2222 Like every furnishing in this group, the piece only feeds your settlement score when it sits inside the radius of a Bonfire. Set it down outside that range and it still works as scenery, but it adds nothing to the Comfort System total. Inside the radius it grants +1 Comfort toward the Books category.

You raise the overall comfort tier by mixing different decoration categories around a single bonfire rather than crowding the room with copies of one model. In practice this makes the build a cheap, fast way to tick the Books box while you save scarcer materials for gear and ships.
