Speed Reader - Quarter-Time

Description
This mod reduces the time required to gain experience from reading a book by 75%.

Whether training your villagers in combat, crafting, farming, or research, they will now read books four times faster, reaching their potential more efficiently and freeing up valuable time for other tasks.

Vanilla XP Curve:
In the vanilla game, book reading time scales linearly based on XP granted. It starts with 500 XP taking 30 minutes to read. This increases to 1500 XP taking 45 minutes, 3000 XP taking 75 minutes, and 9000 XP taking 120 minutes. There is no specific node defined for 6000 XP books; these default to the halfway point between 3000 and 9000 XP, taking approximately 100 minutes.

Any XP value beyond 9000 will use the 9000 XP metric, meaning even higher XP books take the same time as a 9000 XP book.


Three-Quarter-Time Version: With this mod active, reading times are reduced by 75%, meaning they take one quarter of their original time. For example:
- 500 XP books take 7.5 minutes
- 1500 XP books take 11.25 minutes
- 3000 XP books take 18.75 minutes
- 6000 XP books take 25 minutes
- 9000+ XP books take 30 minutes

Knowledge Overflow Compatibility:
The Knowledge Overflow mod will be adding new books granting XP values beyond the vanilla maximum of 9000. These new books will still follow the same time scaling system, capped at the 9000 XP reading time metric (or adjusted times based on your active Speed Reader variant). For example, with Speed Reader - Half-Time active, even a 50,000 XP book will take only 60 minutes, matching the halved 9000 XP duration.

We would love to make a blueprint, set your own values version. Alas, the devs have yet to even begin to expose the required functions to make that happen.

Should have said so too, but thanks for all the work!

Hey @VoidKitten, it would be great to have one mod to rule them all, hehehe.
Maybe have like a .ini file with all the options, book read speed, storage sizes, house sizes, etc.

Maybe it's intended, to be like this... if that's the case, then never mind. 😆

If you are getting a warning, ensure that the mod menu properly shows that you have it installed. Steam doesnt always download workshop items when you hit subscribe. If you both have it listed in your mod menu, it should be fine. We could remove the warning from it, but its there for a reason.

Works in Co-Op however we keep getting an error pop-up on load and any death/respawn.
We both ONLY have this mod downloaded/active.
