The Heartland Oil Fields have kind of sat there as set dressing and I think it would actually be pretty cool to see them actually have a mechanical use. While we don’t have a lot of jobs focused on industrial machinery yet (though I do think when Saint Denis is supported, it should be looked into—canning warehouses for instance), making it so you have to use lamp oil to use your lantern sort of like you do with matches and cigarettes/cigars would be cool. Heating would be a bit redundant at this point, and consistent gasoline usage is way too far off, using oil byproducts in some medicinal crafting recipes would be cool too, if it’s something doctor/nurse RPers are interested in.
Looking into a more interactive brewing script as we speak.
We'll probably, as the suggestion suggests, make all these yield multiple bottles in one go.
The reduction in uses was to prevent using them 4 times then selling them off to a fence. We gave it a fun effect with it that was the primary reason to lower the multi-use too, as we've seen people use consumables in rather creative ways during combat.
