Coffee Brewery

The Coffee Brewery is a late-game production building that converts logs and water into Coffee, a high-value comfort resource used to satisfy advanced Beaver needs. It appears in later technology tiers and integrates into large settlements that maintain steady supplies of raw materials and water. The building requires placement on firm ground and connection to the settlement’s water network and log supply to operate continuously.

The Coffee Brewery consumes logs as its primary fuel/input and uses water in production cycles. Each completed production cycle yields Coffee at a rate designed to serve dozens to hundreds of advanced Beavers when scaled appropriately; a single brewery produces sufficient Coffee for hundreds of Iron Teeth. Because Coffee is a luxury resource with a strong positive effect on Beaver morale and productivity, the brewery is typically run only after the settlement has stable food and housing, and when sufficient forest and water management are in place to support its inputs without compromising basic needs.

• Situate the Coffee Brewery near reliable log stockpiles and accessible water sources. Connecting it to a Pumping Station or placing it adjacent to a water conduit avoids production pauses.
• Prioritize fuel and input logistics: ensure constant delivery of logs and water so the brewery does not sit idle. Use additional logging camps and storage yards to buffer supply.
• Scale production to population demand. One brewery supplies Coffee for hundreds of Iron Teeth; avoid building excessive breweries that consume logs needed elsewhere.
• Consider power and space: the brewery occupies valuable build area in developed settlements. Plan layouts so transportation to and from warehouses is efficient to reduce Beaver travel time.
• Use the brewery as a late-stage morale booster. Build when basic needs (food, housing, hygiene) are secure, so Coffee’s benefit compounds an already-stable settlement rather than masking shortages.
