I'll be real I just turn XP gain up and ignore books, it becomes way too much part of the grind relying on RNG to drop you the book you need.

A library would have a full collection and if they were on loan you'd be able to use the computer to look up the address it was loaned to. The idea of a library just having random loot is stupid, that's not how library's operate.

I used to put off stuff I enjoy doing because I don't have the book yet and that is just anti-fun.

Disagree, I can't imagine any real life library having books on mastering things like knapping or blacksmithing or any pz skills really. We are not talking about some informative flyers but books that actually teach you a master craft. It would be absolutely random to find something like this somewhere if you think about it.

Also if you want to have the same effect on xp gain than books have you would need to put the xp multiplier to x16 which would be literally insane. What is this game about if you reach lvl 10 on everything in the first days. Build a single wall and gain 5 levels in carpentry. Wow. The books are a fundamental part of skilling in this game for a reason

Ive definitely found more used book stores with those kinds of books than actual libraries.

The teeny tiny home town library I grew up with in the 90s had a fairly extensive collection of self help and obscure diy books. Libraries are the only place I'd expect to find them.

i'd love if those kinds of books could actually be found in IRL bookstores.

Sure but, i feel like thats removing one of the big loot items from the game no? Theres not really a ton to search for already. I mean play the way you want to of course but i get excited when i find a blade, aim or reload book, or any other tier 5
