@FouN - Yeah, the mod isn't really designed to be used with the x2 multiplier, which is why it's disabled as default. I only set it as optionally enabled so people who want to speed level skills can do so. As for mod options in general, iunno much about them (this one was made by someone who requested it) but feel free to submit the mod options you desire if you know that stuff, and I'll add them

Would be nice to have the ability to change the xp given in the sandbox options, because I like playing with some skills set to 1.5 or 2.0 multiplier but when I read one book I have 5 full levels added, which is too op

@whoever's comment that was that has been sucked into the void - By default, yes. The XP bar has been removed, and one obtains XP after finishing a book they are able to read. Even if it's Book 1, and one's char is in say T4, they will get the XP for that. But one can not read Book 4 if they are still in T1 of course.

There is a sandbox option to reinstate the XP bar if one is so inclined, however which will provide both benefits.

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

@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.

Like the idea of the mod, that the skillbooks give some kind of skill too and not just a boost.
i want a combination of both, so i set deactivate multiplyer to false.
now i get kicked all time by anti cheat type 15 (XP gain)

Book level 3 gives me, i dont know a boost of x8 and the skill book 1750XP

1750XP x8 = 14.000XP o.O

i would prefer the books stay like vanilla
with 200 pages insteat of 10 for the first book
and the XP gain are minimalistic or customizable.

EG Book level
1 = 220 pages, x3 +15XP
2 = 260 pages, x5 + 20XP
3 = 300 pages, x8 + 30XP
4 = 340 pages, x9 + 40XP
5 = 380 pages, x10 + 50XP

Also, mod is not compatible with other skill book mods.

@Booty-Closet - Well, it's more of a trade off than a nerf. It's much easier to get the first few levels, but harder to get the later ones. Most people aren't worried about maxing out their characters so much as making them viable. This mod helps characters achieve that without being over-powered.

If you think it's too difficult for you, you can always re-enable the multiplier with the sandbox setting.

correct me if I'm wrong, but this mod is a fairly substantial nerf to skill books right? For example getting level 3 and 4 takes 1050xp. With the 5x bonus from the vanilla level 2 skill book that becomes 210xp worth of player actions, while the 500xp from the modded book would leave you still needing 550xp. The 16x times bonus from book 5 in vanilla means the player needs to earn the equivalent of 1000xp while the modded book leaves you needing another 8000xp to finish level 10.

Thank you Monkey!

@Hawkefire: Updated to include Maintenance books

Also please be sure to update this mod to include the new maintenance books!

@Kenpachi - I also make mods for 7 Days to Die and World of Warcraft. Check me out on Curseforge as Wyr3d ;)

I grabbed the patch and noticed you created mods for Rimworld too. You obviously have great taste in gaming.

Honestly the only reason more people don't use it is because there are quite a few skillbook mods out there already.

That said, this ones probably my favorite implementation so fantastic job!

IIRC, it was for B41, B42 doesn't have MP enabled yet, so iunno

is this multiplayer compatible

@Kenpachi - Thanks. Gotta say, I'm surprized more people don't use this mod. But I guess there's a fair bit of competition, and people like different things.

BTW, be sure to check out the support mod in my workshop, if you're also using Extra Books mod. ^^

Very cool. Thank you.

@太弱小了，没有力量 - Yeah, XP is on a per page system with Simple Skill Books which is why I adjusted the pages per book tier accordingly. As such, it really isn't a mod designed to mesh well with other mods that add skill books.

For the one in question, I suppose you could make a patch mod...

EDIT - So, I went ahead and made a patch mod for Extra Books Mod so you can install Extra Books Mod Patch from my workshop, and this will fix the issue. The patch successfully adjusts the new skill books the mod adds to fit in with Simple Skill Books design.

Remember to burn any existing skill books if you plan on adding the patch to an existing save, as the fix is not retroactive. Have fun ^^

Really love this idea, "why I gain no xp after I read a book?". But it seems like this mod conflicts with extra books mod, will make you gain lots of xp after read even tier 1 book, guess because xp is related to book pages?

Please note that while technically this mod can be added to an existing game, any skill books you have already found should be destroyed to avoid issues - I suggest using them as BBQ fuel. New books you find will work correctly.

On a server you should be able to switch the status of the multiplier at any time by opening up the options file. For SP you will probably need something like Star's Change Sandbox Options for anything other than Custom Sandbox

can i change it too get xp multiplier in a server after server is up of can i change it mid game

Please note that as this mod has to replace the items_literature file in order to properly award XP per book tier, it is likely incompatible with other mods that attempts to change this file. It should be fine with mods that add new books (most mods do this), so long as they do not alter that file.

cool!

I made this mod coz after trying out several different mods for alternative skill book progression - even so far as making a tweaked version of one just prior to this mod - none of them satisfied all the conditions I was looking for.

So yeah, if it don't exist make it yaself, right?
