Arithmechick's Speed Reading

Description
Description
Adds a sandbox option to adjust reading speed of skill books by any value up to 100x.

Known Issues
Books that have already been discovered in the world are NOT affected by this mod. This is because the mod works by reducing the number of pages in the skill books. Any books that have already been discovered in the world will still have the vanilla page count. I'm currently working on a fix that will apply the modified page reduction to all books on existing saves.

@Plague Dr - You don't need a reading mod for servers. You should be able to set reading speed directly in most server configs. So go ahead, and adjust that to whatever pace you prefer

Has anyone been able to get this mod to work on hosted servers? I've loaded up the mod into the server through the menu but when I load into the server this mod is not working the way it is supposed to.
Thanks for help and comments ahead of time,
:steamthumbsup:

Haven't used this in a while, so I checked the comments to see what I previously wrote:

"Having this set at 20.0 seems a fair level IMO" - I gotta say, I disagree with my past self here. The default settings are 2 min per page. Apparently the average person IRL reads at 1.7 mins per page, so I'm guessing this is loosely based on that.

Still seems slow to me. Takes about 20-30 secs to speed read a page (personally) and about twice that at a slower pace. So x2 would make my char read at my own pace. x20 would effectively be 1 page per second in game XD

(I know this mod reduces the tome's page size, so it's kinda a moot point, but yeah)

Does not work for me. This mod is loaded last but changing to 100 has no effect. Other speed reading mods also stopped working, don't know why.

fucked up and wrote 0.5 and now my books have +1000 pages

@_nxteboi Are you on an existing save by chance? The mod only affects books that are discovered after the it is installed. I'm currently working on a solution that will also work on existing books.
