Puke, Puke, and more &&%&%@#$$!! Puke

[DeadSilent]

How in the hell does one deal with this issue? No matter how many handymen I have (6 at one point) I can't keep up with the clean up. People just walk around and puke 3-4 times ever 3 secs or so. It's litterally the only frustrating issue I have.

[Lisa2900]

Have you built a restroom? This will def help the situation.

[DeadSilent]

I always build a restroom with at least 10 stalls in it, but they still decide to walk around to the back area of the tavern and just puke everywhere.

Tiar, it is actually very easy to handle. The puking has been buffed lately because there are many ways to handle it :D

BTW, drunks guests will no longer use the restroom to sober up, hence the restroom trick no longer works (changed in 0.3)



Here are few ways that I can recommend.

1. Have a handyman (I like to hire highly skilled handyman around 100+) and set area around the bar (so that he doesn't go to dirt far away)

2. Research mead via research workshop and improve mead quality (higher the mead quality, the quicker the drunk guests will sober up)

3. Hire skilled bartenders - less chance of getting drunk in the first place.

4. Build a stage/piano and contract a bard. When drunk guests get near any music source they sober up almost immediately. This is actually the most effective but costly option.

[DeadSilent]

I've done just about all of this, and I'm still having a problem. I built a stage and contracted a performer, even built the rooms across the middle of the tavern to block access to the back half, hired three handymen to clean up so they just have to turn and clean, hired the bartender with the highest skill possible (223) and there are still 6 people staggering around and filling the floor with vomit.

To say the puking has been buffed is an understatement, this place would have been shut down by the health department hours after opening. The only thing I haven't tried is researching mead, but if that magically fixes the problem I'm deeply concerned with balance issues.

[Peter]

hmmmm, let me test it again and see if it is too overwhelming.

That's usually what ends up happening, even if I have a bard playing and a bar tender with over 200 skill. I've tried having up to 6 handymen and I still can't keep up with it.

build 2 restrooms (2x5or6 toilets) with the doors next to the bars. works for me

[Peter]

I will nurf the vomit amount in the next patch slightly.

[DeadSilent]

I appreciate it that you took the time to look into this. I tried to solve it on my own and was simply unable to change the results. I remembered restrooms helping with this problem before and it made sense that most people would try and stagger to a toilet and puke there, but after you informed me of the changes to that in 0.3 I was at a complete loss on how to deal with it.

I'd also like to appologize for any inconvienence or delays this might have caused you.

[Peter]

no, you don't have to apologize, in fact, you are helping me speed up development by bringing these feedbacks to me.

I've been thinking about what you said and was thinking if I should revisit the mechanics a bit and improve things here and there. Hopefully, I will come up with something cooler :D

[[BLA]Unmortal]

AI behaves also diffrent if you ask money for toilets (there primary setting is probaly 0 costs to use a restroom) atleast i noticed a big change of there behaviour when you ask money.

*when before you had almost a clean floor with a janitor near the bars and a musicians stage and the toilet is almost as close as it can humanly be to walk for them....*

even if you have bars and table are with a stage and musicians they rather vomit on the ground then pay 5 bucks or 1 buck for a restroom.

maybe its better to ask for a charity use of toilet as a policy option.

but i bet Lord Peter will find my larger findings in the ather tread i have for him.

and meantime we wait for a fix its vomit FIESTA a new celebration in youre bar. =)

[Shaihulud]

Still a major issue. at least 6 maintance guys, massive restroom, stage with bard, whole tavern coverd in puke. Seriously its rediclus

[Peter]

Shaihulud, is this with the Dev Build or the Main Build?
