Hydroponics is very powerful.

[Sacarathe]

In the final game will food variety have an effect on the characters, I am guessing that with cooking as a skill, the current nutrient paste is one of the worse foods in the game?

I have found in my games that once I get hydroponics set up the game becomes very hard to stalve, though i've not had above 15 colonists.


Will there be some balance later (besides the high power req)?

Hydrophonics was way better before.
It was actually turned down in the latest builds.
Wich version are you using?

And if you look at your goons you will see that they have negative thoughts from the nutrient paste.
And yes there will be more food options in the future.

They're still uber-powerful. Even in latest build.
But TBH: I don't think it's a problem. Problem is that eating one type of food is equal to eating 5 types of food. Which means that you can basically perma-lock yourself in caves (assuming you have geyser in there) and ignore anything outside.
