rodo404 Posted Sunday at 06:01 PM Report Posted Sunday at 06:01 PM (edited) Alcohol in the game is pretty useless, other than it being cool it lacks of a real use. I think it would be cool if alcohol could give temporary effect ( like potion ) to the player. For example : mead giving low regen for 10s or wine letting the player have higner harvest yeilds for berries for 10 bushes. But to keep it balanced the player will still have to deal with being drunk. Edited Sunday at 06:55 PM by rodo404
Facethief Posted yesterday at 12:25 AM Report Posted yesterday at 12:25 AM I read “alcohole” in the title and thought it was Spanish. Maybe I should calm down a little… 2

Until the developers get to an alcohol overhaul, there is this mod which aims to resolve this issue until then: https://mods.vintagestory.at/slowtox 3
rvenson Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago I’m not a fan of “magic” stat boosts from regular food, but alcohol could serve a clear mechanical purpose. Consuming alcohol could temporarily increase cold resistance, allowing the player to endure lower temperatures for longer periods (and stay drunk in the process). Maintaining this effect would require regular consumption, encouraging players to plan ahead and stockpile alcohol before winter. Alcohol could also function as a trade commodity, giving it economic value alongside goods like crops and leather.

I always see stuff regarding cold resistance and alcohol, but I'll be the outlier and say it should do the opposite! In reality, all it does is make you feel warm, but it's actually cooling your entire body! There are far too many horror stories about people going out to pee in the cold at parties, only to be found dead from hypothermia! It's no joke, and the misinformation needs to be stopped! 3

You’re completely right. I’ve seen this implemented in other games, and I hadn’t fully considered the implications. Thanks for pointing it out.
