Hi, I don't know if it's because of an error in my game or something, but it doesn't give me the new trait by changing a negative one :( it only removes it but nothing more

will you expand on doing the "more traits" mod? as like a sub mod or anything? theres a lot of cool traits in there which would be a great addition

@PhilosophyGaming I believe skill recovery journal only saves your experience in skills and not the traits themselves.

Do you know if the Skill Recovery Journal mod will retain traits gained as well?

awesome mod feels like organic/lore friendly way of upgrading your character has you still have to find them and they take time to read

Yes @ LionelCG you have to read/find it twice... came on here to note that in-case you do don't read one while the other is also in your inventory! Just got rid of slow-learner & had a 2nd magazine to try & gain fast-learner but finishing one magazine "ate" both. Will debug my 2nd copy but if your in this situation just leave the 2nd copy on shelf till you're done with the other.

How does this work? If I set the setting to loose the negative trait only, do I have to find the same magazine twice to gain the positive trait? Does anyone know?

Hola, se puede configurar en un servidor local? No me sale la opcion en sandbox

this is one of my favourites tbh.

not 100% sure but I've searched like 20 gas stations, all schools in west point taylorsville, muldarugh and rosewood, all the books stores in in those cities and like over 200 houses and i still have not found the book "art of speed reading"...

@Ruute
@Fred
Go to 108600\3342191739\mods\GydeTraitMagazines\42\media and open up sandbox-options.txt. In option GydeTraitMags.SpawnRate modify the default value to lower than 0.1, and I think that will work. Just make sure to select the Default option in the sandbox settings so you can use your desired value.

doesn't working, showing error when magazine is used

agreed with Ruute, very common and becomes overpowered

I'm finding that these magazines are still too common on the lowest spawn rate in the sandbox options. Is there any way to set it even lower? I'm feeling pretty overpowered by the amount that spawn.

more traits please🙏

I had to hotfix my modpack cause your mod causes 69420 issues broken mod. Spent 3 hours looking whats wrong. Fix your mod 3 hours i could have spent trying to sleep

Lmao, @𝕭

As an infected burger eating american, I was making a reference to the classic TV show catchphrase from"Iron Chef", in which contestants cooked with odd (non-american) ingredients. The french gave us fries and a cool statue, can't be too mad at them.

IDK what a 1091 is, I assume some sort of military division, but it's a strong title.

Excellent ideas, for Brave: "101 tips from 1091 Veterans"

But, Jeeze, Iron Gut being French tho?
I know our French friends eat buttered garden pests as a delicacy are famous for their stank-bum cheddar imitations, and also their breakfast is bread named solely for it's shape... but I don't think we're supposed to say that out loud. As a polite civilisation.
As an Englishman, who is genetically obligated to torment the French - it's not unlike dealing with one's younger siblings. We can be mean to the French, but nobody else can.

Let's call it "Cuisson Basse: Hákarl and Marmite on Chips"
(Entire comment is fun)

bruh read the description

does this work on a already created world?

Yeap more traits please 👇

@Gyde, great mod for long playthrough, thanks!

Please add the rest of the unique traits tho, my OCD is triggered.
I'd be happy to do the Textures + Icons to your liking, just add me! : )

=Jobs=
Park Ranger - Unsure if this one can be added since it doesn't show up in traits
Engineer- Same, but there is already a mod which adds these recipes so its OK
Desensitized - Could probably be added but there is a mod for this already

Night Owl: "REM & The Art of Napping"
- If you only added one, I'd hope it'd be this one.

=Traits=
Brave: No idea what this one would be called, but we have a mod for it already

Cat's Eyes: "The Hunt for Orange July"
Wakeful: "Coldbrews & You"
Iron Gut: "Allez! Cuisine!"
Light Eater: "Asceticism for Dummies"
Lucky: "Making Your Own Luck"
Resilient: "Gardening With Gut Flora"
Eagle Eyed: "Birding Quarterly"
Fast Healer: "Mind Over Matter"
Low Thirst: "Got Electrolytes?"
Adrenaline Junkie: "Daredevil's Greatest Stunts"
Thick Skinned: "On Sticks and Stones"

work with dynamic traits?

ye

dose it still work in build 41?

