Synthesizes nutrient paste from organic feedstocks. It consumes less ingredients and time than any other meal production method - but nobody likes eating nutrient paste. Accepts raw food, but not rough plant matter like hay.

A nutrient paster dispenser converts raw food resources placed in adjoining hoppers into nutrient paste meals.

The dispenser provides food in an on demand basis. As long as the dispenser is powered and there is food in a connected hopper, a hungry colonist or a colonist feeding a prisoner will operate the dispenser to receive one nutrient paste meal.

Colonists may eat food raw, but the “Ate nutrient paste” thought gives less unhappiness than the “Ate raw food” thought. There is research to slightly improve the dispenser's efficiency (10% less food required for each meal).

Using a cook stove provides better meals.
