{{Info|'''Kibble''' is a type of [[food]] intended for use as [[animal]] feed.}}
 
  
== Acquisition ==
+
{{Info|'''Kibble''' is a kind of [[animal]] feed. It can only be made by a [[Menus#Cook|cook]] at a [[butcher table]]. No minimum cooking skill is required to create it. The recipe requires 1 unit of nutrition from vegetarian items and 1 unit of nutrition from meat and/or animal products. A completed bill produces 50 kibble (only 35 at a [[butcher spot]]). Kibble restores only 0.05 [[saturation]] each, but up to 20 can be consumed in one sitting. Kibble never spoils (though it can degrade if left outdoors), so kibble is a long-term and easily stored way to feed a large number of animals.}}<p>
Kibble can be [[Work#Cook|cooked]] at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] or [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]]. A batch of kibble requires 1 unit of [[nutrition]] from vegetarian items, and 1 unit of [[nutrition]] from meat or animal products. For example, 20 [[rice]] and 20 [[insect meat]] are sufficient. A completed bill requires {{ticks|450}} and produces 50 kibble at a butcher table, but only 35 at a butcher spot.
 
  
== Summary ==
+
Cooking kibble requires {{ticks|450}} of work for 50 units.
Kibble is consumed for {{P|Nutrition}} [[nutrition]] per item. Kibble has 125% nutrition efficiency when produced at a butcher table, producing 2.5 nutrition per 2 nutrition from raw food. This drops to 87.5% efficiency when produced at a butcher spot, producing only 1.75 nutrition per 2 nutrition from raw food.
 
 
 
Unlike most other foods, it does not rot. While it will still [[deterioration|deteriorate]] if left outside and/or unroofed, it will not spoil even if left unrefrigerated.
 
 
 
Humans ''can'' eat kibble, but they'll get a {{--|12}} [[Thoughts#Ate_kibble|"Ate kibble" mood penalty]]. This is the only way for humans to eat [[hay]]. If the kibble was made out of [[insect meat]] or [[human meat]], their respective moodlets will be applied. If [[Ideology DLC]] is active and the kibble was made out of [[raw fungus]], its normal moodlet will also be applied.
 
  
 
== Analysis ==
 
== Analysis ==
Both kibble and [[meal]]s allow non-[[warg]] carnivores to eat some vegetables, and herbivores to eat meat, while being more efficient than raw food. While kibble isn't as nutrition efficient as meals ([[simple meal]]s, 180% efficient; [[pemmican]], 160% efficient), kibble has its unique advantages:
+
Producing Kibble requires 2.0 units of nutrition for ingredients and yields 2.5 units of nutrition as a result -- a 25% net nutrition gain.  This isn't very good compared to [[simple meal]]s (80% net nutrition gain) or [[pemmican]] (60% net nutrition gain), however:
 +
* You can use [[haygrass]] for the vegetable ingredient.  Haygrass is the fastest growing plant in terms of nutrition / day, but can't be consumed by humans.
 +
* Producing kibble is a great way to use human and insect meat without worrying about your colonists eating it.  Animals don't mind eating human or insect meat.
 +
* Kibble never spoils, so you don't have to worry about it going bad.
 +
* Kibble is much less affected by [[Saturation#Rounding_Error_and_Eating_Thresholds|Overeating rounding error]] than meals (though not pemmican), which is especially significant on animals with lower body sizes.
 +
* Kibble requires substantially less work time than other recipes, and can be done at a butcher's table rather than a kitchen.
  
====Nutrition====
+
Humans ''can'' eat kibble, but they'll get a [[Thoughts#Ate_kibble|-12 mood penalty]]. This is the only way for humans to eat hay. Note that if a human pawn eats Kibble made with insect or human meat they will get '''both''' the negative moodlet from eating kibble and from eating insect / human meat.
{{Recode|section=1|reason = automate a nutrition/work calculation with hard numbers: total work and split into Cook work and planter work; and nutrition/day/tile}}
 
* Kibble allows use of [[hay]] - [[haygrass]] is the plant with the highest yield per day, but cannot be turned into meals. Note that [[corn]] has a higher yield per grower work.
 
  
:In regular soil: hay turned into kibble is slightly worse for nutrition/tile/day than rice turned into simple meals, and slightly better than rice turned into pemmican. Rice surpasses hay for nutrition per day in rich soil, but hay will always be better for nutrition per work.
+
==Version History==
* Animals will eat an entire meal, even if they would [[overeating|overeat]]. Kibble and pemmican satiate 0.05 nutrition/item, which greatly reduces overeating.
 
: For example, a [[chicken]] can only store 0.3 nutrition in their stomach; they would consume 5-6 kibble when hungry, but a full meal every time. The smaller an animal is, the larger the effect of overeating (minimal effect at size >= 1).
 
* Kibble requires substantially less work time than other recipes.
 
 
 
Overall, kibble is ''nutritionally'' useful if you have spare [[hay]], and better than simple meals for the purposes of small animals. It is much better than pemmican in terms of colonist work. Even considering the extra food pemmican gives, it is more efficient to grow more crops than it is to cook pemmican.
 
 
 
Kibble also allows use of [[human meat]] and [[insect meat]], without the micromanagement required for separating meals. (Though you could, for example, only set pemmican to be created with human meat, and forbid colonists in the Assign tab from eating it). There are other uses for kibble - see below.
 
 
 
==== Logistics ====
 
* Kibble can be used for animal training, unlike [[meal]]s.
 
* Kibble never spoils, so you don't have to worry about it going bad from non-[[cooler|refrigeration]].
 
* Kibble can be made at a butcher's table, rather than requiring a fueled/powered kitchen.
 
* Since there is no chance for food poisoning, producing kibble is a safe way to train a no/low skill cook.
 
* When dropping kibble from a pawn's inventory into a hopper, an adjacend nutrient paste dispenser will use it as if it was raw food. Humans consuming kibble this way will get the moodlet from eating nutrient paste, but neither the one for eating kibble nor for its ingredients. At 375% nutrition efficiency, this method surpasses every other way of feeding humans.{{Check Tag|Verify|other high efficiency foods like baby food and NPMs can be used for this exploit}} It is generally considered an exploit.
