[M|0.12.906] Cook Stove requires materials

[glenn]

My colonists are starving because my cook stove says it requires materials.

Things I've checked:
* it has power
* there are multiple food sources nearby (rice, meat)
* built a second cook stove (in case it was a save-game issue)
* removed walls between food and stove (in case it was a for issue)
* lit the room (in case it was a sight issue)
* made new bill (in case it was a food radius issue)

Any other ideas?  My colonists are starving!

Please tell me where to find save games -- "Open Save Data" folder isn't working on my Mac. And the same games are not in the "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/RimWorld" which is mentioned in the ReadMe.

Forgot to mention -- I am on Mac, v12.906

To get to a save game:

While in the game hit Esc (or get to the menu where you save your game).  Click "options", then "open save data folder".  They need both the savegame - which is in the Saves folder.  As well as the world - which is in the Worlds folder.

The forum has a 600KB limit to what you can upload.  If you zip (compress) the file it will fit with the log.

Can you force them to cook? Select a colonist right click on the stove?
And which materials exactly? To make the meals or build the cooking stove?

@1BadPanda:  I see the "Open save data" button, but pressing it does nothing.  Maybe a Mac thing?  I see games from previous versions, but not 11 or 12.

@Florius: Materials were various meats (hare, squirrel, boar) and rice.
Right clicking on stove gives a grayed out choice "Cannot cook cook stove (need materials)".  My chef is butchering just fine, but won't cook now.

He was able to cook earlier, I have a few simple meals in my larder.

Okay, a little Linux searching found the save file location on Mac:
/Users/[username]/Library/Caches/RimWorld/Saves/

Here is the RWS, the RWM is 800 k, so I can't upload it -- here they are on Dropbox:

Took me a few mins to figure this out.

The stove is in a prison cell. So are all the ingredients. This sets them off-limits for cooking. You need to set those sleeping spots to non-prisoner.
