Question About the new serving system & feedback

[alisonmanic]

So, this appears to be the case but want to be sure, You can only serve 1 type of drink from the Keg behind the bar and just 4 beer kegs on the bar itself? So I can no-longer serve all types of drinks from where we put food?

The update has kinda of killed what I liked about the game. Not a fan of the new ageing system at all nor the fact I can't serve all the drinks at once (unless i'm missing something as above). Such a shame as I've put in well over 140hrs into playing the game for the fun of it.

Having to press shift the entire time to 'run' isn't easy either. Shame that the old method to keep going at a decent pace is gone.

Certainly wish I could revert back to the old update to just go ahead and play without the new system as I feel it's too much with the new update.

You can have up to 4 kegs plus the 4 bar taps, so you can serve 8 different drinks at the same time. You can craft them in the sawmill.

You can change the shift behaviour in options:

Before I would usually stock a red, a white and a rose wine, a couple different hard liquors, and a few flavors of tea. I often had two or three different flavors each for red, white, and rose wine. Now I basically get one wine, one hard liquor, one tea, and then one additional drink.

I also agree. I used to fill up half the bar-book with different 'exotic' drinks. It doesn't make any sense to have up to 48 slots for different foods but only 8 for drinks. And why on earth does tea need to be aged? In fact, since it doesn't have alcohol, it would probably spoil. I think the bottom row of the bar-book should be for drinks. That would be a better balance of 36/20 rather than the existing 48/8.

After some hours in new update I have to say I don't like the new system either. Now you just can't put so many different drinks into menu, also you have to refill those barrels all the time. I was glad that there is bouncer now so I can leave my tavern in peace and do other jobs but nope, I have to run back and check if barrels are empty. It might be better if I could put entire stack into barrel as 30 drinks is nothing in big tavern.

Also running the bar alone is now just exhausting. New system of serving drinks to tables is good idea but it isn't easy to manage it. With different drinks in every tap / barrel you have eight colors and you have to run and check orders as there is no visible indicators on the bar, you need to check them every time. I like to do bartending by myself sometimes and now I just avoid it. It was much easier before, much more satisfying.

New icons for beers are nice but to me it was easier to read type of beer (and that it is the beer not some other alcohol as they all were just kegs) with the old ones. Now I'm confused if this is beer or not, what type of beer and I have to check them everytime.

BTW aging vodka is really weird idea.

As is aging gin, and tea and non-alcoholic eggnog. Both the tea and the non-alcoholic eggnog would spoil and develop mold in 2 days if left in the aging barrels. Possibly cider too.
These type of items need to be available in the bar book,

Tea and eggnog cannot be aged.
