About this mod

Suddenly, the wasteland seems even less forgiving... as all those precious skill books that were lying
around before aren't there no more - there's a lot less of them, and getting to them won't be easy.

around before aren't there no more - there's a lot less of them, and getting to them won't be easy.

-----------------------------
- Two sets of books available to players: Wasteland and "More Than Scrap" Sets
- Skillbooks now give 25 skill points, Comprehension doubles those points.

Duck and Cover! - Fort Constantine

Nexus Site Members & Admins - for letting me be a kid in a candy store with all the mods there are

Additional Notes
----------------
This mod was made with the intention of making the game a bit harder, but also reducing the amount of
skillbooks within the game altogether, hence its classification as a "cheat" mod.
Feel free to mod/improve, just give credit where it's due, please.
