Yup. It works so well that you don’t even need the mod anymore. The generic “book” from b41 is gone and replaced with hundreds of names books, some real and some made up by the devs. As well as a newer paperback book style item, again with hundreds of real and made up titles.

Does this work for B42?

Thank you so much for your mod!! I'm very grateful to have more normal books filling out my world instead of just a bunch of skillbooks, only thing is I also wish you didn't eat the books like everyone else

If David Eddings isn't in this mod, he should be. His work is what made me want to be an author. :)

how about some manga~
Comic should at least have a formidable competition am i right?

agreed, we should have option not to make book disapear, after some months of acopalypse it's dumb that I can't read american psycho again when my leg is broken

Why am I eating the books? What if I wanted to keep that copy of American Psycho to read in a few weeks after enduring severe head trauma?

@Bodomy Yes.

Forgive me if this has been already asked, but do books dissapear after reading them?

@eukariya most likely not.
I see no reason why i'd be incompatible since it adds completely new items instead of modifying existing ones, but I could be wrong. I'll let you know if i test it!

Would this be incompatible with the named literature mod? Does something similar like this

Any interest into Spanish translation? Im offering...

Want to contribute, open up a issue report, or just need a alternative download link?
More Books is now on Codeberg!
Alternatively Github, but the main branch is on Codeberg.

@Evan look into the better literacy mod.

you should add the bible tbh

I saw someone else commented on this, but is there any way to make it take longer to read these?

it adds alot of good books and its easy to get rid of boredom now but man finding the generator magazine its like 70% harder now. im guessing the books overlay the magazine when they spawn in, ive been to the riverside high school library with no luck, next place was rosewood bookstore also no luck. last spot i tried was the bookstore on muldraugh and came in empty handed. looks like ill be spending a few more days in the dark but hey least i got good reading material

When you have the time (and the interest), could you please consider a similar mod but for Comic Books?

neat

fuck yeah i can read the communist manifesto in project zomboid

clever and good idea!

@Primaeval Just go into Debug mode if you want an easy time with free xp. That's an instant no from me.

Russian translation - Русский перевод https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2831730273

are books consumed when used? thats a thing that bugs me

What would be amazing if the books could also provide batch of skill xp.
So unlike "manuals" for job which give multiplier they would just grant say 1k xp in certain skill based on the book.

Love the idea, though I'd like to see some more stuff for role play like
a generic 'Bible' for religious characters
something by Edgar Cayce for the new-agers
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine for doctors
Sherlock Holmes for the intellectual
Mein Kampf for bad guys.

So far though, this is an incredible foundation and adds so much to the game already it's wild.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

no

Is this mod translated into Russian?

@Yggdrasil221 You can share if you'd like that'd be of help. We're relatively inexperienced with Lua and are learning so any help or pointers are appreciated, if you want you can add me on Discord east#0013, Steam, or just post it here.

Thanks a ton :)

and with this mod, i have found and subbed to all of these two modders' mods without realizing they were made by the same people. they're just cool mods. nicely done

I can share the improvements I made/help out, if you'd like :)

oohh yeah ill look into it :)

Oh, my bad, I didn't mean increasing the loot rate. I meant structuring the code like this:

for book=1, #books_to_register do
registerAsLoot(books_to_register[book], 0.2, "CrateBooks");
....
end

with a "for" loop, so you don't have to repeat the loot code over and over.

It might make it easier if you wanted to ever add more books, or add the books to more places.

@Yggdrasil221 You get a lot of books in libraries and more populated places.
but if I crank the value up it makes it feel like too many books and it gets repetitive when you keep finding books over and over, I personally prefer having to find the book i want.

hi! I'm a total book nerd and this mod is great!

I don't know if you're planning on adding more books, or feel like messing around with the source code at all, but have you considered setting up the loot table in a for loop? Might make it easier to maintain if you do plan on maintaining this for a while. /shrug

I'll check it out and make sure everything is in order.

it looks like the books take way too little time to read? I'm not sure if its this mod, but books are being read in 10 in game minutes, even with the slow reader trait. again, not sure if it's this mod

Yeah that moreVHS mod is good i was using it after i made that comment

@uogamer79 It's actually already been done before multiple times,
More Tapes By rientelfon and MoreVHS By alree_unjammer are ones that I found at a quick glance, although i have not used them personally and do not know if better options exist.

This is amazing and has definitely got me subbing, but do you think you can do a mod similar to this but with VHS tapes? And if you've already done a mod like this then I probably already subbed by the time you read this comment lol.

Thanks for the response anyway! I really appreciate your time.

I'm not taking requests atm, that might change but don't get your hopes up.

Great immersion mod, any chance you're taking requests/ideas? Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton, 1990.

@rays That would only work I think if they added languages to the game. The first 3 came out in Polish in 1990, 1992 and 1993. The rest all came out in Polish after that. None were released in English until 2007

Thank you, East & Balergus.

chinese?

nooooooooooo
I HATE TO READ BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKSSS!
THAT WASTE THE MOST TIME!(but that give me time to jerk off)
That give me brain pain.
XD

communism manifesto when?

Is there a The Witcher book already? If not, please add.
