Awesome! Thank you so much for the news!

I have already updated the code to work for 1.6 and ran some quick tests.
I thought I would rewrite the priority system, add support for Anomaly books and quest chances that were added with Odyssey. Reading length also needs tuning, or maybe it should be made dynamic, for day longer work time means less walking to pick up books, but then sleep schedule comes and pawn is still reading 2h later (which is actually realistic XD).
But I can release it early if there is demand, reading and priority work ok. Other changes will have to wait as I am in the middle of writing another mod right now.
Now I'm wasting stupid amount of time on front stuff like name and description. It needs to be changed as books are vanilla now and I dont need Vanilla Books Expanded dependency.
It will be released as a new workshop item, as steam does not support different dependencies for different versions.

Any chance for a 1.6?

No of course it doesn't work for 1.5 because Vanilla books Expanded doesn't have books anymore
Books are a base game feature now, and, VBE just expands on them by adding book writing

dont work with 1.5. :-(

1.5 please :)

hey, will they still read the books as recreation sometimes?

does this work for 1.5?

@Sander YOU ARE SO KIND!!
thank you very much!!

@ tanyfilina yes, once they are older than 7 and have passion for that skill
@ The Ghost of Kyiv there is now

Will children learn from books?

oh, you mod made we GET books, so i didnt know lol

Hi, is there a way to remove the 3k limit?

@Richard Im not sure I understand
Pawns already read books only up to lvl allowed by book quality, thats from VBE
So if shooting book is normal, max lvl from that book is 8, good is 10, etc
If you are asking per day, then pawns wont start another reading job if skill xp for that day is above 3k, as they have only 20% learning efficiency when going above 4k
If you want pawns to stop learning after they got skill to some other level than book max, then it is not possible now, but should be easy to implement

do they stop reading a specific book at a certain point?
for instance could i use this mod to get my people up to level 9-10 only to allow them to get into work, but not have to micromanage them grabbing books they done did already?

@Izk- Looks possible, but it may take some time, Ive never looked into compat patches before
@ggfirst disabling main feature feels wrong, but sure, whatever. In the meantime you can unassign pawns from bookworks. Or backup your save, delete 1.4/Defs/WorkGivers.xml file from my mod folder, then enable dev mode and look for errors or pawns standing still.

nice mod! could you add support for ideo book in Vanilla Books Expanded Expanded (for pawn with different ideo from the primary ideo of the colony)?

This mod is amazing, thank you!

nice, have been wondering why my pawn walk 30 tile away looking for a chair when there is a chair beside the booksheld

do you mind adding a config option to disable the workgiver for learning from books?
because I just need the funtion to replace the VBE chair selection
thanks for great mod.

the workgiver is great too :3

oh gosh, the NO THRONES OR TOILETS is an instant subscribe for me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FINALLY
A WAY TO EXCLUDE TOILETS

Nice dude
