Life & Living Compensation

Description
This mod provides an additional item to the game called a Life & Living TV Magazine that updates with the most recent Life & Living Channel shows that have aired. Essentially, this mod provides the XP that would have been granted to a player that has missed out on the life and living tv show. However, this benefit only works once per character per account meaning that you can't read another player's magazine to receive double the benefits.

You cannot continually die over and over in hopes of getting multiple magazines to share. Multipliers from reading books will be applied as well as any benefits from the Sandbox XP Multiplier and Fast/Slow Learner traits chosen at character creation. I figured I would create this mod since it seems like you could start in a server that is well past the tv broadcast schedule and now you can't get any benefit from that.

It will not provide any of the XP for the current day if you create your character on a day where Life & Living TV Shows have broadcast, it only recoups past days.

You can customize the percent of XP granted by this mod utilizing the LIfe & Living Compensation Tab when creating your server. The percentage is calculated based on 100% = 100

Disclaimer: I do not guarantee this mod will work with any other mods.

You are welcome!

Cool, thank you! :)

@Mickmane if you die, the next character should receive the magazine with an amount of XP equivalent as if you had watched all the shows. it checks to see upon character creation if your character has missed any of the shows

I'm confused.

Hosting my own world (multiplayer, but playing alone right now). New world, new char. What if the character dies and I make the next one to play on on the same world. Can he use the previous char's magazine, or make/find his own to read to catch up on missed shows?

Been looking for a mod that gives me access to TV shows way past their schedule time, hoping for a mod that has VHS tapes of it, but found this, and it looks useful. :)

Ah, i don't think you need the rain collector recipe in order to make them. You just need Carpentry 4, as far as I know, there are no recipes from the TV Show, the VHS Tapes however contain recipes.

does this give recipes from life in living cus i just dont want to miss out on things like rain collectors

@halfcatman1 the big problem is unlike other books, this provides solid XP. maybe with MP it wouldn't be a big deal, but on SP you could just create characters to get a 3-4 of these and max out your skills pretty quickly with multipliers.

i feel like this shouldn't be per account, but only per character, because its kinda lame how its meant to be something for if you missed life and living, but you can only do it on one character, so if you die, you lose anything from that, despite the fact all other books work the same regardless of character

Ah I didn't realize that about subsequent characters on the same account. That may be the issue, or like you said another mod conflict. The way I was testing was start on default day/time and die/make a new character once some shows have aired.

Nonetheless I made a decent carpenter build and my friend and I got a lot of VHS tapes so it's not a huge deal. Thanks for your responses!

@JUDGE so, i did some of my own testing. i created a multiplayer game with only my Life & Living Compensation mod installed. i fast forwarded through 8 days utilizing admin commands, and I instantly gained all the levels that were expected. Now, one thing to note, this doesn't work if you have created multiple characters under the same account, it only works on the very first one you create. Aside from that, I am not sure what may be causing it to fail, perhaps another mod conflict is my guess.
