Brew drink from plants or fruits?

[Gunsaremagic]

Does it matter

[Nakaris]

Yes...
super cheap to buy or to gather fruits or plants.

The final product is a drink either way, it depends on what brewable ingredients you have.

[AlP]

Some brewable items are plants (plump helmets), others are fruit (strawberries). Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

its a little more complicated...

dwarfes prefer to eat/drink their favorites... so maybe you only brew dwarfen ale.. als Only drink... (plump helmets) but that one dwarfs for some reason HATES that ale... so if he is forced to drink this... he is not so happy about it... on the other hand... maybe he likes another type of brew... and if he drinks that, he will be superhappy about it.

in the long run its good to have brews from all fruits and plants that can you get... so the dwarfes will drink and the overall Happyness will rise...

for the survival-aspekt of short terms it does not matter... for the long term it does a little.... but nothing serious.

you can see the favorite things in the charackter-specs of every dwarf...

also, every plant and every fruit have a brew to their plant/freuit IF they can be brewed... there are many diffrent brews.

plump helmets are easy and are the bread and butter of every dwarven civ. but there can be brewed more :)

also -> this goes for many things... beds can be made of any kind of wood... but a few dwarfes prefer a specific kind of wood... what do you think he will feel if he sleeps in a bed of his favorite wood... ?
and is sourrounded by his Favorite stone?
and wears his Favorite kind of socks?

its very easy to get thinngs ready early with less stuff... for survival. but for a few dwarfs its good to fulfil their demands, if you like them ^^

also, they will care themselfes if you provide just the materials.. like Food and drinks.. for the Materials, pictures and things you can help a little with micro-Management

For the most part alcohol is alcohol and you're rewarded for producing a wide variety.

Muck Root, Rat Weed, and Prickleberry alcohol is worth *1, Whip Vine alcohol is worth *3, Sun Berry alcohol is worth *5, everything else is worth *2. The value really only matters if you're using it in prepared meals to export.
