Choose type of food for your prisoners

[MrDoritosMan]

I have full storage of simple meal, then fine meal and lavish meal, I just hate when my colonist feed the prisoners with fine or lavish meal, cant you make some tab (Like medicine when you can choose) same for food?
Thanks

You can work around it by having speed are freezers and allowing your warden access to only one via areas, but of course you need a mod to allow more areas because literally no reason at all.

A food tab seems reasonable. Let them eat kibble.

I like this suggestion! Awesome idea

[ArguedPiano]

I work-around I have found is to place a paste dispencer in the room. Unless they are incapacitated the prisoners should feed themselves.

I have not attempted creating a high priority stockpile for food in the room. It may be worth a try.

[Lizardo]

I've never used the paste dispenser, didn't quite understand how to configure it. Or if it was worth building.

Yeah but its much more complicated, the feature that i suggested would solve this problem with 1 click

You know how there's a "Gets Food" X/✓ option in the prisoner tab that only prisoners have? It needs to b changed to the same little menu everyone has for medicine types. You know, "no medical care" , "medical care, but no medicine" , "herbal medicine", etc. It wud be "No Food" , "Raw Food Only" , "Paste or Raw Food Only" , "Simple Meals or Worse" , etc.

And kibble.

my prisoners have npd that gets the main veg crop(either potato or rice) for ONE hopper, the rest of the hoppers are human meat, and the npd is in the deep freezer (usually set to -30 or lower), the prison npd  feeding point can be accessed through a narrow tunnel from the prison (which is a 3-4 tile thick wall from the freezer) and al lthe mobile prisoners are set to no food (except the im-mobile prisoners), if I want the prisoner, they keep getting told how good the meals are for the colonists, the ones I do not want might just die in the prison, then get butchered then put into the paste dispenser for the prison, and if they survive a year, then I might release them minus a couple of limbs and organs

wtf is npd? and what do you mean "they keep getting told how good the meals are"?
edit: puzzled out npd. Nutrient Paste Dispenser.

the meals for my colonists are either lavish or fine ( or with mods that add meal types all of the possible meal types) with a pile (of about 60) vegetarian simple meals as backup or for those vege's also stored in the freezer, but in a different part that is also not in the animal zones

[deslona]

Yes, this needs to be implemented, not just for prisoners but all colonists.

I think he/she/it means that the warden talks to them a lot and the mood benefit soon outweighs the mood debuff from eating bad food.

I assumed it was more of a "flavour"/role-play detail rather than actual game mechanic.
