Coffee in game?

[Rakkasan]

We have beer in game which, unless you want your character to enjoy the misery of being mostly blind and out of stamina for a while, serves only to tame Chalicotheriums (as far as I know).

I'm not sure if there are other drinks we can make, but I was thinking that coffee is definitely missing. Maybe the devs could add coffee. Nothing but good can come from adding coffee. Lol.

It could serve as a weaker stimulant that could be made at lower levels perhaps. 

It might even be used to tame a special dino. Surely the Megalosaurus would be a great choice. Lol.

Anyway, again, however you slice it, coffee can only make the game better.

Now espresso..... Hmmm. That's another idea altogether.

The beer also staves off the cold for a bit... If you think that having a bit of warmth is worth the blurry vision, lack of stamina and ultimately a hangover, then beer is a good choice. 

To try to include coffee into such a realistically accurate survival game is sheer madness (I often find myself naked in unfamiliar lands, surrounded by strange creatures - I come from Glasgow, where you haven’t really lived if you can’t say that)!!  Sure, I love coffee.  I’m main-lining it ask i type,  I chose an espresso machine over a PS4 when they first came out.  My children are called Arabica and Hounduras Single Origin.  I have been awake since 1995.  If the devs added coffee then all I would have is a 4x4 hut with a coffee machine inside.  No dinos.  No artefacts. Lots of coffee.... and a circular rut where I had been running around, high on caffeine...

In fact, I think that you are being completely selfish to me with your request.  Bloomin coffee....grumble grumble..... ?

A Scotsman (Scots...uh...woman?). Awesome. And a sense of humor at that. Most excellent! Hilarious actually. 

When you started naming your kids and talking about being awake since 1995? I lost it! Good stuff.

And of course, since you spoke of the utter ruin that would descend on your digital life in game at the introduction of coffee....

I will work all the harder to bring it to pass! Muhahahahahaha. Ha, ha. Ha. Ha. Umm. Yeah.

Sorry. Got a bit nervous there. Saw a Scots...er.. person, grumbling. Makes me a teeny bit nervous. Yeah.

Beer also reduces the damage you take

Sad part is that coffee and bacon are already in the game on primitive plus... sucks they dont just add it to the rest of the game...

my tribemate and i tried primitive plus on single player to pass time and its got alot of nice things that regular ark doesnt.

I am, in fact, a Scotsman.  However,  given today’s current climate regarding people’s sexual identity, equality and gender classification, I am a Scotsperson.  I identify as being a heterosexual man trapped in a heterosexual males body, have a wife and kids but sometimes fantasise about being a single, heterosexual man trapped in an ark type facility with strange and bizarre creatures as my only companions. My fantasy doesn’t include caffeine though.  

 Your anxious fear of a grumbling scot is well founded too.  I was thinking about kinda stabbing you a wee bit (just after I’ve said “kin yer ma sew pal? Well teller tae stitch this!”) and taking your wallet after your selfishness, but I couldn’t find a long enough knife. Think yourself lucky. ???? ?

Great big confession. Poor American lad always wanted to be Scottish, or at least of Scotch descent.

Fact is, having been somewhat illegally adopted (long story) in 1970, I have no idea who my birth parents are. Could be that I have Scottish blood. Even a lot. Rumor is that my original first name was Byron (now Brian). I'll likely never know in this life. My middle name is indeed Scott, and I went to Highland elementary school.

Grew up in a city with a great deal of Scottish origin/roots/whatever. 

John Knox was one of the greatest preachers ever.

Studied the history of Scotland.

I dinna ken fer certain but its possible I pull off a great Scottish accent. I think so. And I know the difference between a Scottish and an Irish accent, which I think most Americans don't.

 I know that the saltire is the same thing as St. Andrew's cross.

And a few other things.

Just wish you Scots hadn't invented golf. Big stain on your history. Lol. Jk.

There now. We're friends. So since I see you putting down that ugly dirk, I'll lay down my M-4, and we can both live long, happy, productive lives?

Hmmm. Or does the beer just make you think you're taking less damage? lol

[TINYMAN]

I don't know but for PvP beer is great for rocket running and c4 running with good armor. 

[Rakkasan]

Ah yes. Drunken PVP'ers. I do believe this might have been one of the items on my extensive list of reasons I don't PVP. Hmmm. Let me check...........

Mhhmmm.

Hmmm.

Yes.

Yep. There it is. Item number 2,456,230,456,345,979.14567221.

"Because PVPers drink beer."

Yep. Thought so.

There is no other test that would solidify your pict ancestry than finding a carbonated drink (soda) called Irn-Bru; It CANNOT be Iron-brew.  Anyway, find a can or more preferably a glass bottle and drink.  If you think that it is the best liquid that has every entered your body then you truly are of Scots descent.  If it tastes a bit weird, then unfortunately you are of English ilk. Sorry if it’s the latter... that would suck major donkey spheres.
