Oh, and could I make a request? Could you guys implement some way to read books that you have all the skill level ups from, but not all the recipes from, continuously? It's REALLY annoying to have to push "R, @, Y" over and over and over to learn recipes, when before he would just keep reading nonstop.
Some books have stuff you just can't make even with that book's skill level (either from required secondary skills or it's just above the book's level). It seems like you do have a 100% chance to learn a recipe if you craft it using the book as a guide, if that helps.
I know that, I'm talking specifically about when there are recipes you CAN learn at your skill level, but have completed the level ups from the book. Then its just a grindfest of "mash these buttons in order over and over till you learn something"
Also GODDAMMIT, I just lost Mr. Lane Green, the farmer who I was having an AMAZING game with. Granted I didn't actually get to do any farming with him, but he was just so fucking lucky with drops. Immediately found a fucking treasure horde in the evac shelter basement (along with two zombies, but they were easy) and just about started with a screwdriver and wrench, found a jack in a car and shit just kept rolling from there.
He ended up dying to a Zombear because I didn't just pull out my Glock like I should have, and instead opted to try training my melee with that war hammer he picked up from the pawn shop.
At the end he had like 7 cooking and tailoring, along with 4 fabrication, 3 electronics/mechanics/melee and just overall good skills, and the previously mentioned shitton of awesome lootz.
