Thanks for helping me. Another newbie question. Why are most books in my advanced training menu grayed out? Do you need certain level of academics or intelligence to read them? Or do you need to be advanced in the field to a certain degree? How do you find out what the prerequisites are for a particular book?
You have to buy the books from Devious Tools or the Bookstore at Whitehaven. There's a book at Roo and one more from Juno's quest. There's two books from one path of Aria's second questline (The Mare and Sundering Minds). Some are just not available yet (Henna's Medicine, The Beyond, and one more).

it's spam bondage sessions until mind broke your slaves the faster way to reduce willpower?
That combined with doing anti-willpower lectures in the shrine. -3 willpower per day.

Explaining chores also gives -1 willpower or -3 if you explain in a dominant tone. If you do dominant tone it also raises fear which lowers affection so you'd need to balance that out by taking them to the diner or something to lower fear.

For some reason I can't seem to trigger the Goonies quest despite spending 10+ sessions with Rosita.
Is there an unusual prerequisite that I'm somehow missing?

And asking about Sexual Preferences>Bondage with a Dominant Tone, -1 Willpower per time you ask.

Also, if you can get them to accept the Morning BJ role, it's another -1 Willpower if you Humiliate them. The rest of the BJ can be skipped.

Is there any downside to having all the females in the household sleep on your floor once you get them to undying affection? Figured I could save money on house renovation as long as I'm not recruiting too quickly if this works

Fully renovated house and proper or high end furnishings later on will generate influence and keep household happy. In the long run you'll do well with having things tip top shape. If you're in early game and when in fights, try take out the males first, if you have decent gear smack down the females with a blunt weapon and cap alive, trading them off. Or have them join household and go to a auction, may get you a little more early on, they only cost in beginning with little benefit from keeping the randoms. Special encounters/quests the ones to focus on if wanting keepers, later on you can spend time training and improving them but weeks and weeks for 9-12k sale vs 1-2k instant, rinse repeat, i think quick sales better all over.

I meant for the sleeping assignment for the house rule. I've already captured a bunch of women and I've managed to convince them that BDSM sex is the best thing ever. Or at least that's what they tell me when I ask them about their sexual preferences. When I try to explain sexual duties, the game tells me that they are already my masochistic lover.

So i'm wondering if this fills the requirements and allows me to say stack 20 people on floor saving money on dorms and private bedrooms, that way I can use the money I earn on other parts of the house and my workshop.

Thanks. So the grayed out books are ones I have not acquired yet. I would have never guessed that.

It doesn't really matter I guess. If you don't plan to keep them, anywhere goes. If you do, simple bedrooms cost 500 and have room for 2 npcs.
Unless there's a better plan I'm not aware of. Most of the household sleeps in the dorms and didn't notice serious drawbacks.

You have to socialize with her afterwards and there's a roll that you don't see, but a success gives positive dialogue that advances the story.

You don't save money on that at all. AFAIK house maintenance cost goes up by 5$ per slave regardless of where they sleep. The dorm is fine, the 1st level of upgrade is not expensive and gets rid of the happiness penalty.

Sleeping on master's floor does have effects, I don't recall exactly what they were but I think they're somewhere in the wiki. There was some chance of increasing the Submissive trait by 1 point if you met certain criteria (low willpower, at least).

You can throw in more beds to a bedroom, and each bedroom can house 4 people without being crowded.

So. About selling wood...
I finally got the sawmill running (and even figured out what "withdraw" really means here) but turning wood into money seems cumbersome. Is there another place to sell your wood other than the market? 1$ per unit doesnt seem worth the hassle. And manipulating the market price even less so. (Control <5? No, thanks. Prosperity >75? I wish.)

How do you get rich facilitating the sawmill?

Well, with the burner you can automatically turn some wood into gunpowder which is twice as valuable when sold,

But really it's about saving you from having to buy wood for your workshops.

Each stack of 50 rifles costs 100 wood, that amounts to a cost of 6 bucks per rifle if bought at the market. That's already 6 times more than just selling the wood at the market.

Doing this, you'll need to build up a stockpile of wood that you don't sell that will keep your workshops running when you're letting the forest recover.

So something weird just happened. My MC has married Aria and completed her questline. She is at undying affection and has only 3 corruption.
I just got an event where it says she stayed the night at one of her mercenaries and missed a meeting thus lowering the states power by 50.
Is that merc my guy or is she gonna hoe around no matter what if she's chancellor?

EDIT: She also lives at the manor and sleeps in the master bedroom..

I had this as well, I think it was to do with her willpower? The event probably needs a corruption check and not just a willpower check.
