First thanks for using this mod. I created it for personal use so I can do something other than fighting after several hundred hours on this great game, but it's nice to see people enjoying it, and I also appreciate comments and sugestions as I can improve the mod or fix issues.
I just wanted to write this quick-post to make you know that the latest versions I published are somewhat important, as they change drastically the way the ciderhouse works. Previously you could harvest only a few apples per day, and cider orders from jarls and citizens, and also the demand on the ciderhouse, was very unbalanced. For this reason I decreased the bottles ordered some versions ago.
With the latest patches I made some important changes that I hope make this more fun. Decanting process is now 1 day instead of 2, so once apples are pressed and moved to decanter, next day you can empty the decanter and move cider to a barrel, while also put more wort on the decanter and also press apples again. With the new Apple Harvest skill and new values for apples per day, you get a LOT more cider each day. So I also increased the bottle amount ordered by jarls, etc. again.
I still have to see if it's too much, or still a little, but in any case now you have a reason to visit the ciderhouse daily: harvest apples (while increasing the harvest skill), press apples, move liquid to decanter, move the previous day's liquid from decanter to a barrel, and go emptying barrels to the bottle machine as they finish fermentation. Previously, with few apples, you would have just one barrel full, and by the time you got enough apples again, that barrel would have the fermentation finished. Now you can fill one barrel each day with a good cider amount.
thanks for the fix on the apple trees and Decanter, with the previous update I was getting like 240 apples per tree, that seemed a bit excessive LOL. Thanks again for the continued updates for one of my favorite mods ever.
@Fallhammer: Maybe you didn't harvest for several days. Anyway, 240 apples excessive? Well, you get 200 now if you have harvest skill at max (100). Not sure if it's too much but it means that without upgrades (14 trees) you get 2800 apples per day, meaning 560 cider bottles, to be used for orders, ciderhouse, or personal use.
I did a test pick on the first day, and by the time i picked the last tree it was giving me 240, not really complaining at all, but it is nice you are trying to balance.
Uhm hate to break it to you but I tested that the barrel can take more than 2000 cider each day: can you later patch this so the barrel really has a 2000 bottle limit? Also you don't actually get 10400 aplles a day with the 14 + 24 trees upgrade (assuming you still have 200 apples per day). Making you bottle count 2080 bottles a day so uhm you do not have to make a patch for this actually since tje ammount of apples you can put in is up to the player but if this is something you have overlooked and need to fix (you do not really have to do it but if you really want go in this direction) you can make it so that the container only accepts 2080 aplles each day. The choice is up to you: you can also try it the form of an optional file to input it for those who want a system like this for Realism: There is an limit to how many apples can be processed in a press: depends on the size of the Press.
Hi! I've been creating a few patches for the sse port of this mod and would like to upload them for people who might need them (jk's whiterun outskirt and CC tundra homestead for now, I'm making one for fellhammer forge and some other city overhauls).
I've read the scibbled note and the journal, but I still don't own the store. I don't have any auto looter. I've spoken to the steward, and nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the mod. Still nothing.
Is there a way I can all it my console? Any other ideas?
I've picked up the book by the door and read to the part that says if you're reading this the cider house is yours but still get the message that I can't do that because I don't own blah blah.
No auto looter installed, as I see from past posts that caused someone an issue.
Dude! You SERIOUSLY need to update this mod. I'm super impressed by the ingenuity and detail that went into making this. Major kudos. If updated... I'd love to see (once you've fully upgraded the CIderhouse), more people you can hire. Like an orchard worker to pick & store the apples... and a Brewmaster to make & bottle the cider. And as an owner, you should be able to hire a butcher & chef to prep/cook the food. And lastly, a manager to oversee your operation, send out orders (instead of doing it manually), collect $$$, etc. You can add on a storeroom for empty bottles and your bottled product(s) for shipment, a storage bin for the apples. I see many possibilities. Sure wish I had your modding skill.

Could I get the permission to do so?
Thanks for this great mod :3

Any thoughts?
