I've got a few Carnivore civs for Furry Fortress. The Carnivore civs have "Grower" jobs disabled, and the _CROPS and _GARDENS trade tags disabled, the idea is that their culture never invented farming. They do have plant gathering and brewing, so they can make booze once they arrive at a suitable site, but this means they cannot start making booze until they arrive on site, which makes it very dangerous to try embarking in places like deserts or glaciers, which is annoying, because carnivores should be ideal for colonizing places without plants.
So I want some kind of alternative booze or drink for carnivores. Part of my problem is that I don't completely understand what makes things available for import/embarkation, and I don't completely understand what's necessary to make some of these reactions. It would also make sense to try and prevent some of these beverages from being made by non-carnivore civs.
The first solution should already be available to them, Mead. I actually don't understand why Mead is not available for trade or embarkation. Fixing that would be a great start.
Being able to import or embark with barrels of water would also be acceptable. Maybe a reaction for distilled water.
Another product is Blaand, fermented milk. The carnivores do possess livestock, and the ability to milk them, so they should be able to produce Blaand, but I don't know how to do that.
A fantasy solution is Blood Wine, fermented blood, which those weirdos are constantly extracting and shipping in caravans. Alternatively, the ability to just drink the blood (which some RL carnivores like lions do) would be acceptable.
In the same vein, alcohol made from venom is a real life thing, apparently the ethanol denatures the toxin and you're just left with crazy tasting booze.
Looking up "weird types of booze" there also seem to be many eccentric drinks based on soaking small animals in booze. So making booze out of captured vermin could also work.
I guess I'd also be curious to know if I could modify the rate at which a race needs water. Humans are thirsty animals because we regulate or body temp with sweat, but I think most animals need less water than we do and some, like camels, need very little water and some, like gazelles and lions, can live off of the moisture in their food.
