I added a prototype tavern at my base in T1 pieces and the Debaucheries of Darketo set. I’m wondering what kind of dimensions we’ll be working with. I’m not sure that I want to progress in the Beta far enough to build one (for a game I am playing in parallel in the release version and actively building a base for already).
I wasn’t clear if this part was completely implemented and in the beta yet or not. If anyone has made one in game, how does this size compare to what I would need with the dedicated pieces? And how does it all work? What tier purge is needed to get a bartender NPC?
i went in SP amd the station is about the size about 2.5x2.5 founds and will fit in a 1 high base. All other pieces are decor and placeables, so the tavern size is up to you.
Ahah, thanks! So activity only happens at the actual bar and all the other NPCs they showed were placed… Makes sense. I thought maybe there were seats or tables with seats they also showed up at.
Well what do you know it did work. A l2 dancer- 50 gold and a l1 fighter- 10 gold but couldnt hire them - i clicked on them to hire but nothing happened.
Weird. I could not get mine to fit in a 1 high base. Maybe if you use sloped roofs but I definitely couldn’t put a floor above.
I also got people coming in and sitting at tables/chairs that were not the bar but I couldn’t hire them. To be fair, I could only hire 1 of the 3 at the bar either (even though they were all in coarse clothing).
Cool I didn’t think about looking in single player, I’ve never used it before. Now I have spawned one the of the tavern bars for myself. Thanks for letting me know about that.
yeah, i just went off the look of it. i just plopped it down and adminned the bar keep thrall. Didnt follow up on it. Do you know if itnis like star metal, in that you have to be present logged into SP game for the spawn timer to be active? On officialsni know timers are always active, but SP has some turn off when not around/logged in. I can check today if i get a chance. Been 2 days so it will either be a full bar or as was.
Also, were the chairs special (didnt check admin to see ifnl there were any new “tavern” ones), or are they the normal placeables that are spawning patrons?
Suggestion, there should be a “fuel” spot for the bar, and depending on the drink in it, certain thralls will visit for recruitment. This would add more depth to it. Maybe down the road lol.
Normal placeables spawning them in. I put down a nemedian table and that long bench with a chair on the short side. Both the bench and chair had patrons that came and sat, as well as the barstools.
Yeah, fuel would be an interesting concept where certain alcohols are more likely to attract certain customers. Definitely a good use for the nearly useless alcohol system we currently have.
The other option could be that you’re more likely to get patrons from factions that live close to your base with other factions rarer (but still likely). Kind of similar to the old purge, but still with the chance to get stuff otherwise. This would also still make it advantageous to visit other areas to recruit different thralls.
Archers will not move. Meaning if someone reaches the top, theu dont melee fight. So they are turrets 100%.
No slot on the post for extra arrows.
Like cauldron, must place as a follower and then assign.
Can place close together, as long as there is a post.
Tavern.
So far the npcs that rng spawn in on normal chairs ( Not thebbar) have been just ambiance, and not interactable. Might be a bug or intended.
Randoms so far at the actual bar can rng a fighter/archer to recruit for gold as a new follower. Does not go to inv. It immediately becomes followet.
If you place your follower in a chair, stool, etc, they can be attacked amd wont fight back.
Bug, i sat at bar , did emote (did not animate) and when i got up i stayed in the bar emote and had to relog in.
For fun i am trying the thrones to see if anything spawns in those.
Also, the actual station size is 2 x 1.5 x 1.5 High.
I tried placing thralls into thrones like chairs and they will not go in so I suspect that the ambient ones will not see it as a chair either. Curious to see your results.
Looks to me like it would fit in 3 wide by 2 deep pretty comfortably. Do you recall the names of the other pieces off hand, I wasn’t able to spawn tavern table and tavern bench.
The bar should have beverage slots you need to fill up in order for the npc´s to appear. Once your out of beverages or until you put beverages in the bar it´s closed. The type of beverage you put in the bar should determine which faction is mostly about to come. If for example you put rum in the bar pirates should be attracted to come to your tavern until the rum is empty.
This way alcohol finally could be usefull again. Also a player wouldn´t constantly have to take out the bartender in order to handle the bar.
Tavern got a separate tab in the building menu. It’s likely that more bars will be added in the future - else that wouldn’t have made much sense.
Will they be only cosmetic? Will they attract different patrons, e. g. better dressed then the unwashed hordes that currently overrun the place? Will Conan ever switch from that dumb in Sepermeru to a properly built bar?
