In addition, no cooking is necessary. This avoids [[food poisoning]] entirely and can save a lot of time off a cook's hands. This makes nutrient paste useful in a famine, even if you don't plan to use it indefinitely. Nutrient paste is a poor choice for [[caravan]]s, given how quickly nutrient paste spoils and the tedious micro required to make stacks of them. |
However, nutrient paste meals give a -4 [[mood]] debuff, which ends up being -9 net mood compared to [[fine meal]]s. It is advised to not give nutrient paste to pawns with a [[trait]] that gives a negative modifier to mental break threshold, because they can push a pawn over the edge. Because pawns prefer normal meals over nutrient paste, you can set restrictions to prevent normal pawns from consuming all of the good meals, leaving them to the volatile ones. | However, nutrient paste meals give a -4 [[mood]] debuff, which ends up being -9 net mood compared to [[fine meal]]s.
