Platform Books

yeah just gave this mod a shot, and the books are still broke.
I put some (platform collision books) up on a copper shelf, went far off screen, came back, and they were gone...
Anyone know if there's a fix out there for this?

cool, thanks. will do

I haven't played Starbound for several years, so I wouldn't know firsthand. If you find that they do, feel free to let me know.

lol, okay, np. But you still didn't answer my question. Do you know if your 'platform' books tend to disappear off of furniture and shelves when the player leaves the area for any extended length of time, like the vanilla 'pile of books' blocks?

Any weird behavior is due to the mechanics of the base game and I'm not aware of anything I can do about it.

ah okay. Thx.
I'm gonna give it a shot.
Oh, does it prevent books from disappearing off shelves and furniture?

Correct, the same collision as platforms have.

Installing this doesn't need a world/character restart, but UNinstalling it does. As, if I recall correctly, it adds a recipe for the new block and can't be easily removed. (Without code know-how and manually getting rid of every instance of the block that exists in the world[s].)

and platform collision is where the player and npcs, etc, can move through them as though they're background objects, and jump on them as though they're furniture or foreground blocks?
Also, just to clarify, does this need a total game+character restart?
I might be interested if it doesn't... looks interesting... especially if my books will stop disappearing off my shelves

Any weird behavior of the platform books is caused by how the base game does stuff. All this mod does is add a book tile that has platform collision.

also do the books still disappear if they're on anything other than the ground or a platform?
I noticed books will disappear if placed on shelves, etc. (as have many others)