I am under the assumption that adding in the traits would correctly also add in the search radius, darkness, and search find RNG increases? If so, I think that it is worthwhile to add in magazines for traits like Former Scout, Gardener, Herbalist, Hiker, Hunter, Keen Cook, Lucky, and Hunter.

I am not sure if Cat Eyes or Eagle Eyes makes sense, but sense you already have Keen Hearing then those 2 being rare magazines could make sense. Like "Optometrists Guide To Healthy Vision" or something like that.

I think that this way, you could tweak the magazine find RNG chances much better, and have a more varied character runs. This would give a nice form of character progression/upgrades to accent a No Occupation character and give the game a more Roguelike feel.

Is it possible that you can remove a negative trait with a magazine and add the positive trait, if you find e second magazine?
I don't like going from negative trait INSTANTLY to the positive with one magazine. Or am I misunderstanding this and it works this way? good mod tho :)

Can you add the Engineer trait? Currently some recipes are only available with that.

@Gyde sorry yes, you're right 100%

@Il Mazzulatoro You may be confusing it with the Organized trait which gives 130% capacity to all containers. Dextrous just mainly increases inventory transfer speed.

@Beathoven Yep, I saw it, thank you! I'll add it soon.

i have added german translation in the translations discussion

@Cosmic Cocoa I don't think so, it looks like Simple Overhaul changes the vanilla traits so I would assume it doesn't work.

Hey Gyde, this looks awesome!
Couldn't find anything in the description-
Does this possibly work with Simple Overhaul?

Genuinely such a good mod. Love the update that allows for them to be a consumable too.

@ram Do you mean when reading the magazine? Reading the Handy magazine will not give skill XP, only the trait.

@Beathoven Unfortunately, I believe book pages are fixed and cannot be changed in-game after setting them. It's not really the same thing but you could set the days before reading to a higher number in the sandbox options.

Any chance you could add a page multiplier to sandbox options? Would be great if you could set the page count up so you acutally have to read for a week to learn them. finishing multiple traits in a day doesnt feel right to me. Still great Mod.

handy doesn't do what the perk does when given in character creation it doesn't add the skill bonus

PTBR UFT-8

Oh yeah my bad, forgot to add it after updating.

I might also suggest you add the B42 tag to this mod in Steam, however that works

@NopOYes Yes it worked for me with build 42

compatible with B42?

@Niner Skirata Hmm, it could either be that they are too rare on your server, or another mod might be affecting it. Could you try on a new server with only this mod enabled and with the spawn rate set to highest? If you know how to use the debug tools you can use LootZed to properly check the spawn rates and if they exist.

@Gyde when I local host they dont spawn ;( Do I need to set it up beside the Mod list ?

@Loccatpowersdog Yes, that was what I discussed sorry if there was any confusion.

Before this mod's update today, the magazines did not have a consumable option, so they are not deleted after being read, making the 2 step from -1 to 0 to +1 unnecessary. But since I added the option today to have magazines be consumable, I will likely make an option to have traits be 2 step.

Would the vanilla sandbox setting of media cooldown (which affects it granting you boredom reduction, etc... I suppose) make the consumable function in this way as it is now with consumable option? Or is that maybe possible in the future? Maybe with the new mod setting you could simply read them both back to back...

I believe what is being discussed is basically if say ya have Sunday Driver it could be set to need two copies of the mag to go from -1 to +1 aka have Speed Demon? [I've def had this very similar thought to myself since adding this mod over one(s) that had individual traits like only Nutritionist]

@Niner Skirata Yes!

@optprime.cpu Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately I don't think making a certain magazine spawn only after a few days is possible as from my understanding, item spawn rates are determined at the start of the game. I may add an option to make replacing negative traits with positive ones require 2 magazines though. (I didn't do it before since pre-consumable magazine update players could have just spammed the same magazine)

@̝̬̩͓̯̠̪ͦ͒̀ͫ̚ ͦ͒̚ Handy magazine does not give the skills attached, just the extra health to some constructions and faster building speed.

@Vermilion I have not tested personally but if they do not modify vanilla traits, it should work. Keep in mind though that depending on how ETW checks to add/remove traits, the traits you add/remove may be undone.

Both these questions have been added to an FAQ section since I get them quite often.

I like optprime's suggestion
