Since this mod has been reported working in 1.5 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692

works in 1.5, just needs the version tag

Yep!

Does this work with Mead, Wine and Chemshine from VFE Vikings/Medieval/Settlers?

@Kayedon, cool, thank you.

Yes. This does not change anything about alcohol, except reducing a pawns likelihood of grabbing a beer from a weight of 4 to a weight of 2.5, and adding it as it's own joy Kind to reduce the likelihood of a constantly maxed out Chemical consumption joy.

The chemical alcohol remains exactly the same.

Can my pawns still become alcoholics?

New modules have been released! Check mod description for links. :)

baseChance was increased to 2.5, and name was changed to JoyKind: Alcohol, but you shouldn't need to re-add the mod.

Hey! I know I promised additional JoyKinds "soon", but after experiencing some interesting issues, I pushed back the release of all of them. I am releasing an updated version of this mod that knocks down the "appeal" (<baseChance>2</baseChance>) from 4 to 2, as I noticed my pawns were doing nothing but knocking back beers despite all other choices being available, to the point of being "bored" and becoming addicted. In testing, this seems to be a good chance, do let me know if you notice pawns being a bit... generous in their selection of alcohols, and I'll roll the rest out sooner rather than later.

I will be leaving the chemicals I haven't already made something for (I have several unreleased), simply to not make chemical interest/fascination a death sentence.

i wouldn't mind all of them being separate joykinds. and more options is good

I'm currently testing: Caffeine, Tobacco/Nicotine, Smokeleaf, and Ambrosia. I will definitely consider merging them all into a "light drugs" recreation style, though! Not like there's anything stopping me from releasing a half dozen mods in a row!

Hmm. My reason for breaking the light drugs into their own recreation style would be to reduce "wasting" recreation. Some drugs nearly fill up the entire meter on their own, and cap Chemical Consumption with it for a long time, especially at higher expectations. So by separating each light drug, it means smoking a cigar (Vanilla Brewing Expanded) daily doesn't turn your beer into a barely useful mood boost.

As a suggestion: call it "light drugs" and count any sort of light drug in it.

Forgot about tobacco! Definitely tackling that, too.

great mod. id love if it separated hard drugs from smokeleaf/VBE tobacco too

Hmm, have you tried Leaf Like Life? It let's you set most of the stats for smokeleaf joints.

And nice Futurama reference. ☕

@Kayedon Ooh, I'm quite looking forward to it! Can I drink 100 coffees in a day and attain enlightenment??
Most of the drugs I've been alright with the effects but I've never liked that a joint in Rimworld could be fatal...its' Reefer Madness I tell you.

Keep up the great work! I like seeing your releases, I know it's always quality work.

@Hohen! Thank you! I do plan on making one of these for caffeine, it is currently in testing and should be released within 24 hours. I can quite easily throw one together for Smokeleaf, but that's as far down the drug tree as I think I'm willing to go.

Spectacular! Always been a fan of your work. Do you plan to make any more of these?

I would love to see something similar done with smokeleaf. I really like this approach and smokeleaf, even if it's a space variant, makes little sense.
