- All books work like normal books regarding bookshelves, acting as quest rewards, etc, but colonists will NOT auto-read them.
- A new quest to raid ancient ruined libraries to acquire the new books.
- A new furniture building, the plinth, to display your favourite books and give x10 Beauty.
- Anomaly, Royalty, Ideology and VE Cooking add new books, for a total of 24.

FAQ

Q: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save? Can I remove the mod?
A: You can add it whenever. You can't remove mods from a save and expect it not no be messed up.

Q: Does this need Biotech DLC, Alpha Animals / Biomes / etc
A: No

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: Compatibility with CE is handled on their end

Q: Will colonists auto-read these?
A: No, as they are all single use. Think of them as readable potions. Actually, don't, that sounds really stupid...

Q: Reeee this is bloat! I like my things that add things to add less things to the thing!!!
A: The thing wants things added to the thing. Sorry, out of my control.

Why don't you caravan with the book and use it in situ?
Twilight 20 Jan @ 4:42pm 
Any chance you could reconsider the duration of the hermetic mysteries? Feels pretty short for for the effect having to caravan out to the site and clear the area to pop the crates.
