📋 About This Mod

Coffee snobs of the Mojave rejoice! For too long we've been forced to endure the indignity—the sheer insult—of asking for a cup of coffee from vendors and severely burned war criminals and receive not an authentic cup of good old fashioned joe, but to receive nothing. Or, worse than nothing, they give us what appears to be an entirely solid mixture of honey mesquite pods and tobacco leaves lightly roasted and placed into a coffee mug! What kind of sick joke is this?

Well, no one has to pretend to laugh at this joke anymore. I've made this mod to bring real coffee to the wasteland, because I like coffee and like drinking coffee in both real life and in video games.

Three versions of this mod are available. You only need to download one version.

"Light Roast"

  • []Adds Coffee (Weight 0. 2, Value 5) as a consumable item with the following effects:

~ +5 Hit Points.

~ +1 Intelligence for 2 minutes.

~ +1 Perception for 2 minutes.

~ -50 Sleep (Hardcore Only)

~ +10 Dehydration (Hardcore Only)

    []Changes the recipe for Mojave Mesquite Tea to require 1 Purified Water in addition to its usual ingredients.
