VGP Revised Caffeine

Returns coffee to it's original rest value (20% rest), adds in caffeine (coffee) tolerance and addiction, and allows you to manage caffeine intake in a drug policy.

From the moment I began using caffeine in RimWorld, I saw the potential in it. As a (once) avid coffee drinker, I knew coffee well, both for better, and for worse.
In the early days of VGP's coffee, it was far too powerful, which prompted me to make this mod to balance it out in a way that makes sense. Keeping the power, but at a cost.

Now, your pawns will enjoy their cups of coffee a little too much, and become addicted if you use it too much. The chance to be addicted is quite low, and it takes a long time to build an addiction, though.
Before this however, they'll build up a tolerance, making caffeine not as useful unless used in moderation.

- Add caffeine to sodas from VGP Garden Drinks
- Look in to adding it to tea (I was considering setting up mod options, so that people can choose to enable or disable this.)
- Add a stronger variation of coffee maybe.


Because caffeine is now classed as a drug, those with any drug related traits will impact their time with coffee.
Teetotallers will refuse to drink it, for example.

I care a lot about balance, and because this mod is new, it's almost certainly going to be unbalanced some way. I try to make my mods overpowered rather than underpowered, and adjust it down with time.
If you have a suggestion, please leave it in the appropriate thread, and we'll be able to discuss it!

Of course, this mod requires VGP Vegetable Garden to function properly.


A spoiler about the intricacies about how addiction, withdrawal and tolerance work in this mod are in the Discussions tab of this mod. Don't read it if you like to test these functions, or play in a more free-form way.
