Force a specific ingredient into a meal?
I am playing around with the tunneler idiology for the first time and have run into nutrifungus. I would like to be able to use some different ingredients in my meal but my colonists get upset if there isn't at least some nutrifungus in their meals.

I know I can limit which ingredients are allowed to be used, but how do i tell the cook to put at least some fungus into the meal?
For example, setting simple meals to meat and nutrifungus will sometimes produce meat-only meals, and if I allow for example meat, dairy, fungus and rice in a fine meal, I'll risk combinations without fungus.

Make a simple meal bill that only allows nutrifungus.
Make a fine meal bill that only allows nutrifungus and meat.

They both use the same amount of ingredients so if you have meat you pretty much always want it to be used in a fine meal and not a simple meal.

There's no way to limit a normal meal bill to force multiple veges to be used in it. You might be able to find a mod that adds custom meals that work, but it's generally not worthwhile anyway. Just only grow nutrifungus and sell everything else, it's not like there's a limited amount you can grow.

For other ingredients you could potentially mess with stack merging to mingle ingredients, but nutrifungus meals aren't normally allowed to stack with meals without nutrifungus.

While not specifically what you're after, this may be useful if you use the NPD for food supply: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2668183421

Running as a Tunneler ideology, I always set up simple meals for fungus only, then fine for meat + fungus, and lavish for insect meat + fungus. Unless you can regularly get insects to spawn, save that meat for the good stuff.

Wouldn't bother producing anything else unless you want to make organic chemfuel, and I think you can make that out of fungus too...
