Summary0003934: Books don't appear to be spawning in libraries below civ level.
DescriptionI've been through nearly a dozen libraries one level below mine and have not found a single book in them. Maybe this is the way it should be though? Making books just a tad tougher to get?

This is working as intended I think, let me find the email where Chris told me the details on this.

Found it:
"I checked, and the formula is percentChanceOfBook = 80 + ( regionLevelDifferential * 5 ); Region level differential is your the chunk level minus your civ level. So if you explore equal levels, there should be an 80% chance, or if you explore 4 levels up it should be 100%. If you explore down, it gets lower chance."

Oh, also, have you unlocked everything already? You won't be finding any books if there is nothing for you to unlock.

It's not quite working as intended. As intended is that it would be harder to find books at a lower level, but I'm finding that it's impossible. I'm not entirely sure that this isn't a good thing. But Chris wanted a reminder to look into this, so here it is.

Also, I'm certain that I don't have everything unlocked. There are a few spells (such as teleport) that I don't have.

Hm, okay, if I didn't have everything unlocked I'd check this out more. I also agree that this might not be a bad thing, I mean it feels cheap being able to visit rare commodity towers that are 10+ levels below you to get memory crystals. Actually this gives me an idea for a suggestion.

I just found a book in a level 1 building tonight in 0.501, and I'm certainly not level 1 anymore, so it is at least still possible to find them below your level.

I found a book in a level 3 library at level 6 in 0.500, so it doesn't seem to be impossible, at least.

No more books = not an issue?
