Skarfayce Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Can't find one of these to save my life! I have enough parts to make 3 bikes but its all useless ! I'm sure I'm not the only one though, lol. Just sucks to be on Day 35 (just got the game), and not be able to go too far from the base. Thankfully there's beer and grain alcohol! Playing on Navezgane and am at the Pass-n-Gas to the east of Diersville; I'm sure I'm walking past it somewhere. Damn I love this game! How long has it taken some of you with more in game hours to find this? What is the longest you've gone without finding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAW2ROBZ Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I went passed day 50 in a public random gen map. My guess randoms maybe found it and used it. Is your map public? Private maps I have a box full of them on navezgane. Try the book store? Care packages sometimes have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private maps I have a box full of them on navezgane. Try the book store? Care packages sometimes have them. It's a solo game, private i assume (excuse my ignorance). Went to the book store west of Diersville near the trader hit up a Working Stiff on the way and feel like I got stiffed ! Nothing good at all, but I got more beer! Been getting great guns, gun schematics and parts along with the usual meds and stuff from the care packages, but still no bike book. My secret stash is level 2, but nothing in regards to books from the traders. Does it have to be on level 3 to get them from traders? I've hit up the snow biome trader, wasteland and forest traders as well... nothing. I really just want to explore more, but probably good it's going a bit slower as I'm already thinking about starting over in a private random gen.

Walterstj Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Head west... You'll see a working stiffs hardware store, a 4 way intersection with some houses, and then a crack a book.... That's your best bet for books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHangWOlf Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yea I had an issue like this too I went to around day 70 without finding a single minibike schematic, it was really frustrating as I had everything except that book, I'm guessing its more of a rare drop. Keep in mind this was on alpha 15 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarfayce Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 70 days?!?!?!? That'll be annoying. Let's hope I don't have to wait that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterstj Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If you just need the book, set your loot to 5 days... Between the crack a book and the working stiffs just over there river, 2 trips through both will get you the book... Then you can put loot back to whatever you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balun Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ive never had to wait long for the book but the Gas recipe has taken forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr8liner Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 You guys talk days. 70 days is nothing if you're playing 10 minute days. That ,what 10 hours if play? A little more maybe. Now if you're playing 120 minute days and got to day 70 ,that would suck. Also do you guys go out and loot? Or wait for then to fall from the sky? I have everything within 14 days. I only play 120 minute days as well. Had working mini bike on the morning of day 3. Guess some people have bad luck as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterstj Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Some of it is just terrible luck... It took longer than I expected to get the sniper rifle book... I hated having all those parts and doing nothing with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looting as usual and a airdrop dropped ~close by so of course I go for it and voila! Minibikes for Dumb♥♥♥♥s (Me) from the heavens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw_187 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yea it's pretty much just dumb luck. I've found that book on day 1 before, other times day 10 or longer. Just glad the days of the wrench schematic are gone. That one always eluded me for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBKillingfools Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Currently at day 28, with loot set on 5 day respawn. I hit the crack a book probably 5 times already, and still haven't found the mini bike book. Actually, between myself and a buddy, we have found most schematics to be more difficult to come by.

With no luck at the book stores i'd try and get the nearest care packages near your outpost/bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman2838 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I have found a few in file cabinets, and in safes. I also found one in a car. The idea that books are only in bookstores will lead you to miss a lot of good stuff. Even found a rifle in a tree stump once. Books aren't always in bookstores, guns aren't always in Messiah's. Plus, there are bookshelves in more than half the houses, apartments, and even in the Pass & Gas. I typically have the mini by day 3 and the sniper by day 5. That being said, every game I've played there has always been something elusive. Played one game and went to day 26 before I found the stupid spiked club schematics.

IBKillingfools Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I realize that the books can be anywhere. I just happen to have set up my main base not too far from the crack a book. So, I try to hit it every respawn. My issue is, I am a Horder. I don't like tossing or scrapping everything, besides clothes. We go out. Fill up a few drop boxes with everything we find, then shuffle it all back to our base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un-BeatabIe Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Some book racks have two shelves like in the poi crack a book, houses have often one shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarfayce Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 I stated this already,but I found mine in a care drop. All I seem to find in book stores is paper, go figure! Other than care packages I'm pretty sure the best loot I've found has been in tree stumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damselx1 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's worth checking out the rubbish piles too - got the book from there more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsentSoul Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It's worth checking out the rubbish piles too - got the book from there more than once. Good point! I find so many things in trash piles it makes it worth a search. I also then destroy said trash piles because there’s just too damn much trash on the roadways.
