colonists stopped cooking?

[teph117]

okay, so i'm a few hours into the game and all my colonies cooks have stopped cooking. I have plenty of food stored for them to use, i've tried different bills to see if they can just no longer cook lavish meals, and i've even tried deconstructing and then rebuilding my cook stoves. any ideas?

[teph117]

okay, I figured it out. Apparently, since I had only 1 muffalo meat left in the stockpile then my cooks could no longer cook any meals whatsoever even though they had plenty of berries, agave, and potatoes to choose from. My colony can be called many things, but vegan is not one of them.

the Fine and Lavish meals requires meat yeah
But you can still cook simple meals from just veggies
(though you better disable the use of meat in those from the config in the bills
you don't wanan waste any of the precious meat on simple meals =P)

Simple meals take 10 of anything (be sure to disable meat so they don't waste it! Really should be the default).
Fine meals take 5x meat and 5x veggie.
Lavish meals take 10x meat and 10x veggie.

Once the meat supply runs out, simple meals and trading is all you got.
