Non-Consumable Reading Materials

[Bullet_Magnate]

Having books and magazines disappear after reading doesn't seem to make much sense for non-Klingon survivors.  I hate losing their value as fuel / tinder.  

 

Would it be possible to give them a long cooldown instead (so the same magazine / book can't be used for boredom / stress reduction for a long time) ?

Good idea. Yes it is not realistic that some stuff like literature disapear after use.

Maybe I misunderstand but what do you mean by "disappearing after reading"? Neither magazines nor books do that.

Newspaper, comics, books after use disapear. Every literarure that repair ur mental health is a consumable item.

If dont know that open Wiki.

Yeah I have noticed this as well, its also weird how skill books have no effect on your mood. Are you telling me that a chef isn't going to enjoy reading a cooking mag or cook book? Or a park ranger would not want to read a book on foraging? I think we should get mood buffs from reading skill materials that boost skills we have related professions or traits for.

This is a really cool idea.  It makes a lot more sense for these things to have long cooldowns, or maybe even differentiate crosswords and magazines.  Crosswords would be "used" because your character would fill them out, but for a thing like a magazine I think it would be cool for it to have a base boredom reduction that is lowered after reading it and it slowly regains.  Like you can go through a magazine multiple times but you get less out of it each time.  Then eventually if you wait long enough it will return to its base boredom reduction.  idk though, seems kinda complicated for just a magazine mechanic.
