Hello, thank you very much for your mod — I use it on my server and I believe it is also widely used in multiplayer.

As an administrator, I’d like to suggest an improvement that could greatly help server admins in monitoring possible bugs:

Currently, when a player reads the newspaper, a log of that action is registered. However, when the player writes in the newspaper, this action is not logged. This makes verification difficult, since we only notice it when the newspaper is empty.

If it were possible to generate a log indicating that the player wrote in the newspaper, it would be very useful. That way:

If the log exists, we’ll know that the player really wrote;

If it doesn’t exist, we’ll be sure the action was not performed, without needing to manually check whether XP was gained or not from the newspaper.

It would be a simple improvement, but one that would greatly help server administration.

Thanks again for the mod, and I wish you a great week!

Might not be a bug, there's a few nuances to how XP works and what the mod does.

There's a FAQ that covers what bonus XP is, and other things. There's also mods that award bonus XP flatly which causes issues too.

How do I fix the bug where some people on my server don’t recover all of their skills? Even though the mod is active, out of 10 people there are 1 or 2 who don’t get all of their skills back.

To make leather strips you need scissors, yes.

Some mods that alter XP rates do so in a way that conflicts with the vanilla method.

It's hard to say that is what you're seeing though.

Is it normal to lose experience?
On the server, when we level up a skill (carpentry, tailoring, first aid, etc.) to 10, we write it in the book. When we die and read it, most people stay at level 8 or so. We don't use profession boosters or perks, just the books.

Are you sure the mod is active?

Hi, I cannot seem to find the option to create one in the crafting menu even when I have all the materials, any idea why?
Used to work just fine for me before the update for b42

Have you updated your server's system files yet?

still fail to download:(

For B41: I re-added the old decayed item itself -this *should* fix the issue with people still having decayed journals around (somehow).

This is an advanced feature, you'd have to find the key in the mod you'd like to support. Whatever string the target mod adds to the modData for the player.

I`m sorry to bother u, where can i found table-key?

Update your system files on your server.

Still fail to download:(

The [B41/B42] Toughness Skill mod is working, but I’ve noticed it takes much longer to load compared to other mods. I’m not sure why, but I’m leaving this observation here.

So, what I've been saying. 😅

For those of you having similar issues, tl;dr dedicated servers failing to update or download this mod or others in the workshop, Force an update of SteamCMD on the server side. Been struggling with this for a few days with this specific mod and a few others that have updated recently.

If that's true then I would not know why Steam is failing to download the mod. Sorry.

Self hosted by a friend using pterodactyl panel, game files and mods update automatically upon reboot, with daily reboots. It's dedicated.

If that's the main table-key lifestyles uses, yes.

It`s from Lifestyle .lua

When I want to Ambitions in "lifestyle" mod, player:getModData().Ambitions can work?

And how are you hosting the game? Through a service provider? When was the last time the files for hosting have been updated?

This is what it says before the server shuts off because of the error.

And there's no errors in your log other than "failing to update/download"?

The only mod that is currently failing to update is this one in particular, I am not having issues with any of the other mods I use. If I take this one out it works perfectly fine.

If you mean the download issue, there seems to be lingering issue for some people.

Last month there was an update to the SDK for steam that broke any server's ability to update mods. It was fixed around the start or right before this month.

When was the last time a mod was updated on your server? Are you having issues with all mods or just some?

It is steam not sending the item, could you possibly make a small change to get the mod to send back out from your end?

Sounds like a steam issue. There was a huge issue with steamSDK a month ago.

If this is something you didn't experience then, you may be using out dated server files.

I have the same problem, i cant start my server with this mod since the update

Looks like the mod is broken for servers? Crashes server when it tries updating, seems to be timing out when watching the console.

Also for what it's worth, those two issues sound very different.

Are there any errors? I did not change the B41 branch.

No, not illiterate and I've tried every pen and a pencil. My friend's character can't get it to transcribe either.

@Ketepas - I don't know why steam/PZ is failing to download the mod.

Colts, of you have a pencil (or other writing tool) then maybe your character is illiterate?

i cant start my server with this mod, DownloadiPending in console.

Any idea on why the transcribe isn't working for me? I just got bitten and I want to get this working before it's too late lol

Make sure your server install is up to date?

ever since the update I'm unable to start the server due to download issues - LOG : General , 1755378501990> 1,228,160,968> Workshop: item state DownloadPending -> Fail ID=2503622437. Works without the mod. Full uninstall reinstall still broken. Any ideas?

I don't think has to do with this mod, but sorry it's happening. The B41 version was not touched.

Every time we try to start our B41 server up to play multiplayer. This is what happens so to me this is broken because it's been almost two days and I don't think it's workshop not downloading right at this point. It was fine until the update which is why I said I might have to wait until we do a B42 server.

Yes, I can craft the journal, but when right clicking it the option to transcribe doesn't appear.

@colts - Are you sure the mod is enabled? It should appear in the mod menu.

I fxied the German Language file, so it appears correctly. B41 only tho cause I don't play on B42 yet and see no files I guess? {LÄNK BORTTAGEN}https://mega.nz/folder/7ShTgJCK#DQ7ZSyBqv8xPWi6DBA_VMg

I'm having an issue where the option to transcribe into the journal doesn't show up for some reason, we have the journal and the needed writing utensils. Playing multiplayer with a friend hosting, we've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod but have had no luck.
