Gluttony - Food and Drink Overhaul

Gluttony

Food is no longer something you devour mid combat. You can now enjoy a good meal and drink long before heading out into combat, knowing being will fed and hydrated will help you perform.

Features

All food and drinks have had their restore health removed. Food will now offer 4 tiers of benefits: 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% health for 30 minutes. On top of existing effects which all be 30 minutes too now. (This effect does not stack.) Alcoholic Drinks will offer 4 tiers of benefits: 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% persuasion chance for 15 minutes. On top of existing effects which all be 15 minutes too now. Some Non-Alcoholic Drinks had tiered increased O2 added instead of no other effects. All existing effects for food and drinks have been increased to match for 30 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. Heart+ no longer gives increase health but 1% healing for 30 seconds. Produce and butter gives no benefits. It's for cooking!

How does it play?

Now when you find food, you will find various tiers, usually related to the cost and rarity of the food. It's not just another piece of food, but you may need a higher tier later to get you through tougher encounters.

Playing as a Chef with Gastronomy can be quite powerful as the only reliable source of 20% health will be high tier crafted food. A few very expensive served meals out there can be found but they still won't compete with the buffs and health of good home made food.

All alcohol now provides the benefit of making you better at talking to people. And most tiers are now a slight buff from previous persuasion chances. Very high class alcohol will provide the greatest benefit if you really need to schmooze someone, dish out for the best. But if you want to have a chat with anyone difficult, at least have a beer.

Non-alcoholic drinks are now just generally more useful, I've barely touched them because proving long buffs to O2 capacity, recovery, and water specifically only doing action use, are all useful to have because they will last long enough in encounters to matter.

Compatibility

Will not be compatible with anything that touches Food and Drink records.

Compatible with any sustenance mods or the vanilla sustenance system. All the same effects for that are still there.
