Summary	0001474: The Breeder Guide, or how to make the game more confusing that it should be
Description	Version 0.17.5. See attachment. As each release adds a new book, the book management is becoming very confusing for the players. Here is one example. Steps to reproduce: 1. Progress in Diane's storyline until the Goal Tracker says "[…] find out how to increase milk production.". 2. Go to the library. 3. Click on "Talk to the librarian". 4. Click on "Milk production book.". 5. Take the book "The Breeder Guide". 6. The book "Lactation and Me" appears in your inventory. 7. Go to the barn. 8. Give the book to Diane. Issues: • The book is still in our inventory. • We're able to return the book to the librarian. • After returning it, the book still appears in the next scene in Diane's storyline (Diane peeking). • When taking "The Breeder Guide" at the library, we don't have the popup "You have a new item in your backpack! The Breeder Guide:" • The book has a wrong title in inventory. It's "The Breeder Guide" not "Lactation and Me". Solution: • We should have a popup "You have a new item in your backpack! The Breeder Guide:" that confirms the book is now in our inventory. • Its title should be "The Breeder Guide" in the popup and in inventory. • The book should be removed from inventory after MC gave it to Diane. • The dialogue choice "Return library book." with the librarian should not appear after MC gave it to Diane.

Casiope 2019-01-08 14:40 updater ~0001885	The popup is in the game files but not used in-game. Its name is wrong. popup_item_book4.png (16,248 bytes) popup_item_book4.png (16,248 bytes)

Casiope 2019-01-08 14:57 updater ~0001886	And the script to change in the game file data\items.json, line 40: "name": "{b}Lactation and Me:{/b}", -> "name": "{b}The Breeder Guide:{/b}",

Casiope 2019-01-08 16:54 updater ~0001888	Instead of adding a specific dialogue choice with the librarian ("Return library books") to explain how the return works, add this explanation during MC's subscription (label library_jane_intro_sure). This dialogue choice ("Return library books") can be confused with the quest in Miss Bissette's storyline where MC has to return three overdue books. As for bug report 0001084, I'm not fond of adding too many dialogue choices. Some character are overflowing with them. More dialogues should be launched automatically when conditions are met.
