Why Won't They Eat?!?

[NephilimNexus]

This is why I always build a prisoner bunkhouse at some point.  Three or four beds and a nutrient dispenser, all in one room.  Saves me from having to waste any time taking care of them myself when waiting for the slaver ship to show up again.

I always imagined nutrient paste like that molding paste at the orthodontist. Flavorless, tacky, leaves a foul taste in your mouth. It's also warm, if left too long turns cold and hard.

Somehow, I think that would rate a far, far worse happiness penalty than eating raw potatoes.

My first couple failed games when I had just downloaded the game, I was genuinely confused as to why my colonists thought that eating freshly picked raspberries was a horrible thing to do and eating slop was a marginally less horrible thing to do.

Do hope the next update, whenever it comes along, introduces cooking so I can have my colonists cook food for themselves and each other. Hopefully also some form of lounge as well, a place for colonists to mingle and play pool when there are no other pressing tasks.

I also hope it distinguishes between food types. Fresh-picked raspberries ought to give a happiness bonus, and fresh agave ought to at least be neutral. Potatoes should still suck worse than nutrient paste, of course.
