great I always had the issue of a families kids growing up dumb, but resourceful due to manual labor. this should add a nice balance

what a genius goddamn idea

@Futstub Should fire automatically under Childcare work

Will the adults automatically read to children, or do I need to make them do it?

@Wraith_Magus My mod only adds books, it does nothing to how bookshelves work. Also this mod has built in support for Vanilla Books Expanded so there shouldn't be any issues between them. The error you posted has "pathRelToParent=/sourcePrecept" and precepts are an ideology thing, so my guess would be an ideology mod that adds a precept regarding books. I hope that helps.

I'm using this and Vanilla Books Expanded, and my error log is printing out errors which I think may come from this mod, since it changes the way bookshelves work. "Tried to register the same load ID twice: null, pathRelToParent=/sourcePrecept, parent=Bookcase17764335" I get one of these errors for every bookcase that exists in the game. If it matters, Childrens' Books seems to get loaded before VBE just letting RimSort do the sorting.

My colony will probably have the "german" versions of Childrens Storys, as we are all psychopaths

Great mod, functions well! One complaint; the amount of work to create one at a Writer's desk is the same as other, more "serious" books, so it takes forever to write one. I think it should take at most half the time of a regular book, if not less.

Excellent mod, thank you for your contribution

@1340815253 should be fixed now, turned out it was easier to just let mechs read to babies and children, I may add a setting to disable that in the future

@1340815253 I need to add <canBeDoneByMechs>false</canBeDoneByMechs> to the WorkGiverDef, it's one of the fixes in the next update and hopefully will resolve that error

I add Surrogate Mechanoid mod,has some error.I don't know which mod is the problem.

the trait one too

Going right into the modlist

@DisKorruptd after putting it together I felt it would be bloat added to this mod, so here it is as a stand alone

You beat me to making these hehe I saw someone added in comics and thought children's books were such a good addition. Thanks so much!

@UncleRippu Added, let me know how the balance feels

@DisKorruptd I can look into that, I may have it do more though like increased social impact or opinions with children.

Cute!

"Young Heart" trait, Pawns with this trait don't get bored by Children's books

more books for the grand library

maybe add some vanilla books expanded compat, so players can make their own kid's books

What a cute idea!
