I believe it isn't. I've been wanting to rework this but I've been busy with other mods and stuff. If all goes well it will be updated within a week's time. I hope

Is this mod no longer functional? I am using it, but seeing no difference in my skills while holding it in my tool belt or hands?

Dead rising: deep in the tax

I've been fidgeting with talents for my next mod and I can tell you, they get stupid complicated at times... or stupid easy too! But, from what I could see is that items can't really give you the ability for better quality or such. For example, the quality system is strictly linked to the mechanical/engineering/other skill. But, I think that recipes can be added through consumables... Mhm I wonder...
Le Darko 9 Dec, 2021 @ 12:04pm 
Hm. I have no idea if the talents are able to be modded, but your magazines could still be used.

If you *could* add more qualities (By that I mean the item qualities, i.e Basic, Good, Excelent, Masterwork), your magazines could still be worthwhile.

They could either increase the threshold of those qualities if you add more qualities, or completely change up how the system works. Sorta like "magazines for dummies" where if you read a... let's say a gunsmithing magazine, this will now let you craft higher quality weapons. It is kinda hard to talk through comments, so if you are open to more feedback or such, i'd be more than willing to have a chat on steam or even discord. But I hope you know what I am aiming at :p.

Very, though I'm actually kind of happy about it. The point of this mod was to try and help close the gap of newly hired crew with the veterans. They added this as a vanilla feature since the update, how could I be mad/sad that the game added something I though it was necessary? :steamhappy:
Le Darko 8 Dec, 2021 @ 11:41pm 
Yeah the new addition of magazines into the base game had rather screwed up this mod, didn't it? :p
Yak'All  [author] 8 Dec, 2021 @ 4:24pm 
Ah my bad, last time I rebalanced I made it so you couldn't keep it in your hads. I might change the mags so they work more similarly to the books in-game. Nothing set yet

cant hold mags in hands for some reason
