[RELEASE] Vanilla Brewing Expanded

 Vanilla Brewing Expanded is an alcohol-oriented module in “Vanilla Cuisine Expanded” from the Vanilla Expanded team, notably Sarg Bjornson, Oskar Potocki and Chowder. Whilst other mods such as Vanilla Plants Expanded and Vanilla Fishing Expanded work well as standalone, due to technical limitations Vanilla Brewing Expanded requires the Core cooking mod.

We made sure to keep the mechanics of this mod intuitive without ruining the spirit of vanilla gameplay. All elements offer unique advantages and disadvantages, enhancing the depth of the game. With 7 unique, new alcohol types, you can now tailor your colonists’ drinking habits to your liking, with each alcohol having a unique production chain, buffs, downsides and uses.

A widely requested feature - tea and coffee, has also been added, allowing you to brew an immunity boosting hot tea, or whip out hot and iced coffees that help with staying awake and provide help against hypothermia and heat stroke respectively. Cigarettes and cigars also make an appearance, very addictive but incredibly helpful in stressful situations.

A new mixology research becomes available, allowing you to create a brand new bar workbench, where your best bartenders can whip out cocktails combining various alcohols and soft drinks that also come included in the package. Each alcohol gives the cocktail a unique trait, which means you can essentially brew alcoholic potions for any situation.

Our systems are heavily moddable and support a variety of pre-existing mods. With Vanilla Factions Expanded - Settlers and Vanilla Factions Expanded - Medieval you will be able to utilise chemshine and wine in cocktail recipes, whilst Vanilla Plants Expanded allows you to create cider, a cheap, easy to make beer alternative. Finally, RimBees adds mead.

We hope you will appreciate what we have created and remember, drink responsibly!
