Astronaut food

[sinuswutz]

I just noticed that food actually has a small impact on astronauts. On my main base I had bread, tomato soup, roasted meat and omelet available in the canteen. While rebuilding my fabrication floor, I finally added a machine that would make hydrotonic just for completions sake. ...and the canteen table looked empty without the bottles there.

I already knew all my astronauts were very polite and would only take the worst food available, never touching the good stuff. They were all on a bread diet. Once hydrotonic appeared on the menu, they all switched to that and I noticed the difference.

Astronauts who consume hydrotonic will only walk from one station to another. Astronauts who munched on bread will run (move much faster) from one place to another. I did some observing with the “better” foods and it seems they also run faster but get hungry more slowly? It is hard to tell.

Anyway, is there some way to tell my astronauts that they don't have to drink the “quartz water” and it is perfectly okay to have some roasted meat or (if vegan) a tomato soup?

It is based on the resource order in canteen. I just wanted to make it clear that hydrotonic is early resource, but it seems its prioritizing it more!
I will make it a short list where you have priorities in canteen.

For now you can just make sure that closer canteens contains bread and canteen behind contain hydrotonic.

You need to change resource requests to ensure where hydrotonic/bread is delivered.
