What I don't understand about the pub

[Banisha]

Do I have to make the drinks accessible in storage AND on the sales stall? I don't understand it at all!
I've experimented with selling alcohol, but I haven't seen a drunk, but the sobering drinks are hard to beat. What's going on here?
For me they can just be satisfied with water and milk, but I still want to know.
Please shed some light on this and help this idiot a little further.

In the tavern you can craft drinks. What you do with them is up to you.

You can allow your people to drink them if you put them in the food storage, or you can drink them yourself, or you can sell them - either selling them directly to vendors in the villages, or sell them in the market stall (by setting up a market stall for food and then selling your drinks there).

Your villagers won't get drunk, just like they don't get poisoned no matter what they eat. So if they drink the alcohol, they do it only for the water content it has. It has no other effect on them and it doesn't matter for them or the game whether they drink water or alcohol.

So if you are looking pure ingame mechanics, it's best to just let them drink water and sell the alcohol.

If you like to roleplay like me; you could put a bottle or two of alcohol in the chests of your villagers' houses for special occasions; like when they get married, or to celebrate the first day of spring. Things like that. It doesn't change the actual gameplay or the npc's, but in my head I find it funny to do little things like that.
Or to put a fruit basket in a house as a little "gift" when they have a baby. :-)

Once again Morri's ready knowledge.
Thank you.
What would this game do without you?

So the inn has no meaning to me. If I need some jewelry or want to meet the herauld, I'll go the town were they reside.

Villagers do gather there to sit in the evenings and before work. So it's a nice meet-up place to decorate.
I always place some tables and benches outside as well.

So if we Want the villagers to drink whatever, we put those in the food storage.
To Sell via the market stall, and to keep villager's hands off them, we put them in the Resource Storage? Or rather, leave them in, since our barista will craft them and put them into resource?

No, there is a list of food/drink items, where you can flag the things you want them to not touch.

Thanks. I just unlocked and built a tavern tonight. So I'll start to look into that.

[Ruffio]

In regard of the pub/tavern, or rather the villagers over all. If they did more things in their off time, other than sit around, or just stand here and there. Idk, more "sims" like... ? -)

Love the fruit basket Morri. Clever. After I have a bit of cash I start to buy the exotic goods, the bottles, malvasia, jewelry and stuff to decorate houses. And a little bag of cash. Figs look quite figgy.
My folks wander around, sit and talk with one another, go down and look out over the lake. It would be nice if they could pet the pig though. But I wish the married ones would stop complaining about being single. lol
First thing I do on a save now is flag foods drink and water they can use. Otherwise it's a nightmare. Them chowing down on all the good stuff first. That used to be such a mystery.

I wish there was a low level version of the tavern so we could figure out exactly how much space it needs when saving for it. I have a great location but nothing to check it with other than maybe using barn layout to see if it is a good fit. It could even be the tavern but no walls, no way to hire, just a place to get out of the rain.

All my taverns are full of food, drinks, big basket of breads, every table has vase of flowers, tablecloth, games, lighting around the building, campfire to the side. It's where the action is baby.

@Foxglovez
It would be nice if you could grand me a nice picture of your pub ,-)

The barn is the same size as the tavern. You can use that blueprint if you have unlocked that, for planning purposes.

[Foxglovez]

Cool beans. I will plunk down a barn floor then to ck size n positioning. Really good to know.
I am too much the luddite to figure out how to attach pix in steam. They make things so difficult for dummies. And what does it mean to "grand" someone a pix? Not in my lexicon.

The link you get at the end you can paste in your post.

I shall give that a go. Thanks again Morri. See you have 4k+ hours in MD. Not insignificant. Just rolled over 1k. 4k is like a job, a fun job though.

Tbh, my potato is rather slow in starting up the game; so I often leave it running in the background when i'm afk to save myself the hassle to have to start it up again. That also counts as hours played for Steam.
