CAFFEINE! - Soda and Coffee Improvements

Baby's first (published) mod!

This is a simple mod I dreamed up when I realized that by default the Coffee and Soda both just give you health, despite being known for giving energy in real life. A bit of file-diving and a quick XML edit later, and drinks in SE now have CAFFEINE!

Cosmic Coffee now gives you 15% energy over 5 seconds, and Clang Kola will give you 5% energy and 5% health over 5 seconds.

I tried to keep the outputs low so that medkits and energy kits still have some use (they give 25% health or energy over 5 s respectively) but I wanted the drinks to feel useful in addition to their RP value.

A little side effect of this mod is that owners of whichever DLC has vending machines in it have a way to get portable energy refills without having to stop by an economy station. Just plop down (or weld up) a vending machine, dust off those Space Credits, and you can get portable power from the comfort of home!

Now, I'll be frank, I threw this together in like 2 hours (including the sweet screenshots) and put little-to-no thought into real balancing. I suppose if you are super paranoid about players with DLC having an advantage and are ignoring the fact that by default both drinks restore a bit of health anyway, this mod may not be for you. I thought it was a nice way to add some variety and extra gameplay value to items that are otherwise mainly for filling out cargo containers. It adds a little bit of realism and some value that the vanilla game doesn't really make use of.


Also, if you're listening Keen, it was like 3 lines of code to change, HMU if you're interested and I won't even charge royalties :P
