Description:
This mod increases the number of words learnt by Knowledge Stones and Encyclopedias (inside those cabin things) to a certain number. I made this to speed up the learning process but still have to grind to find stones. This does not affect Monoliths and talking to people, asking them for knowledge as I don't know how to change that. But this should suffice your yearning to understand others. I'd like to thank the creator of this mod as it helped with figuring this stuff out (referenced their de-compiled .pak file).

Due to particular demand from users, there are different kinds of versions of the mod, depending on how easier you'd like your playthrough to be.

Learn More Words (3/5/10/20 Words):
This is the standard type, with 10 being the default for Vortex.

Learn More Words Multiple Faction Languages (5/10/20/Complete Words):
With this version, when interacting with knowledge stones, you get N amount of words per language. Complete is a once-only version, meaning that you only need to activate a stone once.

NMS has changed their language system so that derived words are also learnt, meaning that more than what was specified in the mod can be learnt. For example, learning "trade" will also make you learn "trader", "trading", etc. It is also harder now to determine words learnt since they removed the counter in-game for it AFAIK.

Installation:
Installing mods can be done by navigating to "~\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS".
Delete or rename the "DISABLEMODS.txt" to something else and create a folder "MODS". You can then place the .pak file in that folder, and you're set!

Updating:
I have created a .lua file that is available in the files tab which you can use in AMUMSS to generate the .pak file for merging with other mods, if you prefer a different amount of words learnt, or if you want to extend functionality to the mod.

Compatibility:

Compatibility only has problems if they use the "REWARDTABLE.MBIN" file. Unless you want to merge the mods together.
