{{Info|A '''simple meal''' is a [[meal]] and the most basic way to prepare [[raw food]] for consumption}}.

== Acquisition ==
Simple meals can be [[Work#Cook|cooked]] at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]], [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]], or [[{{P|Production Facility 3}}]]. A simple meal requires 0.5 units of [[nutrition]] from [[raw food]] - this is equal to 10 units of [[rice]], [[potatoes]], [[meat]], and most foods. They require {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work to make, and have no minimum cooking skill. Cooking at a campfire doubles the work required, to {{Ticks|2*{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

== Summary ==
A simple meal can be eaten by humans or animals for 0.9 [[nutrition]], or 90% of a human's hunger meter. As it takes 0.5 nutrition of [[raw food]] to create, simple meals provide 180% nutrition efficiency. 

Eating a simple meal has no intrinsic effect on [[mood]] like some other meals, however if it was made out of [[insect meat]] or [[human meat]], their respective moodlets will be applied. If [[Ideology DLC]] is active and the meal was made out of [[raw fungus]], its normal moodlet will also be applied.

== Analysis ==
Going from eating raw food to simple meals is a huge upgrade, since:
* Simple meals give {{Good|x180%}} the nutrition of raw food.
* Simple meals avoid the {{--|7}} [[Thoughts#Ate_raw_food|''Ate raw food'']] [[mood]]let.
* Simple meals have a lower chance of giving [[food poisoning]] than raw food, assuming a [[clean]] cooking area and a chef with a [[cooking]] skill of 3 or better.

Compared to other meals:
* [[Fine meal]]s give a {{+|5}} ''Ate fine meal'' mood boost and have the same nutrition efficiency, but require both meat and vegetables to create. They take more work and require a Cooking skill of 6. [[Vegetarian fine meal]]s and [[carnivore fine meal]]s can be made from 1 type of food, but waste food in the process.

* [[Nutrient paste meal]]s give a {{--|4}} moodlet, require [[Research#Nutrient paste|Nutrient paste]] researched (which [[New Arrivals]] start with), and [[power]] to operate a [[nutrient paste dispenser|dispenser]]. However, nutrient paste meals give {{Good|x166%}} the nutrition (300% the nutrition from raw food), never give [[food poisoning]], and take no work to create. Paste becomes relatively better if you do not have a skilled cook, or are limited on food.
