Beers that give buffs

[SableTwoSeven]

So I love this game. My play-time should make that clear. Just about the only thing I'd personally change would be this. I'd really love it if the devs would either make beers that give buffs purchasable with creds, or add the ingredients to the Mineral Trade. I often find myself short a few Bulbs or whatever the buff beer requires, and I like having buffs! Please, please Devs, you wonderful humans, either make it so I can just BUY buff beers for a higher price point, or add the ingredients I need to the mineral trade. Thankee, and keep up the good work!

Wait, so you mean when you go to a bar IRL, you don't bring with you all the barley and hops required to make the beer and directly trade that to him with a small bit of cash???????????????

Also i've been kicked right out of an Italian restaurant because I asked for a merlot and diddn't bring any grapes with me as payment.

But seriously, beer RNG is kinda dumb.

They used to let you buy them with credits and it was dumb because you could always afford them so you had a buff running 100% of the time. People would buy dark morkite on mission types other than mining just because. It's slightly better now, even though if you play 4p and rotate who buys you'll still end up with more than you can spend.

Oh these beers are quite expensive resource wise, oh I can now afford every beer without regard to it's resource cost, every dwarf after a while.

The buff beers, are massively cheaper than some of the cosmetic beers.

keep in mind the only hop you actually need is the barley bulb, the other three are only used for the initial unlock of today's special

I made a thread almost exactly like this once before, basically the general consensus is "You don't need beer buffs to win any mission in the first place, they're optional, and not that expensive when it comes down to it."

I understand your plight, but if you just only ever buy beer buffs on missions where you REALLY need them, like Deep Dives, you should build up a relatively stable supply of buds.

The consensus on the non-buffing beers is that you should have to farm for them, and not be able to trade for the materials, because they're just for fun. They're not necessary in any situation.

Fair points people, fair points. Guess I need to change my approach. thanks for the input!
