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.

Let me alter that. I'll post results.

[Reudh]

So the time it takes for the full coffee effect (both high and crash) is roughly 75 Urists, give or take a few based on resistance. There's 1200 Urists in one day.

Therefore, 1200 / 24 = 50 Urists / hr.

So the coffee high will last roughly an hour in DF time, followed by a half hour crash. I think I'll extend that to 100:150 based on my own experiences with coffee.

A syndrome that lists its effect as starting at "5" means that for all but the fastest characters, you will begin feeling the effects as soon as you take a step. "50" means 50 time units (or about five steps), and "500" reliably suggests that you'll be able to stagger all the way back to the hospital before your brain pours out of your ears.

You think there could be a way to continue the high without the crash, resembling an addiction? I ask because, once again, I'm no rawmancer. Or is there no code in place for something resembling that yet?

[Reudh]

You can make syndromes that have no end. I don't think there's something that would allow for an addiction, short of having it cause a series of stronger and stronger syndromes over a staggered period and having another food clear the bad syndrome.

To bad. Could you make the high cancel out the crash?

[Reudh]

Well, as it stands currently, the crash reduces the agility and other mental stats to 80% temporarily, while the caffeine high raises it back to 120%. I don't think they overlap, if say.... a dwarf consumes another coffee drink (perhaps at a coffee house workshop to force them to apply the syndrome) it simply refreshes the syndrome back to the start.

That's exactly what I was asking. Interesting.

I am picking. Can't seem to find it. I'm playing a saltwater swamp if that makes any difference. I also entered it into the standard plants portion at the bottom.

[Reudh]

Code: [Select]

[DRY]
[BIOME:FOREST_TROPICAL_DRY_BROADLEAF]
[BIOME:SHRUBLAND_TROPICAL]
I believe this means it can be found or grown during Summer and Spring, in the Tropical Shrubland or Broadleaf Forest biomes only.

Basically; a broadleaf forest can be found if you have these trees growing:

Sorry. Missed that portion. Yeah thanks. Rerollng.

I've seen mods that had cofee before, and I've also added it myself, but syndromes make a new world of difference.  My personal taste was to make an alcoholic version of coffee called cofea(based on a real world drink), and leave it a surface plant so it would have to be imported.

[Reudh]

Without syndromes, coffee would be little more than a glorified alcohol.
