Paste Dispenser problem
My colonists, instead of using the nutrient paste dispenser(fully powered). Pull the raw meat from the hopper to eat instead. Can anyone explain why they are doing this?

Edit: Apparently it was too crowded or something, I shrunk the stockpile around it to clear out a 1 tile space all the way around and it suddenly started working...

check food policy, where is the paste dispenser outputting?, are you putting in enough food?

I think there may have been a problem with my layout. i had the dispenser in the middle of a stockpile and I think the stuff was blocking the spot the food is supposed to dispense at. I unblocked the seat part and it looks like its working now.

Disregard previous comment lol. Not working. I got ahold of a modded animal that was producing nutrient paste. For some reason it looks like the game isn't recognizing the hoppers. The damn thing is literally ringed in hoppers yet it still says "need food hoppers".

Are they rotated correctly towards the dispenser?

The square part should be facing the dispenser.

Just like with chairs, rotation is aesthetic only. It has no effect on gameplay.

It is strange that there is an indicator that says "Need food hopper". When clicking on the indicator, does it move the camera to the paste dispenser?

Yeah, The damn thing just refuses to work. I don't think i have any mods that affect nutrient paste dispensers so I don't know whats happening.

My guess would be something related to being able to Minify that NPD. Is that where it was originally built, or have you moved it?

just to clarify that white circle in front of the dispenser is where colonists get if from so the area around it must be clear, I had the same problem before
