Also Toady set a limit of "1400 AD" as the highest tech level of the (core) game. Coffee would break immersion and ruin the medieval setting, so that's unlikely to ever become a core feature. Hence, it's a candidate for a mod.

Well, according to legend coffee dates back to the eighth century, there's apparently a Persian physician from the tenth century who mentions it as well.

Mmmm turkish coffee.

I see no reason why coffee would be beyond medieval technology. The time of its discovery appears to be happenstance more than passing any scientific barrier. Also, elves clearly sip tea. Dwarves, however, would find a way to concoct some form of Red Bull out of coffee beans, honey, and giant spider ichor.

Yeah. I have this beautiful image of there only being 3 liquids in the game, water, magma, and coffee. Bliss follows.

Where's the alcomahol man?

In barrels. As items. That's where.

I am so ahead of you man.

You crazy bastard. Come over here so I can give you some kinda bro hug.

It'd be epic if we could make foods that have a positive effect when combined as food - like the coffee balls used by Northern African tribal warriors before going into battle - crushed coffee beans rolled in goat fat for a HUGE KICK OF ENERGY.

Of course there would have to be a 'coffee crash' afterwards...

[Reelya]

Dudes, ALL that is totally do-able. Even the "comedown".

- have 1 syndrome attached to the food with positive effects.
- have 2nd syndrome attached to the food with negative effects, and a delayed reaction.

- make a custom food preparation job which makes the coffee / animal fat balls. But personally I'd just make the coffee brewing.

[Reudh]

I'ma research how to do it. I'm fine with creature creation, but I haven't seen the new tokens yet or made a new workshop. Probably could get Putnam, Meph or any other of the very proficient modder's help with it.

[Reelya]

I went ahead and made a sample syndrome. You might want to add more to this.
It demonstrates the physical and mental attribute syndromes, plus speed change.

Aha, I see by your sig you are indeed a proficient modder yourself.



Hmmm. So I would put the Shazbot/Reelya coffee shrub in the plants raws, then build a workshop or a custom interaction.

I'd probably love the idea of a 'Coffee Brewery' workshop where coffee could be 'brewed' or made into the aforementioned coffeeballs, to be consumed at a 'Coffee House' workshop (multi dwarf possible?) or simply just eaten/drunk as normal.

I WILL GET BACK TO YOU ALL!

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Thank you all so much. I'm not fluent in any of the raws, if that explains my apprehension for modding. I'm very happy that someone was able to bring this to life.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Alright! *cracks knuckles loudly* Let's slap this bad boy in and see how she handles.

[Reelya]

Oops I had a typo in one of the "START" values for the "comedown" syndrome bits. Editing the old post. Should have been "START:50" not "START:0"

You might want to see how long 0 to 50 is for the "caffeine high", and the "comedown" lasts from 50 to 75, so see how long that lasts.
