Finding crafting magazines after max lvl - bug or feature?

[stich196]

So, if you guys may already know, if you read all magazines for some perks - meaning you maxed them, you can still find those magazines in loot. If you look into progression.xml file, you can actually see, that there's a comment lines like this
<!-- Once harvesting tools crafting skill reaches 100, set the probability bonus of finding harvesting tool crafting skill magazines to 0 -->
in some perks, which are linked to the relevant magazines.
So, question is why it's not working or if it's intentional, why leave these lines there? Should it be reported as bug?

mabye it only affects teh bonus chance u get form skills to get certain magazines? still get a lot even tho its maxed

In config files they're indeed set probability chance. However not to 0, but to 1. Idk why though (literally one line above they say that they set it to 0) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I created a mod that removes magazines from loot if you maxed them and it works perfectly fine. That's why i'm confused.

"set the probability bonus of finding harvesting tool crafting skill magazines to 0 "

Only the bonus is set back to zero..There's still a chance the mags and books will drop, but now it's back to the initial base probability.

I'm a great cook in real life but every shop I go into is packed with cookbooks.
Same in the game.

Seriously though, just take them for what they are: Sellable materials.

If you're aiming for exp - it would be better just to read them. But yeah, another coin in backpack is also not so bad idea :D
