Summary
Balance "Tweak Wind Turbine Recipe Learning"
Purpose of change
Both the Wind Turbine and Large Wind Turbine were autolearned recipes that also could be learned from books. However, learning from books ALL required that your skill level be so high you would have already autolearned the recipes. This means you will never learn them from the books, which is not very dynamic or probably how it should be.
Describe the solution
Okay, so I removed books entirely from the wind turbine – lowering the book levels to below the autolearn levels makes no sense as 2 of the 3 can’t even be read at that skill level, and whats a transistor probably shouldn’t even have these recipes. So, removed the books from wind turbine. TLDR: nothing changed about how this behaves in game currently
Large wind turbine has more play to it, I have lowered the book recipe autolearn levels to level 4 (it’s autolearned at level 5). This makes all the books viable for learning this recipe a level early, giving them value once again. I debated removing what’s a transistor from this list entirely, because most likely it would be more difficult to learn from that book and I can't implement that, but ultimately chose to leave it because I don’t know whatever, someone thought it was appropriate before.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I debated removing both from Whats a Transistor, because that’s a pretty basic ass book to be making big turbines, but whatever I left it. I also considered removing it from all books and just having the large turbine also be autolearned, but I like this better, because it brings more value to those books while still being balanced and reasonable.
Testing
Basically just checked in the game that they were showing/not showing in the books appropriately.
Additional context
Is this even worth it? There's a lot of recipes like this, that are autolearned early, reducing the value of their books. Erk made an issue about gradual learning/research/however we'd phrase that instead of just poof you autolearned 4 dozen recipes because you gained a level. Should I not be bothering until something like that was implemented or should I try to hit these as I spot them?
