- B42: native - OPTIONS --> MODS[/list]
- Pressing the key "R" just doesn't work for reading if you have a gun in you hand or you are in the building mode:
Key "R" priority
- Favorite books have more priority. But unfinished book has the most priority.
- Inventory books have more priority over books in backpacks, and backpacks have more priority over containers.
