Bartending
- Bartending * Drinks, Cocktails & Bar Equipment *
The Wasteland bar is part saloon, part clinic, part neutral ground. A bartender keeps people watered, caffeinated, drunk, and talking instead of shooting.
Bartending Basics
Most bartending is reagent mixing. Put the listed reagents into a glass, shaker, bottle, or other reagent container and the reaction will create the final drink automatically when the required ratios are present.
| Concept | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Reagent units | Recipes are measured in units, written as "u". | A 3u recipe can be scaled up by keeping the same ratio. |
| Shaker mixing | Use a shaker or glass to combine base liquors, juices, sodas, cream, and additives. | Reactions happen automatically once all reactants are present. |
| Heated drinks | Some drinks require minimum temperature. | Hot cocoa, hot ramen, teas, purified water, and a few dangerous drinks require heat. |
| Hazardous drinks | Some mixes use uranium, plasma, welding fuel, sulfuric acid, thermite, or medicine. | Serve with judgment. Several are novelty drinks more than sensible orders. |
Wasteland Water
Water is its own service line in the Wasteland. Dirty water quenches thirst but harms the drinker; filtered and clean water are safer.
| Product | Recipe | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Filtered Water | Charcoal (1u) + Dirty Water (1u) -> Filtered Water (1u) | Still mildly poisonous in reagent data, but much safer than dirty or irradiated water. |
| Clean Water | Heat Filtered Water (1u) to 373 K+ -> Water (1u) | Final purification step. |
| Dirty Water | Abraxo Cleaner (1u) + Irradiated Water (1u) -> Dirty Water (1u) | Dirty water causes radiation and poison damage. |
| Desalinated Water | Heat Salt Water (2u) to 374 K+ -> Water (1u) + Table Salt (1u) | Useful when stuck with salt water. |
Plant Teas
Plant teas all use the same core method: heat the listed extract with water at 354 K / 80 deg C minimum. Each 1u extract + 1u water produces 2u tea.
| Tea | Recipe | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Agave Tea | Agave Nectar Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Sweet tea; adds sugar while drinking. |
| Blackberry Tea | Blackberry Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Sweet berry tea. |
| Barrel Cactus Tea | Cactus Water Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Desert plant tea. |
| Brocflower Tea | Broc Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Heals minor Brute and Burn damage while drinking. |
| Datura Tea | Datura Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Poison profile: causes Asphyxiation damage. |
| Honey Mesquite Tea | Honey Mesquite Pod Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Sweet plant tea. |
| Mutfruit Tea | Mutfruit Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Wasteland fruit tea. |
| Nettle Tea | Nettle Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Herbal tea. |
| Prickly Pear Tea | Prickly Pear Fruit Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Sweet fruit tea. |
| Starlightberry Tea | Starlight Berry Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Sweet berry tea. |
| Tarberry Tea | Tarberry Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Sweet berry tea. |
| White Horsenettle Tea | White Horsenettle Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Inherits Datura Tea's poison behavior. |
| Xander Root Tea | Xander Extract (1u) + Water (1u) | Herbal root tea. |
| Fireant Nectar Tea | Fire Ant Nectar (1u) + Water (1u) | Heals Heat and Caustic damage while drinking. |
Wasteland Stock Drinks
These are bottled or premade drinks defined under Nuclear 14 entities and reagents. Most bottles hold 50u.
