Guides/Vineyards and Wine Guide

by Pascalito and Ariella

= Vineyard Spacing

Plant blocks of vineyards 20x20 coords apart. From experience this coord rule of thumb catches most flavors. Flavor areas can overlap each other so that one vineyard may express up to 5 different flavors over time or none at all.

Supplies to have in quantity

You might want a warehouse exclusively for Wine Supplies.

• Boards, Nails and Rope to build vineyards. 40 Boards, 25 Nails and 12 Rope each vineyard.
• Wine bottles. Can produse batches of 12 in glaziers bench. 21 grapes per bottle.
• Barrel taps. Made with Iron Knife and Carving 3.
• Label papers from pappy paper and ink?. Or be smart and give it a good name from the start so you don't have to relabel.

Goals and Knowing Which Vine Type to Plant

Vine Name	Tending Table Link	Genome	Used For	Gene Sets	Negatives
Contemplation	Contemplation Tending Table	KRYYRGYROGGGGGRYYROK	Quality - Expressing flavors over time. Winebook 1 needs higher quality vines.	2 Quality gene sets of RYYR	Low grape count due to no Grape gene sets (makes less bottles of wine)
Frivolity	Frivolity Tending Table	KRROOYYGGGGGYYYGGGYYYRROOYYGGGGGGYRK - will be corrected	Higher Tannin from color for chemists to make higher volume and types of spirits. Higher Sugar for higher alcohol for winebooks (fall over from being drunk) and chemists for spirits. Spirits are needed for Test of Festivals. Higher Acid expresses flavors better and maybe faster development of alcohol.	1 Acid OYYG 2 Color RROOYY 2 Sugar YYY	Low grape count due to no Grape gene sets (makes less bottles of wine)

From the table above you can decide which vines to plant that will suit your goals and needs. Plant extra vineyards together if you want more bottles of wine from vines. Consider that Test of Festivals asks for certain vintages of wine, Body Monuments ask for wines of certain flavors, certain winebooks ask for flavors, amount of alcohol, Test of Vigil asks for certain wines, chemists need high sugar and tannin wines so having more bottles can help others too.

Tending

Refer to the tending table links in the above chart and print them out. Use Printable Version under Toolbox on the left side bar. You may have to do Print Preview to have All Pages print out. Also printout Abbreviation Key to Tend Tables.

WARNING: Do not let grapes go to zero! DO NOT LET VIGOR GO TO ZERO OR A NEGATIVE VALUE or your vine will die.

First, take out the tending table for the vine you are working with. Let's say you decide on Contemplation to have higher quality for seeing flavors. You will now make your personal tend table for Contemplation for this specific goal.

You will always look at the Grapes column and maximize grape count in tandem with your other goals.

First State we look at is Sagging. Find positive values in both Grapes and Quality columns:

Tend Type	(G)rapes	(Q)uality	(Vigor)
AS	+3	0	-12
MG	+2	+2	-11
SV	+3	-7	-7
TL	0	-1	-3

Notice that TL is also included because Sagging happens to be a sucky tend. TL will probably get chosen because Vigor value loss is minimized and Grape loss is zero while Quality has a minimum loss of -1. Or you might decide to use SV to get more grapes and take a middle of the road Vigor loss while thinking that you are maximizing Quality in the other tends enough to take a -7 Quality loss on this one tend.

Next we'll look at each State and decide which would be best.

Wilting

Tend Type	(G)rapes	(Q)uality	(Vigor)
MG	+4	-3	-2
SL	+1	-6	-1
SV	-1	+1
TV	+2	-4	-9
TL	-3	+2	-2
) SV and TV have too high a decrease in Vigor. SL has too high a decrease in Quality. So the choice will be between MG if you want to go for more grapes or TL if you want to lose some grapes but gain a little in Quality and neither takes much loss in Vigor.
