| − | + | Many colonies will produce both meat and vegetables, so fine meals are an easy-to-implement mood buff for most players. As fine meals consume the same total nutrition as a simple meal, even if the production of meat and vegetables is not balanced, some portion of the total can be converted into fine meals while the remainder can be converted into simple meals with no loss. This is as simple as queueing fine meals for cooking before any simple meals. The only downside is the minimum skill requirement and the {{Bad|{{%|1-{{Q|Simple meal|Work To Make}}/{{P|Work To Make}} round 2}}}} slower production rate. | |
| − | Animals like [[chicken]]s and [[cow]]s can produce a continuous stream of edible products. Whether meat is easy to obtain is highly variable - hunting [[rat]]s may not be worth it, but a ranching economy could be. | + | Animals like [[chicken]]s and [[cow]]s can produce a continuous stream of edible products.

* [[Insect meat]] only gives a {{--|3}} moodlet when cooked, which results in a net {{+|2}} mood when used for fine meals. If a colonist's [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} prefers insect meat, then fine meals of insect meat provide a great mood buff. If ideoligion permits cannibalism, then [[human meat]] can be used to the same effect. | * [[Insect meat]] only gives a {{--|3}} moodlet when cooked, which results in a net {{+|2}} mood when used for fine meals.

| − | * [[Vegetarian fine meal]]s give the same fine meal moodlet without using meat, at the cost of using +50% more food. Many colonies can afford to grow 50% more food; just 1 hour of a grower's time can "upgrade" multiple colonists from simple to vegetarian fine. | + | * [[Vegetarian fine meal]]s give the same fine meal moodlet without using meat, at the cost of using +50% more food.

Using vegetarian meals might take less work than regular fine meals. See vegetarian meal's [[Vegetarian fine meal#Analysis|Analysis section]] for more details. |

Note you can make fine meals that are ''ideologically vegetarian'' from the same amount of nutritional value using the regular fine meal recipe by replacing all meat with animal products. This will keep vegetarian pawns happy while avoiding the lower nutritional efficiency of the vegetarian fine meal. | Note you can make fine meals that are ''ideologically vegetarian'' from the same amount of nutritional value using the regular fine meal recipe by replacing all meat with animal products.
