Coffee Fiend can be found on Tier 2 (Advanced tier) of the Social skill tree. It helps in a lot of different scenarios (much like real life coffee), whether it be outpost work, conversation or long hauling. It's also a very nice skill for roleplay, encouraging you to make regular trips to your local coffee shop. It uses the icon of Gastronomy.

You can not drink multiple TerraBrews to stack buffs. There also may be some issue with the buffs description displaying on the TerraBrew items themselves, but the buffs will always work provided you have the necessary skill rank - this is a Starfield limitation out of my control unfortunately.

This skill is compatible with most other mods, however ones that make modifications to TerraBrew drinks might conflict. I'm slightly biased but I would recommend pairing it with my skill overhaul - Valiant.

Let me know if you find any bugs or have any critique, especially on a skill like this where it's hard to find balance. I love hearing your feedback and ideas.
