[0.93.23] Cactus Rum

[Maeyanie]

I notice the recipe for Cactus Rum uses 2000 water and 100 cactus.
All other alcohol types are 100 water and 2000 of their other component.
This seems like a bug to me.

From what little i know about brewing (watched one video about homemade whiskey), Cactus Rum is the one done about right in terms of proportions here. Like in the mentioned video, they used 8 kilos of wheat and 30 liters of whater to get 3 liters 96% alcohol after second distillation.

It's certainly possible that it's actually the others which should be changed, I just went with the one stand-out being the most likely. Either way it sounds like a bug.

Edit:
Actually, water barrels in the game are 10 kg each, so that 30:8 ratio would make for 3 water to 8 cactus. Assuming it's similar for whiskey and rum (I have no clue). Which still makes the 1 water to 20 cactus (10 l to 20 kg) closer to reality than current 20 water to 1 cactus (200 l to 1 kg).

I just meant that current ratio does at least keeps "more water less ingredient" thing in it Still farming and cooking require tons of balancing, so i assume it's all WIP.

Also when i've been talking of proportion i implied 1:1 ratio, like, not 1 item to 1 item, but rather as 1 liter to 1 kilo, so if one would adjust rum recipe ingame, they'd want 3 water barrels to 8 cacti which in game numbers, i believe, would look like 300:800.

But yet again, assming this formula is kosher, that'd make for 3 liters of pure ethanol, and around 9 liters of less clean, but still strong stuff. Which has to be watered later, so there would be even more booze. And we're getting 1 liter of rum, grog, etc, so it's all tricky. Game economy balance is a beeatch.

Yeah, it sure is.
