Reason Dirty Cooking Area???

[MythN7]

I have my kitchen set to seterile tiles, same with the floor going into the kitchen.
I have a guy set to home area only and have all that guys priority lower than his cleaning, so my whole base is always ♥♥♥♥ and span. never past slightly dirty from when it gets first applied.

so why am i getting this food poisoning every 2nd game day.

does where you store the food count?
I have just smoothed and flag stone maybe a few dirt still there, but also keep the food with the fresh animal corpse and raw food.

Also have all my animals zoned out of the kitchen, so they NEVER can enter making it dirtier. But they can go into the freezer, as I have carnivore animals that go in the back deep part to eat human corpse.

The butcher's table has a base -cleanliness attribute. It *should* be overcome by the Sterile Tile, but depending on the skill of your chef, you could still be getting food poisoning from that.

I've found that the game almost never attributes Food Poisoning to "incompetent cook" unless there's *no* source of filth in the cooking area. So if it's a combination of a moderately-skilled cook and a semi-dirty cooking area, the game will attribute the food poisoning to the room despite the fact that it's the combination of two factors causing it.

Put your butcher`s table in a separate room. Problem solved.

Nope, in fact it's an excellent idea to plant crops there (or to place your wind turbines between your farm fields,) as it prevents trees from growing there and blocking the wind. Effective use of available space, basically.

Yes, the butcher table is the likely source of contamination.

Neat looking base, BTW.

contamination could also come from having a low skill cook?

Also the game does not keep track over every meal in a stack. If something was tainted, and something clean it put on top of it, the clean food wil become tainted too.

Same can be done with canibal food on top of none canibal food.

Pause the bill if you have big suplies and let it run dry then start making meals again. (or feed the meals to animals or guests)
