Something which might be confusing in your video on scrolls is that you can make them without a quire or book binding first in the process (and they don't need thread). Once you're pressed into a paper sheet, you just make rock scroll rollers then Make Scroll. i always thought this was a little less confusing than Codexes to make

One thing you didn't mention but is very important is that binding books is actually completely bugged. Once the quire is bound into a book it destroys all the values the quire had and will list it as being a "one page manual" no matter what, and make it worth far less. It's been that way since at least 2015 unfortunately and never got fixed.

There aren't many youtubers who can provide such a detailed explanation in such a small amount of time. Thank you!

What you mentioned about one-page books is actually a bug mentioned by @Greatot
Once dwarf writes on a quire, bookbinder will bind it into a book. Sadly it looses most material properties during process, including length.

This is why it's currently better to use scrolls.

Thank you for the graph, ik it's on the wiki but still, it's nice it's mentioned and shown in the video

I think Dabu & Simon Swerwer need to do a Library centric tune for DF. I always imagine something like a DF-esque adaptation of Julian Smith's "I'm Reading a Book"

Thanks. This was the 3rd video on this topic that I watched. This one finally helped me understand the process. Thanks.

If you want to focus on a library early on, I suggest embarking with at least one dwarf with the writer skill. Also, I will set my worldgen for 250 years, but stop after I see 3 books appear in the history, which is usually around year 150-160. The formula seems to involve the age of the world, and 100 years isn't enough, even if you have scholars with writer skills and paper; after 3 books are written in the worldgen, I usually have an easier time getting them to write. Also, having around 4 scholars and at least 20 tables seems to help (in the library, but also plenty more in a dining hall). The tables are because dwarves will look for an empty table in the library when they want to write, and if all the tables are occupied, they seem to give up on writing. And four scholars is because it takes a while for each individual dwarf to write, so if you want 2-3 books in the first year, you should only start your library when you can afford to devote several dwarves to scholarship. Oh, and I generally have 50 quires at that point, because like tables, having more than too many seems to up the chances of them writing. Like I said, 50 quires, 4 scholars 20-30 tables and chairs, and starting after 3 books (entries are purple in worldgen, for easy reference) appear in world generation, and I have no problem getting a few books per year. Of course, adding more of each of these factors increases your chances of success, with the exception of the age of the world- there is a sweet spot there. Too old, and your dwarves won't write their own books, because someone else already wrote on the subject. That might be fine if you would rather collect and trade for books rather than author them, but if you want to have your dwarves be the ones writing the majority of the world's books, then what I describe seems to work best.

I started a fort in year 5 of my world history, got ready to make a huge library, but none of my dwarves want to actually write... I feel like the age of the world and the existence of other books plays a big part in writing books too, since in my other fort in year 250+, they ARE doing nothing but write. i am really curious what actually makes dwarves write books in the code! great video :D

7:30 Any functional difference between Books and Scrolls? Judging by your flowchart, Scrolls are *far* easier to make.

I had a weird bug(?) where windmills produce no power.

Have a weird bug that my dwarves can’t make anything out of cloth because it says there is non. Except that I have around 200 cloth, all in bins in my main stockpile. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Do bins bug out a lot?

❤ A dwarven mega library fort sounds nice.

What's the difference between a book and a scroll?

Don't use codices (books), use scrolls instead. They're a lot simpler and not bugged. I hope one day the quire binding into a book bug will be fixed, because I like it for the variety.

What are the general titles or the name for this forts videos? Looks like a cool one to sit through the vods for!

So do you need multiple pages for a book? or can you make 1 piece of paper, quire, they write stuff, bind book? Just wondering if books need 'x' amount of pages before they can be made otherwise is it just a scroll?

You should have mentioned that the likelyhood of writing a book is highly dependent on their interest and linguistic ability. Low ability means less books
