Digital Storage

Digital Storage

A RimWorld mod that bridges the gap between low-tier information storage (bookshelves) and larger modded solutions. It adds a line of industrial-tier shelves that store far more books than a bookcase but still grant reading bonuses. If the buildings lose power, colonists can no longer add or remove items, and they stop providing any reading bonus.

Research

Project Cost Prerequisites Enables Digital Storage 700 Electricity (also requires Personal Computer if Generally More Research is installed) Microfilm Reader, Digitized Index Databases 1200 Digital Storage PawnPedia Terminal, Digital Ocean

Buildings

All digital storages hold books just as a vanilla bookcase does. Advanced ones can also increase reading bonus. They only function while powered. Building Size Capacity Power Reading bonus Materials Microfilm Reader 1x1 40 25 W standard 20 stuff (metallic/woody/stony), 25 steel, 1 component Digitized Index 1x2 80 50 W standard 50 stuff (metallic/woody/stony), 50 steel, 2 components PawnPedia Terminal 1x1 80 50 W 1.5x (maxes a room's reading bonus when full) 50 stuff (metallic/stony), 100 steel, 1 advanced component Digital Ocean 1x2 200 150 W standard 100 stuff (metallic/stony), 100 steel, 1 advanced component

Dependencies

• Harmony
• Adaptive Storage Framework
• (Optional) Generally More Research gates the research behind Personal Computer.
• (Optional) Research Papers - Makes the Research Server into a digital storage building, restoring the per-book room reading bonus to contained items.

Incompatibilities

Any mods that modify the reading bonus calculations of a room would clash with this mod, as I reimplement the reading bonus calculation to allow the shelves to still give normal per-book (or enhanced per-book) bonuses. Without this patch then each book would be worth signifigantly less reading bonus while in the modded shelves.
