Please allow us to queue more books to be produced in Bookbinder.
yeah.. no idea why BB won't just do it..
It's not like we'd make a ton more books by queuing them..
Having to login extra times for no other reason than to make a book is annoying.
But potentially financially rewarding for BB, so ...Quote:

Granted, I realize the entire science system seems geared toward people spending 1k+ gems after they realize books have impossibly long production times and there is no easy way to redo your specialist when you find out the path you were on sucked.
Improved bookbinder (2495gems) will allow you to do that. Scheduled for Spring 2018.
For people that only have a Lv 3 Bookbinder (because they are newer and don't have the resources, etc etc), you can only realistically make 1 book a day.
So for example, you login every morning to grab the book and start the next book.
Also, not everyone can login the exact moment a book is going to finish. So people with a Lv 5 Bookbinder, you queue a book and it'll finish at something like 2am. But you went to bed at 10pm and need to get up at 5:30am for work. Well, that is 3.5hrs of the finished book sitting there, slowing your progress down of maxing out your Geo's and explorers. If you haven't already learned this about TSO, there is 1 thing need to know about this game. It is all about "Hurry up and wait", meaning, everything is designed to take a long time.
Therefore, there will never be a way to queue up multiple books.
Yep. Buffing the Bookbinder further complicates ones scheduling, should you actually want to maximize use of your buffs... imho, the new 'small glue' is more efficient than 'Hide Glue' as it is easier to fit into my day-to-day scheduling. The Wilderwood and Hide Glues are great when I can be on at the right times...Quote:

I have hide glues running on mine and use it right when I wake up, right before bed, once at work, and then in the evening. That falls apart on the weekend (which I use to create the more advanced books anyway), but it's more or less manageable during the week, though it's an unnecessary pain. On days like today when the server's down, I lose a book.
Anything less than level 5 it wouldn't work on. At least then the 6/12 hour splits are evenly divisible by 24.
I have a Lv 5 Bookbinder, but I leave at 5am and get home about 7pm (commute with a 12+ hr shift), 3-4 times a week. So it ends up, when I get home, I nab the book I've made, and start another one. I save up the Tier 1&2 books, to make a Tier 3 book when I'll be working. So say, I start a T3 book at night, I'll be able to nab it the next evening when I get home from work.
As I mentioned in my previous post, everything in this game is designed to take a lot of time to accomplish. If they added a queue system for making books, it would mean people wouldn't have to login as much to do their book thing .. Making things easier and making things more "user friendly" are very different things. Only MMOs like World of Warcraft will cater to carebears. And that is why a lot of people quit playing that game (especially when they added panda monks[Kung Foo Panda movie was the fad at the time] and a pokemon battle system for non-combat pets.. among other things).
Precisely. :DQuote:
