An addon which introduces NPCs into the Zone who will barter exclusively with stubbies of beer. Beers will no longer be easily obtainable in future versions, leading to a beer based economy alongside the regular economy.
This addon adds a new NPC to the Hangar in the Garbage known as 'Heineken', a so-called Beer Economy Trader.
Version 0.2 changes;
- Changed Beerguy's name to Heineken.
- Changed Heineken's skin from CS to Loner
- Heineken no longer has a trade option. You can only exchange goods with him through the 'I've brought some beers' dialogue (only shows if you actually HAVE beers.)
- Made it so that beers are no longer easily obtainable throughout the Zone, turning them into a rare and valuable commodity.
- Beers are no longer sold by any traders
- All Stalkers have a small chance to drop one or more beers - higher ranked stalkers are slightly more likely.
- Stashes and dynamic spawn locations have a chance to have beers - about the same rate as artefacts
Bugfixes;
- Fixed an issue where North American players are unable to interact with the economy if under the age of 21
- Fixed an issue on the NES version which spawned infinite copies of Beerguy when Konami code was entered
- Improved framerate for the PSP and Gamecube ports of the addon.
Plans for next version;
- Update Heineken's inventory with either gun parts or crafting recipes? Vote! Strawpoll.com
- Add another Beer Economy Trader; this time to Rookie Village.
- Ideas for a name? What should he stock?
INSTALLATION:
Take the gamedata folder and put it into your Anomaly install. Click 'yes' to overwriting anything.
I strongly suggest making a backup of your installation or using a mod manager in case something breaks.
Future plans/ideas (Feedback & ideas welcome and encouraged in the comments)
1) Change the inventory of trade goods - initial thought is crafting recipes, toolkits and/or upgrade/weapon parts? Could vary between the Beer Traders. Artefacts?
1.5) Maybe some kind of lottery system...
1.6.75) A Beer Economy Trader deep in the zone who trades for extremely high tier guns.
2) Add more beer economy traders to the map - essentially one for each major faction base/leader*
3) Create some kind of unique beer economy based storyline for each Beer Trader; similar to Technicians I could make it so that they require certain items handed over to them before they open up their inventories.
4) Garbage's Beerguy trades for gun parts? Or Crafting Recipes? Vote! (link here)
5) Add some other traders who aren't exactly part of the Beer Economy - folks who want different products such as tobacco or weed lmao.
6) 'High Tier' trader deeper into the map who sells high tier weapons.
Any thoughts, feedback, proposals of marriage, death threats or criticism will be considered and possibly discarded or taken on board! :)

*so, a trader in Rookie Village, a trader in the CS base, a trader in Agroprom Research, a trader in Yantar etc, etc...

Sounds good. I'm going to try this out and will keep you posted if there are any bugs.
Thanks!
Gonna check it right now, by he description seem to be very nice!
Suggestion:
- Add a trader in garbage that sells gun parts
- Add a trader deep in the zone, who sells high tier guns
I will consider these things!
Not a bad idea. Add some tobacco-related trades if you can as well. Full packs only. ;)
Can be done, only issue is the game looks at the uses in an item as a single object when considering 'how much of X' you have. So I can make each trade for tobacco an integer of 4 (since packs have 4x uses iirc) but it doesn't mean the packs have to be 'full'. You could have 2x packs with 2x uses each and the trader would take them.
Still, not too much extra work.
Sure, because beer is a vital need in any stalker life, so it changes saving-life medkits, food, water and ammos for... beer. Very realistic.
I like your style!
I like yours bro! ;)

Will be trying this out, thanks!
Hope you enjoy!
