BudgetLimeSoda Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Alcohol takes ages to make, gives a visual debuff, and provides no nutrition. Why on earth would it provide no fruit satiation when your hunger bar is full if it doesn't even give you nutrition? I was so excited to try my first apple brandy in winter when I had no other fruit and my fruit satiation was low, only to find it did nothing because my hunger bar was full. Surely this should be one of the benefits of alcohol not providing nutrition, you can bump up your fruit satiation whenever you like. I also think alcohol should cure freezing personally, and there should be nice quartz or lead crystal bottles and glasses and a wine rack (Maybe even customizable labels?). I love the brewing mechanic, super awesome, but please, give it a little love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Same reason why fruit can be consumed when the hunger bar is full yet provide no benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogi Teh yeti Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Keep in mind, once you turned the apple cider into apple brandy you actually made it so it offers no fruit satiety. It will reduce hunger, but doesn't count as fruit anymore. Wines and the other alcohol you brew from a barrel counts as fruit nutrition, but all the distilled alcohol loses its nutrition though still providing satiety. Also, only meals from a bowl or pie check to see if you are full, otherwise all the foods and drinks can be consumed at max hunger but do nothing for you. Seeing as there are artisanal bottles, but they currently do nothing, I imagine we may see bottles, jugs, and drinks getting touched upon again soon but that is purely speculation. I do like the idea of using alcohol as a means to "cure" freezing, might make the stumbling about a bit more worth while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echoweaver Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 It would be lovely to see a game motivation for making alcohol. The mechanic for doing it is lovely. There's just no reason to do it beyond roleplaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In game you wouldn't suffer cold damage until you suddenly die. This would create many loud complaints from players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be something like it gives a slight bonus to players heat hardiness or something so it just slows down how fast they lose heat (although the reality is it makes you lose heat faster, you simply just don't feel it).
