10/08/2020: Release



Since Books are now a thing in the base game, it wasn't easy to decide what to do with this mod. Fortunately, books can't be written by the player in the base game, so it was a simple decision: This mod will now allow you to construct writing bench and typewriter bench, and will then allow your colonists to write different types of books, same way it worked before.

You can also write newspapers for a quick and simple recreation bonus for your colonists.

I hope you will appreciate this mod as much as I enjoyed making it!

[forms.gle]



Q: Does this mod work with RimWorld 1.1?
A: Yes! We are backwards compatible!

Q: Does this mod work with any other mods adding new joy types?
A: Yes, we are completely separate!

Q: Are there bookshelves? Or are you planning to add bookshelves?
A: No and no. Vanilla shelves are just as good and I don’t see a need to add a simple reskin to it just to look like a bookshelf.

Q: Is this mod compatible with RimWriter or other book mods?
A: Yes, however you will have overlap - most likely two different book writing tables, each writing different/same books.

Q: Where are the fiction books? Can we get an X book type?
A: Fiction books and other books will come in the future. As much as I appreciate suggestions, please don’t suggest a book type unless you can also suggest a way to make it unique other than “It gives more joy”.

Q: How long does it take to write a book?
A: It all depends on your intellectual skill, but generally it’s a kind of job that takes a tremendous amount of time - we are talking quadrums here.

Q: How do I get blueprints or maps?
A: They can only be obtained from traders.

Q: How does a blueprint work?
A: You force your pawn to read it. It will take a massive amount of time, but in the end will result in a given technology being researched.

Q: Is this mod save game compatible?
A: Yes, you can add it whenever you like. Removing it however can cause errors, so back up your save!

Q: How long does a newspaper last?
A: Exactly 24 hours from the time it’s made. It is however fast to craft and provides pawns with joy when read.

Q: CE compatible?
A: Yes. I hope. I say yes but in reality I don’t know. Probably is tho, but I never even played with CE. What is CE?

Just thought this was funny:
"Q: Does this mod work with RimWorld 1.1?
A: Yes! We are backwards compatible!"

Meanwhile the mod is only backwards compatible to 1.4

@Sarg Bjornson how does their schedule need to be configured exactly in order to get them to read? I've had them do it during their rec time and work time and neither has been helpful. Do you need to have them set to do the task in question for them to read it?

I am posting this message across all of our mods because many people seem to have forgotten about it:

- We do not check comment sections for bug reports. There is simply too many mods and too many comments section to keep track of it.
- We are not looking into fixing bugs reported in the comment section. We have no way to do so. There is no logs, and no information viable for bug fixing.
- We only look into fixing and fix bugs reported using our Google Forms for bug reporting, and only if all the required logs are attached.
- The google form can be found here: https://forms.gle/rzJpjpBUijBGhpcy7
- Please do not report bugs in the comments anymore. Leave the comments for questions and feedback. Report bugs properly or not at all.

I'm having some trouble getting my colonists to actually read the books. Whenever I prioritize reading the book the colonist goes and sits down, then gets up within a second and leaves to do something else. Am I missing something?

You need to research Writing.

WTF one of you actually listened to me, I'm so unused to that!

(thanks)

If none of you report it, it will never get fixed

I also had the same thing happen. It would switch back and forth between Lab and Library at random. I turned this mod off and it did seem to fix the issue for me.
