Fruity Beer! (For the Nuts!)

Post by Horatius_The_First »

Heres something we should do to add variety to the game. Make more varieties of beer made from different things, mainly nuts and fruits!

In real life, we use things like fruits and nuts all the time (and honey and other stuff to for meads and so on). We should be able to make different varieties of beer in game that give slighty varying satiation bonuses (or perhaps, just the name variation alone would be enough for flavors sake). Hard cider (from apples,pears for example) could increase fish specifically, while mead (made from honey) could be sausage specific as honey mead.

Before you get on me, yes I know mead and beer arent the same things. But, the principle here is variations to beer, not the technicalities of needing new drinks for which Jorb/Loftar would have to try and figure out to code, add the new stations and other mechanics for in making. Much simpler to make variations of beer.

Excellent idea for nuts and fruits. It seems like fruit trees and shrubs are just ignored past the first few days of scavenging, and I'd love a reason to cultivate high quality seaberries and dog rose hips.

Maybe incorporate features of the fruit/nut addition to the beer in a similar way to potential wine aging changes?

Wouldn't mind some ciders & such, but drinks are no fun at the moment, so I don't want to add more until I have some idea as to where it should go.
