A lightweight XML patch that lets you cook beer directly from hops, finally obsoleting that loathsome gimmick pipeline of brewery, wort, and fermentation barrels. /rant
Required Research:
- Brewing (obviously)
- Drug Production
Bills are added to the fueled/electric stove, drug table, and brewery (if you do want to use it).
- Required Skill: Cooking 6 (except at drug table)
- Bulk recipes included for both hops-/ and wort-brewing.
Issues
The drug table only allows "Crafting", not "Cooking"; Your brewers need to have crafting enabled to work at the drug table.
I don't know if I can fix this via XML.
To counter this limitation, I disabled the skill requirement for the drug table recipes...
Could be useful for letting your crafters earn some cooking exp, maybe?
Other Notes
I kept the vanilla conversion ratio of 25 hops -> 5 wort -> 5 beer:
The "fermentation" part is simulated via the work amount - although it might need tweaking; I just compared wort and other drugs and picked a (hopefully) reasonable number.
"Wort to beer"-recipe so the random wort x900 Randy keeps sending are actually not a hassle to use.
