You can increase max capacity of books and toys by dismantling and rebuilding their respective containers. This glitch alows you to rise Intellegence and Charisma extremely quickly.

Hello again Sonic16,


Thanks for reporting this.
I've just tried deconstructing a few bookshelves and everything seems to be working as expected.
Could you please get back in touch with more information about what you're doing and what the effect is?
If possible, a video would be really useful.


Thank you,

Let’s say I've scavenged 17 books and have build a bookshelf. I’ll have 7 extra book in my inventory which will disappear after a restart. So my bookshelf is full. Without restarting the game when i dismantle it and then rebuild it, the shown amount of book will became 17 and the bookshelf won’t be full anymore. Book limit just went from 10 to 20. The amount of EXP gained is also increased.
Here is my bookshelf with 100 books.

It takes no time to max out INT and CHA for any survivor using it.
Same thing applies for toy box and jukebox.

Hey again Sonic16,


Thanks for getting back with this information. I completely understand what you're taking about now.
It seems like every time you construct a new bookshelf, the game thinks you're constructing 'another' one. This will combine the capacity of all the bookshelves it thinks you have, in the same way that all storage is combined.

I've passed this on to the team for investigation.
In the meantime, enjoy having super intelligent survivors.


Thank you,
