Hey guys, please leave a comment on the steam workshop page if you need to contact me. I have no problem with anyone editing the mod. I'm really happy you guys find this useful.

This mod has been updated for A17, hope everyone has fun with the new version!

I just did a quick test and 4 kibble seems to use 160 units of food (in my test, 80 hay, 80 chicken meat). Kibble needs a lot of ingredients to complete, but I didn't want to edit the value from the original... just multiply food requirements by 4 and work requirements by 3.5.

I edited the simple, fine, lavish meals, and pemmican to exclude human meat, megaspider meat, and insect jelly by default.

So basically it is Bulk Meals mod without the 8 meals?

This is like Bulk Meals, but kinda better lol

I had no idea this mod existed before I wrote that one.

Edit: @Gutsnipe I've included a link to your mod in my mod's thread.
Mine isn't nearly as popular as yours, but I figured it appropriate given your seniority

I hope your mod is doing well.

Updated the current Alpha 16 release version to include larger bulk meals to cook 8 at a time as well as 4 (which included pemmican and kibble as well). Instead of cooking 12.5% quicker (or 1/8 quicker), cooking 8x in bulk cooks 25% quicker (or 1/4 quicker) due to the nature of cooking bulk.

Meal   Work to Make
Simple Meal   300
Fine Meal   450
Lavish Meal   800
Pemmican   600
Kibble   300
8 Simple Meals   1800
8 Fine Meals   2700
8 Lavish Meals   4800
8 Pemmican   3600
8 Kibble   1800

Gutsnipe, I do hope you don't mind me doing this (note that I will take down the link upon request), it is just that cooking 8x in bulk is rather beneficial for larger colonies in particular (otherwise late-game colonies with plenty of colonists). Thanks for keeping this mod updated.

I have no problem with this. I'm glad you found my mod useful enough to tweak it to suit your playstyle.

Bug report
I set a butcher's table to produce the 4-kibble bill, but when the colonists attempted to manufacture the order they just kept bringing ingredients to the table. I tried relocating the table in case it was gummed up somehow, and I tried using a different colonist as well. Same result.

I theorize that the ingredients in my cold storage freezer have some sort of nutritional, mass and/or stack size measurement that produces a result where the colonists cannot put enough ingredients into three stacks on the table, and so the recipe fails to get completed as they endlessly attempt to bring more to a full workbench.

Just how much are they hauling? Doing a job of 4 kibble would take a *LOT* of raw food goods. Going from memory here, but doesn't each kibble recipe require 40 units to produce 50 units. So a job of 4 would require 160 units to produce 200. As Canute said above, they can have more than 3 stacks, and indeed may just need that many with trying to get 160 total units around the table, especially if needing multiple types to get to that high a number.

This is my understanding as well. The 4 kibble recipe requires a lot of ingredients (8 meals worth / 4 animal & 4 plant meal), so 160 units. As I mentioned above, I did a quick test and a colonist was cooking the 4 kibble recipe with 80 hay (1 stack) and 80 chicken meat (2 stacks, 75 & 5).

Hey guys, I uploaded a version for 0.14.1249 which does not include the kibble recipe on ModDB.

Feed the Colonists

About
Feed the Colonists is a utility mod that allows you to create 4 simple, fine, or lavish meals. As well as creating 4 stacks of kibble or pemmican. Work amount is 3.5X what it would normally cost to make 4.

I created this mod because I didn't like having a colonist spending a large portion of the work day creating meals for a hungry colony. It'll still probably slow down a bit once you get more and more colonists, but this is definitely helpful for smaller/medium-sized colonies. Especially when you value everyone eating well. 

Setting "cook until you have" is based on number of items in stockpile, not number of times job performed. In this way, Cook Until you Have 4 means you'll cook up to 7, and still have a few left over in the stockpile by the time the job is queued up again.
