− | + | {{info|A '''nutrient paste dispenser''' is an electrical device that converts [[raw food]] placed in an adjacent [[hopper]] into [[nutrient paste meal]]s. Unlike production benches, this process does not require you to add bills. When a colonist is hungry and there are no better alternatives available, they will approach the dispenser and instantaneously generate their paste meal. | |

− | + | === Usage === | |
− | + | The nutrient paste dispenser is helpful, but not necessarily vital for survival in all [[biome]]s. Consuming a nutrient paste meal gives your colonist an [[Thoughts_list#Eating|''“Ate awful meal”'']] bad thought, reducing mood by -4, but this is still better than the -7 mood [[Thoughts#Ate_raw_food|''"Ate raw food"'']] thought that accompanies eating unprepared raw food. | |

− | + | More importantly, it is numerically the most efficient way to prepare raw food in the game, increasing the nutritional value of its raw inputs by 50%. If you find yourself in a desolate biome where food is scarce, or your existing cooks can't produce meals fast enough to feed your population, nutrient paste dispensers can prove crucial in avoiding starvation. | |
− | + | Be aware that converting human or insect meat to a nutrient paste meal does not mask its origins. Attempting to do so results in all appropriate bad thoughts hitting at once. | |
− | + | One hidden property of the dispenser is that it functions as a wall capable of separating rooms, accepting conduits and blocking temperature. This allows you to place hoppers in a [[cooler|refrigerated]] space to prevent rot, or to point a dispenser into a prison where colonists can safely fill the hopper from outside the prison while the prisoners can feed themselves whenever they want without a warden needing to bring them food. Strangely, unlike actual walls, the dispenser does ''not'' block light.}} | |
