When a pawn eats, he usually gets a spare meal to eat somewhere else from his inventory. The problem is that with nutrient paste dispensers, the pawns only get the meal to eat and nothing else, forcing them to always get back to the paste dispenser to get another meal.
Pawns should get 2 meals from the paste dispenser. Or 1 meal, eat it, then take the other.
Yep, when a pawn seek a meal for the backpack the NPD should be allowed too.

Agree agree agree one hundred thousand percent.
That being said, NPD is wickedly good right now anyways, and this change would make it even better, so...
