wilsonaka Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It's a two-fer. 1. This is very simple. Add the ability to make more than 1 cup of coffee or tea when utilizing the cooking pot. It's 4x the capacity of a can, I think we could reasonably expect it to make more. 2. Excessive consumption of coffee gives you the "jitters". Aim is affected (much like freezing/shivering, maybe not quite as dramatic), and you lose your ability to craft effectively (time penalty or refusal to craft). Have a great day everybody! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I find myself disagreeing with the first. It's much bigger, and lets us boil more water, but I think it'd simply make loading yourself with a pile of coffee in a snap just too easy. I 100% agree with the "jitters". Good bit of challenge which will make abusing coffee still viable, but more risky instead of just an undeniably good way to get through stuff. Also, maybe the jitters could make sleeping harder? I'll explain. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a very cool detail I noticed is you character's fatigue would still drain like they were awake for 1 or 2 hours (can't remember which), and then begin filling up again. I realized that was Henry not falling asleep yet, and not a bug. That made teensy naps to infinitely stay above the "tired" status and all its drawbacks not possible. Now, I think powernapping is an essential, essential part of TLD, but having the jitters cause that, maybe 3 hours before you fall asleep and begin recovering, and having it drain you at the "passing time" rate would be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarinmedQ Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I really like part one! Part two would make sense as long as "overconsumption" is at least semi-realistic - 2 cups of coffee back to back wouldn't give me the jitters for example. If done right I think it'd be neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape88 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 From personal experience I only have issues when the only thing on my stomach is the caffeine source... That being said, what if caffeine jitters was a feature in the game comparable to cabin fever or hypothermia. Depending on the circumstances, your risk factor goes up the more coffee you drink and drinking coffee on an empty stomach would be riskier. Perhaps adding condensed milk would decrease the risk... Add in some sort of badge or feat connected to coffee consumption and it would be something of a challenge to use coffee appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was a literal opposite that would just mean less condition gained from sleep, if I'm remembering correctly. Is that what you had in mind?

Well those are all stimulants - Legal ones. I don't think we need separate gategories for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicManiac Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) I don't have much time to elaborate today... so I will just try to briefly sum up my view on the topic: I think it's good as is, and I kind of feel like those afflictions (both positive and negative) would approaching the threshold of wanting to add things just for the sake of adding more things. I just don't think the particular features discussed would add value to the game at all, and based on that I just don't think they'd be a necessary addition.

ThePhoenics Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 4 cups of coffee from one 'serve' of dry coffee would make some DAMN weak coffee. Also can i just rant about how cooked coffee doesnt degrade BUT DRIED COFFEE DOES? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
