MoreBrews!
I have been diligently putting this together to share one of my personal hobbies with the PZ community. I did my best to capture the process of brewing beer from start to finish.
Key Elements of this Mod Update 2.01 Edition:
- New Brewing skill tied to the process of brewing and how to unlock more complicated recipes
- New Skill books to help in the process of leveling that new skill
- New Brewers trait that provides you recipes at the start, basic brewing kit, and a couple levels in brewing
- 9 Different Beers can be brewed each with its own Can and Bottle texture
- Brew Kits have been created that give you the base supplies for brewing different styles
- 5 Magazines included to learn new beer recipes + necessary skills
- Detailed tooltips to help guide you through the steps
- Will need to mix, boil, pitch, and ferment to get to the end goal
- Fermentation requires leaving the filled carboys out and overtime will turn into a finished product
- Kegs are introduced and can keep beer fresh for long periods of time
- Fill cans and bottles directly after fermentation is done or from kegs (Kegs wont skunk quickly)
- CURRENTLY working on providing ingame options for spawn rates/timers/and other QoL things
- Winemaking utilizing majority of current items in the mod and in the vanilla game
- Distilling process with a variety of base liquors
- Bartending/Cocktail Mixing using homemade alcohol
- Additional Skills/traits related to winemaking/distilling/mixology
- Growable base items (hops, barley, etc.) for full grain brewing and mash making (will be a bit of time and lots of testing before this one happens)
- Maybe professions but that is a far reach (most likely not)
This is the most robust mod I have put together yet so I cannot currently guarantee it won't impact other mods or MP. I can at least say that all of the items included are new/no overriding is necessary. When I tested removing the mod the game was still playable and all the MoreBrews supplies disappeared off the map. I was able to reintroduce this mod without impacting anything. Recently did small MP test and things went smoothly while in low population, will see in a higher pop server soon.
It is safe to say you will lose any items you gained from this mod if you remove it. NOTE: This has not been thoroughly tested against other mods or in MP
Where do I find supplies?
Magazines and Books will be found in the typical locations you would find other recipe mags. Brewing kits and general supplies should be grabbable from big box stores and misc. tool shops. Kegs will be very rare to come by but dig through the mod and you will find that I attempted to ease some of those burdens.
