Adjusts materials for books and manuals based on descriptive text
In my experience driving handbooks are typically cheaply made paperbacks to allow for writing in worksheets and practice tests. "Antique Adornments" is half the weight of the books listed above it, despite being the same volume. I don't know how much stock you're putting on the in-game weights, but this seems to indicate a paperback. |
Summary
Bugfixes "Add hardcovers/binders to books where appropriate"
Purpose of change
Fixes #55166
Many books in the game are technically paperback and are treated as a pliable stack of papers that can be (presumably) rolled up and fit into any container given enough volume. Many of the books treated this way have descriptions that conflict with this behavior. A "thick hardbound copy" of a book or a field manual (presumably in a plastic ring binder) should not be treated the same as a glossy magazine or small handbook.
Describe the solution
I've added a cardboard material to many books that are likely to be or explicitly described as hardcovers. I've also added the plastic tag to things likely to be in plastic ring binders such as larger collections of lab notes and military field manuals. I have taken some liberty in adding the cardboard material to books described as being thick or exhaustive despite not being able to affirm whether or not they would be hardcopies as it has the intended effect of limiting the pliability of the book without doing so in a way that doesn't make sense to the player.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Change the way that the paper material is handled when storing items in containers so that large paper items (such as textbooks) are treated differently from small, pliable handbooks and notes based on volume or weight.
The particular items that I've chosen to add the cardboard tag to were based on my own intuition, and the associated item descriptions. I'm open to any feedback regarding these changes.
Testing
Spawned one of the affected books, tried [i]nserting it into a water bottle and could no longer do so.
Additional context
My search history is really suspicious at the moment.
