Nutrition bag. [mod is fine though]

[khun_poo]

I don't exactly sure what it is called in English. I mean the bag that contain a liquid food for patient in the hospital. 

I'm thinking about a structure that slowly feed the colonist or prisoner on the hospital (or medical bed) that is connect to the said structure. Let's called it 'Nutrition bag' for now  .

It work like Vital monitor connect to the hospital bed. The Nutrition bag provide regeneration over time to the hunger bar for the patient. So that will less the task for doctor to waste their time feeding down prisoner/colonist on their bed.

The structure should be using something like Vital monitor amount of material. It should require nutrient paste food as a fuel. Let say that hauler need to pick a nutrient paste food from the dispenser and put it in the nutrition bag and it will be there for 3 days until it need to refill.

It's shouldn't work on normal bed though (only work on connected blue blanket beds).

Thank you for reading.

That would be pretty cool, if it worked like fueled generators, with a fuel bar that only needs to be refilled when it's empty. Just don't make it use the hopper...that thing causes pawns to haul like crazy (unless I missed a recent patch) constantly trying to keep it at 100% full. :S

Sounds great, they call them a drip? though i wouldn't see it 'dripping'
3 days 6 meals, if they just fill when empty, unless prioritized, i like it

Sounds like a pretty cool upgrade to the vital's monitor. As far as expensive devices go they're nearly useless when compared to building a higher quality bed.

Something like:

IV Drip Tech

Researchable tech upgrade to Vitals Monitor. Allows them to accept three IV products, "expanders", "nutrition", and "medicine", all at the same time.

Expanders reduce the consciousness penalty from blood loss, keeping pawns alive longer ("expanded volume hediff" effective only if blood loss is also present) especially when the pawns have multiple complications. Nutrition reduces need for food consumption as food need is slowed down. Medicine drips prevents future infections and slows down existing ones.

Nutrition drip products are the simplest to make. Both IV medicine and expanders require specialized technology, successively harder to produce. All of them can be manufactured at a drug lab using neutroamine, (standard) medicine, and some unique ingredients (I suggest that since expanders are meant to be used in blood systems, they should require some more difficult chemicals to be prepared).

The more patients are hooked to a Vitals Monitor, the faster the three "fuels" will drain. If a patient doesn't need something, then it won't be used. For example, diarrhea patients need only nutrition, and won't deplete expander or medicine supply.
