Hoppers.

[Adamiks]

I think that colonists will fill up hoppers with vegetables (even when they are a far away from hopper) in first priority even when i have a lot of meat in the fridge. I think that hoppers should be filled by nearest food not the agaves that are far away. I had this "bug" like 10 minutes ago, cook just LITERALLY ignored meat next to him and wanna go for agava that was almost on the end of the map!

try lowering your search for ingrediant radius

[Adamiks]

Yea, i know but anyway vegetables should have this same priority as meat.

[winnsanity]

The veggies may be higher quality.

It's possible your cook was hauling the agave, not attempting to put it into a hopper.

Nope. I manually told him to put food into the hopper.

Maybe, but anyway this isn't really matter when the food is in hopper.

If there was agave fruit in the hopper already then they'll prioritize it.

Colonists won't take out a food type in favor of another kind.

Also no. Hopper was empty - my colonists was starving.

Then why tell him to fill a hopper and not tell him to eat food?

Because (you may know, or not) when colonists starving they also very angry (even -25 to mood in hungry-extreme level!) so i don't wanna tell angry colonist to eat raw potato, better if he will eat simple meal (by Superior Crafting) from dispenser(?).

Maybe meat is not allowed in your hoppers? You can set allowed resources just like a stockpile.

Also no. I allowed even human meat.

Make more then one hopper. Set each hopper to take the different kinda of raw food you commonly have available, and only that, and then set them to critical priority. If you just have one hopper that accepts all type, the colonists will just put whatever closest to the colonist who gets the 'fill hopper' task - this can be a pain if you only have 3 potatoes and that's what happens to be put in there.

But my colonist wanna put agaves that was outside the base... Not the 3 potatoes next to him.
