a decent amount but not enough to progress onto the next tier.

A character that has progressed even further, such as a Carpenter (Carpentry T3) can still obtain the 100XP Book 1 offers, although for this level it is a drop in the bucket. That OCD satisfaction can be obtained without considering this a wasted effort. The same applies to every skill, for every level.

As standard, the XP Multiplier that vanilla provides has been disabled, but there is a sandbox option available to restore it for those who want the easy mode.

Build 42: All new skill books added.

Please note that this multiplier, and perk multipliers do not apply to the XP skill books provide. You can't have it too easy :P

Que lástima, contigo casi veo una luz al final del túnel, pero sí, además seguramente habría que hacer que sea compatible con los mods mas importantes que incluyen libros, como el tuyo. Pero muchas gracias de todas formas, tome su like señor

Hablaba en teoría. En la práctica, podría ser más complicado y requerir la resolución de problemas adicionales donde la nueva literatura interactúa con otras partes del juego.

No tengo tiempo para ello, pero seguro que a alguien le interesaría.

De verdad podrias hacer eso? Eliminar toda la basura seria genial, la literatura estaría decente, podrias hacerlo? TE AMO

Mmm. Muchas de las revistas recién añadidas tienen recetas, y por supuesto, hay algunos libros de habilidades originales.

Pero sí, hay mucha basura. Se podría crear un parche rápido para reducir el desorden reemplazando el archivo items_literature, ya que los libros de habilidades y las recetas ahora tienen sus propios archivos. Sin embargo, esto solo eliminaría la basura, no aumentaría la cantidad de literatura útil.

Muchas gracias, por otro lado si yo supiera fabricar mods, crearia uno que quite la enorme cantidad de revistas y libros inutiles que se agregaron a la B42 dejando la escencia de la B41, porque hay demasiado material que no aporta en nada al juego

Este mod está diseñado para que los jugadores puedan subir de nivel rápidamente sus habilidades al principio del juego, a cambio de esforzarse un poco más en etapas posteriores. Por eso los libros tienen más páginas a medida que avanzan (y también pesan más :P).

Siempre puedes activar el multiplicador o usar mi serie Skill Tapes para obtener XP extra.

Creo que el libro 4 y 5 tienen demasiadas páginas en comparacion con el resto, pero es un mod excelente y bien pensado! Gracias

@Quilava - This mod gives 1 full tier, and about 10% of the next. If you want it to go faster, enable the XP Multiplier in the sandbox options. The last few levels will still take a while though

Is there any version of this mod but give full 2 level for each tier? I just want to skip reading as fast as i can and just go explore, building stuff, CDDA reading was one i use before, but now it gone for B42 :sad_seagull:

@CJ187 - The default is no multiplier, so I haven't really checked if it's still working correctly so my bad. TBH, it originally wasn't even part of the design, and was only added back on request. I'll take a look into it, but TBH I don't think that many people even use it.

The mod is meant to provide quicker gains at lower levels, in exchange for slower gains at higher levels. As such, I will not be changing the page settings, they work as intended. The weights correspond to the page size too, you'll note. Book one is essentially a pamphlet, and Book 5 is a huge reference book.

What "other skill book mods" are you talking about? I have already provided patch mods for: Extra Books, Scavenger Skill, Driver Skill, Woodcutting Skill and Lifestyle: Hobbies

EDIT - Tested on vanillia with just this mod enabled. Unable to replicate your anti-cheat issue. I'm guessing it's some other mod at fault.
