What would happen if a scholar discovered every single topic?
« on: June 16, 2022, 03:31:12 pm »
I have a hermit with a no-aging syndrome who I've been allowing to do scholarly work for about 3 and a quarter centuries. When they discover every topic, what'll happen?

According to the wiki, your scholar should become a “sage” (possibly well before then).  Not sure about anything else, as I don’t think anyone has ever had a scholar discover every topic before…

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Already a sage, yeah. Wondering if they would stop researching or if they'd go 'round again or what

My guess is that they'd start writing full time if there's nothing left to research. Assuming, of course, writing material is available.

They just "Research!" it says. They are writing lots after I enabled everything in known info but that might just be the backlog-of-stuff-to-write-about mechanic I already observed when I ran out of quires.
