Simple Immersion – VBE Coffees and Teas

This mod is another installment in my simple immersion series, this time focusing on coffee and tea making with Vanilla Brewing Expanded – Coffees and Teas.
Main features:
- The espresso machine has been retextured (toggleable via an optional patch in the VFE mod settings).
- A new bench has been added called the "tea counter". There is an electrical version and a fueled version that has a more medieval vibe.
- All tea recipes have been moved to the tea counter. You can’t make them with the espresso machine anymore. That’s for coffee only.
- Both the espresso machine and the tea counter have been given unique sound effects with granular effects for a nice feel. The espresso machine will even choose between the regular espresso machine hum and a milk steaming sound depending on what drink is being made.
- Tea recipes have been split out into a separate research project which does not require electricity. This gives medieval colonies access to the tea variants via the fueled tea counter.
- The espresso machine research now requires electricity research (you can’t use it if you don’t have electricity anyway).
- Various changes to recipe names, descriptions and wording for improved clarity and to reflect the changes made by the mod.
- No balance changes to recipes (other than the requirement to build the dedicated bench) and no added drinks. Just simple changes to make the implementation feel more logical and immersive.
- Patches included for the extra drinks added by Vanilla Plants Expanded and Vanilla Cooking Expanded.
If you’re feeling generous, and would like to buy me a coffee, that would be immensely appreciated! it helps keep me motivated to make quality content 🙂

Q: My espresso machine broke and doesn’t make tea anymore!
A: You have to build the dedicated tea counter now.
Q: "This sound is not right/sounds weird"
A: I tried hard to make them fit as well as possible but ultimately I’m not a sound engineer and don’t have the expertise of one. Let me know if anything sounds weird or too quiet/loud, or just wrong.
