Why would that be a difficulty setting?!? A normal setting, yes, but not a difficulty setting!!!

Twice, just twice. And 30% is a huge amount

this would be great, but also reminds me, it would be nice if we could save active mods like in rimworld

tbh having crates work like barrely from better barrels or drawers from storage drawer would be great. having to manually put each stack of items in is annoying

While I know what you mean, sprinkling herbs on your firewood so it smells nice when you burn it would be hilarious

It can't I realised this when I was nearly done with the original post and had to redo a few parts

You didn't say forever, you said long term, and further mentioned winter. Moreover this was about if fermented fruit was worth it as a storage method which you have completely missed.

You disproved the first half of this on your own, "non-distilled alcohol still lasts basically forever while retaining it's fruit origin" I didn't know honey was considered a fruit tbh, but getting honey in mass amounts is harder than getting insane amounts of fruit, and then converting it into alcohol when it gets old. People already don't bother making beer, this just makes it not be ludicrously expensive for no reason, now its reasonably expensive for some reason. 64 fruit (5,120 satiety) turns into one aqua vitae. It takes 200 grain (60,000 satiety), for that same aqua vitae. Things should not be balanced around an end game player with infinite food. I checked it and they do not, fermented fruit and grain alcohols do, distilled do not

Currently making alcohol with grain has no realistic purpose, as it is pointlessly nerfed at every single stage of the alchohol making process 1. Satiety With fruit alcohol you need 1 liter of fruit juice, or 3.2 fruit, equaling 640, 256, 188, or 124 satiety depending on which fruit and only breadfruit gets the 640 With grain alcohol you need 5 flour, equaling 1500 or 1650 satiety (when turned to bread), this is over twice as bad as breadfruit, and nearly 6 times as bad as most other fruit! 2. Spoilage The main reason to make fruit alcohol is increasing how long it can keep, the longest lasting fruit lasts 40 days, alcohol lasts 140 days. Grains and flour last 180, which is longer, you are spending all that satiety to spoil faster than before (and get stored in a less efficient manner) 3. Spacetime With fruit alcohol you turn 50 fruit juice to 50 alcohol in 7-14 days with one barrel. With grain alcohol you turn 50 flour and 50 water to 10 alcohol in 14 days with one barrel, a fifth the throughput and always the longer duration. 4. Distillation Fruit alcohol distills at a 10:1 ratio, while grain alcohol has a 20:1 ratio, half the output and double the time (honey mead also has a 20:1 output but you're not making that anyway, honey already doesn't spoil) 5. Nutrition Maybe after all this you're thinking its at least useful if you want to store something with grain nutrition forever... nope! Distilled alcohol doesn't provide any nutrition , so after burning 30,000 grain satiety on your single liter of ale you'll find that its identical in all but name to the fruit brandy that cost only 2560 While point 2 and 5 are here mostly just to emphasize how bad grain alcohols are, I do think points 1, 3, and 4 should be fixed. With a 1:1 ratio of grain to alcohol grain alcohols are still less satiety effective compared to fruit alcohols (except breadfruit) but become something you might reasonably make, if only so you don't have to make it into bread. This would fix half of point three as well, after just reducing the duration it takes to ferment and making the distillation ratio a universal 10:1 grain alcohols would be much more reasonable to make, reducing that insane 30,000 satiety per liter down to a more reasonable 3000. (maybe breadfruit should also produce more juice)

jam on bread yum

I think adding paint would be a better way to do this tbh but you are right, there's no really blue blocks

...because you just wasted time and resources? And not everyone is you, we don't all have 10 stacks of iron we don't mind wasting for no reason

past 2 durability quenches the chance of breaking outweighs the gained durability even with tempering

No Just...no. Titanium is a weaker, if lighter, material than steel. Manufacturing it is not viable for the time period at all

we have cold tolerant crops, they're just screwed over by the universal growth speed reduction below 10c and universal growth stop at 0c actually 13/18 crops survive below 0c, and only 1 doesn't survive below 10c crop temperature system needs remade
