Why some food when they are in luxury, didn't give any food to our people ?

[Angessombre0]

The fish, homar, and cake can't use to feed our people, my question is WHY ? i lost one guy by starving because i have a lot of this, but without berry meal, or the bread and berry, or the third meat, but i had cake at this time, and fish cooked.

is it a bug ?

Nope. Fish was to easy I guess so they made it not food and just a luxury item. All the things listed in Luxury = just points. All the things in food = food + points.

But note they only eat one food at a time. So if you have enough bread meals, they won't ever eat any berry meals. So you only need to focus on getting enough of one food, then cap the earlier one.

I see they use not just one, but when you have fish, cake or only food in luxury, you can't craft them in priority, because they don't give any food ?
it is just no logic food don't feed....cake isn't easy to craft, a few other meal in luxury too...(the fish is easy to collect, and berry too, but here berry can be use to feed)

The luxury items are not as important as they were before. If you use the fish to craft the stew you will also get a lot of points from your colonists eating it

Basically.. They will use the best food you have, and one of each luxury you have up to the max number of each luxury allowed per day. It shows on the luxury tab how many of each luxury they use a day.

I don't know the logic. I guess they figure they are snacks and not meals. But it it is confusing and they don't do anything to really explain they aren't food when.

They should of made cooked fish the same tier as berry meals, and left it as an alterative to berries because it doesn't matter anymore if it's "Easy" because they only use it if you don't have better food. vs under the happiness system where you needed a bunch of food types for the happiness value.

This it partially true. For your first town, it really doesn't make a huge difference if you make them or not imo.. I had more points to expand when I needed - but for your second town and on, shipping luxury's to your new places can really speed up the growth rate when you just want to make a fast town to produce something to supply your main town.

At least for fish, we'll likely fix that in a future update.

How do I get them to make bread meals instead of berry meals? I have 60 bread~ and a bunch of berry meals(now) but they arent making "Bread meals" before I figured this out i had 2 dudes starve to death because apparently people would rather starve to death, then to eat bread..

We need some form of feedback that either something isnt edible or when colonist are starving. I have no way of knowing (without extensive testing) just to figure out how much food things are producing vs what is being consumed. Gimme a number or something.

top right corner of the screen, the info display shows number of meals available. That number even turns orange and red if it gets low.
Berry meals are crafted by the berry farmes, right click on a bush to change prio and limit settings. Bread meals are made by the baker (oven).
Since both meals require berries you either need to massively farm those or disable crafting berry meals to have berries available for the bread meal

For the berry meal it is in crop of berry, you have to select the nulver they will keep, and don't forget with priority.
