The Art of Brewing

We proudly present our very first real mod - The Art of Brewing!
The original idea of this mod was to refactor Yurand2000's "Automated Fermenting" mod. But with the new stat and effect system, which was introduced with 0.6.3, the mod started to get more and more complex and now invloves a lot of new, additional functions and possibilities.

Content:

• A new crafting station - the fermenting barrel
  
• Beer - made from wheat and herbs
  
• Wine - made from berries
  
• Tequila - made from cactus fruits
  
• Mead - made from honey (requires Beekeeping)
  
• Linseed Bread - made from flour and flax seeds
  
• Fermenting yeast
  
• New stat and passive character effects
  
• Mod is tied into a completely new quest

Known Issues

• Sometimes levitation when "very drunk".
  
• Bottles glow at night.
  
• Effects are currently not stackable - i.e. whenever you drink another beer whilst a prior beer effect is still active, it gets replaced rather than added.
  
• The mead texture in the horns turn light pink once set up in a visual inventory and swapped/removed again. Reloading the world fixes it.

We still have a few ideas to further expand this mod and you are also welcome to use the mod as a dependency to add new recipes and effects as well!

Huge thanks to mlinder87 for the awesome model and texture work of the barrel and the mugs and to STORI3D PAST Productions to help us getting started to mod for ME!
Credits for the bottle models go to Yurand2000.



Added mead as an optional brewable drink, that gives you the power of a berserk!
You can only brew mead by adding one of the beekeeping mods that add the resource "honey" (usable via tag) like the Advanced Beekeeping mod does.
Big shoutout to STORI3D PAST Producions again for providing the models of the mead horns!



The mod has been updated to the latest game version!
Some changes happened mostly in the background, in order to make it compatible with 0.6.4 again, but I also added a few cool new features.
The purple Alcometer stat bar was replaced by a more immersive approach how to indicate your current alcohol level: your FOV will change according to how much you drank and a HUD overlay was added.
Furthermore, when you get to the critical level, you can also hear your heart beating now, which will stop once you have been sobering out completely - and be aware - you'll have to be completely sober in order to stop the periodic health loss.
If you had too much though and die of your drunkenness, a new chat message will be prompted accordingly.

I hope to see some feedback from you guys on this update and am eager to hear what you think of the missing stat bar, which yo can easily enable in the HudDefinitions.sbc in Data\GUI again.


This update relies on the Waterworks resource mod, that adds water as a resource from wells and snow. Check out the mod page (link on the right hand site) how to get water.

Beer, Tequila and Mead now require some freswhater in order to craft. You will have to "pour" freshwater from your filled buckets into the barrel for this by clicking the crafting recipe for it. You'll get back empty buckets in return and you can also pour the water back from the barrel into the bucket.

IMPORTANT:
Because of some unwanted restrictions in vanilla game, I had to force the fermenting barrel to not spawn a lootbag when it gets destroyed or deconstructed. This means, if you do deconstruct or destroy it while there were still items in the crafting queue, they will get lost, only leftover yeast will spawn a lootbag.
Furthermore, cancelling a crafting process (like brewing a beer) will refund you all resources but freshwater. This is because the player cannot "carry" around liquid water in his pockets.


Have fun with it and don't drink and drive...*burp*
