Tomes are a type of book used to progress Anomaly research.
Acquisition
Tomes, like standard books, can be purchased from trade caravans, orbital traders and faction bases. However, tomes are more exclusive than other books, and are generally only carried by exotic goods traders.
Summary
Tomes can be read by colonists as a recreation activity, with a recreation power of 1. All books will also train intellectual at a rate of 250 XP per in-game hour.
Tomes function identically to schematics, with two major exceptions: They only progress dark research projects, and they have a chance to cause mental breaks while being read. Higher quality tomes provide more research points when read. The chance for the tome to cause a mental break per hour while read is randomly selected when the tome is generated, from a range of 1% to 5%
Tomes have a 25% chance of generating with two research projects instead of one. Reading the book will progress both projects at once, but the number of points generated will be divided by 1.6. Completing one of the two projects will not negate this effect, making the tome less effective overall.
| Quality | Points | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 project | 2 projects | |
| Awful | 0.07 / Hour | 0.05 / Hour |
| Poor | 0.15 / Hour | 0.09 / Hour |
| Normal | 0.23 / Hour | 0.14 / Hour |
| Good | 0.30 / Hour | 0.19 / Hour |
| Excellent | 0.38 / Hour | 0.23 / Hour |
| Masterwork | 0.45 / Hour | 0.28 / Hour |
| Legendary | 0.52 / Hour | 0.33 / Hour |
Analysis
Although tomes seem mostly useless after having done al anomaly research, they can be used to give mental breaks to pawns with the tortured artist trait. It is possible to lock up a pawn together with the tome, forcing it to always read the tome when it wants to recreate. This makes it possible to get inspired creativity every couple of ingame days.
