Can hardly wait to produce nibs, My view this game is going down hill

I wouldn't bet that those cycle times for intermediate and advanced paper are the correct ones for the live servers.
They're likely shortened for the short testing time available before this goes live in June.
Expect the time it takes to make enough books for all your specialists to take years.

I was given over 900 of each of the 3 type of books. No need to make any on test.

books really?

At first, we were making them. When they patched some bugs and reset again, they gave out the books already made.

There are some SERIOUS balance issues created with this new science system. It also adds an excessive level of complexity relative to the benefits. There are some wonderful suggestions posted by some of the players in the test server forum that address these issues. I sincerely hope that the developers will listen to these suggestions and make the necessary adjustments before releasing it on the main server. The science system has some awesome potential, but in its current form, I'm afraid it will be more of a liability than an asset to the game.

need room

The way this is setup. It might not be worth building those expert buildings. Since the book binder is the bottle neck.

At lvl 5. You have to wait a day and a half to get the FIRST book. and to make the second book you need A FIRST book. etc. the third requiring the previous.

And those BUFFs that they're giving away. it only buffs you for 24 hrs. but considering the book binder makes 1 item that takes longer than a day and a half the buff will already wear off. You will probably reduce it down to 1 day at most. it's almost useless of a buff.

My Bookbinder on the test shows 12 hours for lowest lvl book at lvl 5. Not a day and a half.

I don't no if this helps anyone, sometimes Visuals to give some kind of ideas as to resolutions of things we do on our games. I no for me visuals are extremely important to my guide designs.
