"Hi all,
Since this has been denied already, what are others ways to help with not forcing someone to be active all the time. Maybe not a queue, but a different method to help make the buff become useful again to those that can't be on all the time?

I agree SS, its the only way, since they have made a buff to shorten the time, without adding a queue the buff is useless.
I agree too, without queue why bother with the buffs it it just stupid. Doesn't make sense to deny that when they made queues available for other types of buildings. I see this as a major flaw and an assault on lower level players.
What if Alex is wrong?
Depends what your definition of wrong is then.
Lately I have been using my accumulation of Bookbinder buffs, and even though I am able to be online a great deal (though often afk doing other things), I noticed I am frequently missing my opportunity to maximize use of the buff. If we can't queue books, which would be the optimum solution, my recommendation is to give us/let us make buffs that are for various shorter (and longer?) durations, some only four hours, for instance. We can pick the proper buff to apply before we sign off for the night, for instance, then apply a longer buff to cover the duration until we get back on. However, this possible means of addressing it isn't nearly attractive as being able to queue a few books. This solution will require the settler to really think out timings, though, which is fun.
I spend less time playing because the length of time it takes to make my books. My time is valuable and the boring wait can be irritating at times. Having the building que would be much better with time on the game considered. I agree with you Gwalben, they should give us a building que, no doubt.
If i use the buffs invariably the books complete while i'm sleeping, at work, and the book is just sitting there paused.... not worth it to use the buff.. all that 'saved' time is just wasted in waiting for me to get back.

If you really want to improve the game play to fit people's different lifestyles including those that have to work or attend classes, etc. then there is no good reason not to have a Que with the new improved features (Send to the Top / Bottom and Clear Que) for every producing building in the game...!
Also a Check Box feature to stop production upon buff expiration would help with better resource management...
