Very good! When I dated a person that played starbound I would write some letters on these books and leave them around the planets... Very nice, a great thing to add on starbound

@YaoAngelsin I'm sorry I ignored your "Add Friend",I thought it was an bad message.I've resend it to you.

Hey 星河舟,
I'd be happy if you translated it to chinese and I am also interested in integrating it into this version of the mod. Contact me on Steam if you want to chat more about it.

Can I translate it into Chinese（by patch）and upload it to Steam?

Loved it ♥ it's super nice if you wanna leave some books for your friends. I think it's the cutest thing.

What a fantastic mod! And the layout of the finished books is super pleasant and nice. Good job!

Some characters don't work properly or just write "unknown".

fellas, install this mod for inf pages https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898898935

please make some sort of way to have infinite pages by putting an inf amount of paper

Never mind! I found out the correct way to color text.

Just for any of you who are confused as I was, remove the <> when choosing your color.
Example:
^Red;

I seem to be having trouble coloring text. I just barely installed the mod and don't have FU or any other large mod packs. I think I get the text to trigger.

These are the attempts to type in:
^<Red>;
^<red>;

I can tell that it's suppose to do something seeing as the prefix to change color disappears as soon as it's completely typed, though I see no change in color both in the editor and the book.

I have a pretty good suspicion that this is a bug, however if it's not the case then any help with how to actually do it is greatly appreciated!

Author, thank you so much.
I can't tell you enough of how much our server needed this. I'm going to be spending a lot of time with your mod

One important question though: is it compatible with Frackin'Universe?

Hearty thank you!

This is EXACTLY what I needed. Being able to record data in a book like this is perfect, and it even makes sense that it would work this way.

@guvvo: No, unfortunately it does not, it should however support all the languages that Starbound supports and has characters for.

Does it support right to left languages, such as Hebrew?

yes!

this is -almost- exactly what i was looking for! thank you!
just two things that make me sad:
• can't edit an already-existing/started book or leave it in an unfinished form so more can be added or edited later;
• can't start writing on-the-fly.

any chance at all of these two features being added? a portable journal, perhaps, or an add-on to this mod to do just that?

on a related note, is there a limit to how many pages a book can have?

@Jake But its HAMBURGOR: Yes and no, you can't edit the same book, but you can "copy" a book and edit it that way, producing a new book with your changes.

is it editable once ye finish?

Thank you for checking but I think we had it figured out a while ago and got it working.

@Jokiu: I've taken a look at the bookstore mod, but I can't find any immediate issues or conflicts. Have you taken a look at the starbound.log and can you post any error messages that you might be getting in connection to the mod?

@patriciapattacini: Do you mean how to use it? Take a look in the 'Inventor's Table' to craft a 'Writing Station' and there is a tutorial book at the 'Infinity Express' at the outpost.

how do you actually do the mod?

I think this mod is getting in the way of the Bookstore mod. Could you please look into it?

@Nightsauce
go to the inventers Table and Find the Writing Table
Place it down
and put paper in
Boom
Write your books

@초식남
Paste your Text in then

why can i download your mod it does not appear on my starbound what do i do!??!?

@GrassPupper
Everything this mod needs is stored inside the item itself, meaning if something goes wrong/you stop using it, all that will happen is that the books turn into the "Perfectly generic item". It's not gonna mess up any save files as far as I can tell.

Quick question. If I install this mod and play it with my friend will it corrupt my world or save files?
we have frackin universe and other stuff too but I just wanted to add this because it seems like we would use it lol.

OH.... IT GETS GREATER THEN I THAT.. I LOVE THIS MODE SO MUSH. SO.. I AM BEGGING YOU FOR ALL MY HEART.................COULD U PLZ UPDATE THIS MODE INTERNATIONAL... I REALLY WANT TO WRITE AND COLLET BOOK WITH MY NATIVE LANGUAGE.... OH PLZ........... GOD BLESS U.......

THIS MOD IS SO GREAT. BUT SAD THING IS THAT IT ONLY CAN WRITE WHITH ENGLISH.
SO SAD..

Is it possible to edit the book after creating it, without the station?

@Lime FullHammer
Unfortunately you can't type in russian directly, but you can copy russian into books just fine.

@Joetheman
Only if the server and the other clients have the mod as well.

@Brumas
I do plan on offering that eventually.

@fatputtycat
The items name is 'writableBookWTB' .. so I think /spawnitem writableBookWTB should do the trick

Any chance we could get a non-Steam version of the mod on Chucklefish?

Does this work in multiplayer

it is possible to write in Russian?

i'm looking everywhere at the infinity express, and i simply cant find it available to purchase. The guide book, I mean. Is there a way to spawn it through admin commands?

Is it possible for it NOT to show the author in the description of the book?

Highlight the text you want to copy-paste. Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste if you're on a PC, Command-C and Command-V on a MAC, with c and v corresponding to the same commands as before. I don't know if Linux is any different, but it probably also has something to do with c and v.

how do i copy and past?

I WILL NOT DIE, NOT YET AMIGO

what is the book normal hex code

No, unfortunately not. If you uninstall the mod, the books become unusable sadly. Similarly, all people in the multiplayer session need the mod to read the books.
But, it uninstalls without any issues (after the first restart).

If I were to install this mod, make a custom book in singleplayer, get rid of the crafting stations
and uninstall it, would the book be usable in multiplayer?

are there any quirks like once you install it uninstalling it makes it buggy?

YES this is wut i ned

This remains me of some challenge/ adventure maps in minecraft many years ago, when you could have a page. sign or a book that has writings in it.

Don't think there's any use of it for single player, but I'll give a thumb up for the idea.
Nicely done <3

@FireMario, do you have an english keyboard layout? If not, you might have to enter the '#' into the paste textbox and then paste it in. I'm sorry that is so clunky, but Starbound is very selective in that regard. I'm hoping I'll find a better solution eventually.

@Akor, I can't use # for some reason.

I tried copy-pasting my book in...it was way too long. Even the first chapter said it needed 3000+ ingame paper. :( Still a good mod that i could have a lot of fun with though. Lot of potential here.

The funniest thing is that my starbound avatar is based off my book's main character, and it's written in first-person, so it almost felt like he was writing an autobiography

Oh okay. thank you!!
