Description
Chocolate is a food item which provides a short-lived burst of nutrition, filling a colonist's hunger meter by 10% per unit consumed. Unlike most other foods, it also grants a bonus to Joy of 10% per unit.
Usefulness
The low nutritional value of chocolate makes it a poor choice to try to sustain a colony with, but its mood-boosting properties make it excellent for helping keep your colonists at risk of a mental break from snapping.
Your colonists will eat no more than 4 units of chocolate at a time, and probably should be restricted from touching the stuff when other options exist. Forbidding chocolate in most situations and manually directing troubled colonists to eat it when necessary is advised.
Acquiring chocolate
Chocolate cannot be produced by your colonists. It can be obtained semi-reliably through trade with a bulk goods trader, and occasionally arrives in cargo pods.
