Do Bookshelves Stack?

[StoryTaleBooks]

I built a room for 15 developers and put around 40 bookshelves in it to boost all of their skills. Does that make a difference or will the game only count the skill increase by 1 bookshelf? Are the other 39 just decoration?

[Harag]

I believe they are just decoration after the first one, but other types stack with the shelf, but again only the first one....

Or it was like that a couple of versions ago when I was doing some testing. not played A11 yet.

Can anyone answer this question: Do Bookshelves Stack?
Or any other furnitures/decorations?

[Harag]

No you can't put 10 shelves in the same room, they don't stack, but you can put a different item in the room.

Thank you!

Just one is required the room should be 400 lux, 200 environment.

Yes I now, but the other tings. My rooms now has:

Effectiveness: +30%
Skill: +25%
Mood: 25%

How do you get Effectiveness +30%? I can only get 15% (Bookshelf and Clock).

I'm pretty sure you can't anymore. Someone was saying that the developer patched that out. You were only ever meant to get the benefits of one such boost at a time. One clock, one bookshelf, etc. To make that happen, there is now a cap on the bonus for each room.

However, where adding multiples does benefit you is when you have penalty from something else. For example, if you have a couch that lowers effectiveness, then an extra bookshelf or a TV might help to get back up to that same cap.

It depends on the room size. If the rooms is large enough you might have to place two or more clocks / book shelfs to hit the cap (Effectiveness +15%, Skill + 25%)

Depends on the room size. It will stack a little if the room is big. It is better to place many items to stack. Max is 25 25 25. A room with 400 Lux will not be max soothing. The best area for soothing is around 285. I use floor lights that help. Peeps do not care about windows and they have zero boost.

Wow the community in this game are so helpful, most other games if a topic 3.5 years old was replied to they would have been told all sorts of nasty stuff. :)
