I have the same problem the fine Fine paste dispenser no working unless people are allowed to eat normal nutrient paste on Food restrictions

repost to bring it to side 1.
by WarKittyKat:

Noticing the same problems that Mike12096 and BlackD noticed. Pawns won't eat from a dispenser unless the regular nutrient paste meal is allowed, and if it is they will eat from dispensers regardless of if the output of that dispenser is allowed. In addition, the presence of a reachable chocolate paste dispenser seems to prevent pawns from using other dispensers, even if it's missing hoppers.

It can be worked around with zones - if pawns can't access a dispenser due to their zones they won't try to use it - but it's still definitely doing something weird.

@ [RDCE] Imotip, same problem over here. my colonist take the fine nutrient paste and bring it to rescued or hostage people but wont take it for them self. they are assigned to fine paste but wont eat it. any idea?

@Ying Should be fixed now

Is there any way to have custom hoppers added/made with this mod's framework also appear in dispenser's gizmos? It seems to default to just the one, regular hopper.

I tried it again and saw that only the pawns with the jealous trait(greedy too probably) had the issue of the no acceptable food message popping up. Turns out its the message just shows up because the meals themself don't sit in a stockpile zone so the game thinks there's no meals available, no issues otherwise.

@Rozal Tested this and my pawn with praetors title got and ate the fine paste with no issues

is it possible to allow royalty to eat fine paste? whenever i use fine paste it says no acceptable food for praetors

Should prisoner paste give the debuff of 'ate a fowl meal' when there is no bird meat in it? Should it be 'foul' meal, as in really bad?

I have build the improved paste with hoppers, but my pawns keeps eating the raw rice from the hoppers. And when i turn off eating raw food they starve. What am I doing wrong??

The precept's defname is AM_NutrientPasteEating_Preferred

@Kateye Can you link to that mod?

Any chance of patching with Alpha Meme's precept Nutrient Paste Preferred? Tiered nutrient paste doesn't seem to give the positive moodlet making the Improved dispenser strictly worse than the normal one if you have this precept.

@Mishli iirc you have to patch (or Mlie add a patch) for those to work with the VNPE grinders adding in a comp "VNPE.CompProperties_RegisterToGrinder"

First i want to thank you for taking the time to update this :)
I only recently just tried it, but I've noticed that the fridge hopper does not appear to connect to the nutrient paste grinder (Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded). Is there any possibility this could be looked at? (in 1.5) I'm not sure if it's the grinder not recognizing it as a valid input, or the hopper not recognizing the grinder as a valid output source

Thank you for updating this!

@Memory Should be fixed now, all hoppers that has the isHopper set to true should work now

Added taps and drippers for Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded that using NPDTiers paste Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded: NPDTiers

@Level 1 Scout Last update was 1st January, so probably not yet. You may want to check the discussion thread instead.

Hey is this compatible with Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded

Re: Memory's message, with 1.4.3580 they introduced IsHopper(). The fix I believe would be on this side to use IsHopper(). Specifcially modifying the XML definition of NPDHopper_Storage to have IsHopper as true, and then instead of doing building.def == Hopper or any of your other logic for checking if a thing is an hopper. To instead then use building.IsHopper(). This would only work for 1.4.3580 onward, so to make this change while being safe would sadly require duplicating logic and have "unload this _if_ version is below 1.4.3580" There is an example of that in Rimfridge with shelves's code base.

There is a compatibility issue with the "Hopper == Fridger" mod. When using the NPDTiers mod, the functionality of that mod does not work properly. The address for that mod is: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2894860548&searchtext=fridge

@Mlie Awesome! You're honestly one of the best members of the community. Right up there with Oscar and the VE Team. Thank you for all the hard work.

@IamWatro Its on the todo-list

Hey Mile, any chance you could look at the new VE Nutrient Paste? I know it just released, but could we add compatibilities? I know that VE Framework would be needed for that =(

Not gonna lie. Mile is a gigachad. Ressurecting mods that I was exactly looking for. Respect!!!

Would the addition of a hopper that could take wastepacks be added? to make "Toxic Goop" or something :O

Much appreciated, I figured it was just some development/debugging logging that was left in. If that's a thing you use a lot, may be worth throwing a "show debug logging" in the settings window, seems a fair number of other mods do that, and the mod already seems to have a settings window, it just doesn't have any settings atm.

@Kaedys Should be fixed now, sorry about that.

I'm getting a pair of log lines ("-True" and "2") every time a meal is created. Is there any way to suppress these? They're swamping my logs when I use NutrientPasteDispenserCommand to generate meals.

@63tian Probably better if that mod adds support for this mod instead

这个MOD貌似可以把干肉饼和其他东西放在营养膏斗里！！mod名字为：Nutrient paste all

您也能加上这个功能吗？

It seems I've found a bit of a problem. The chocolate dispenser when built will make your pawns not use any of the other dispensers but when deconstructed my pawns use the other dispensers. Not sure if that's the only one with problems as I haven't used the prisoner dispenser yet.

so, uhm. me again^^
just a little suggestion. could you, if possible, allow the vanilla hopper to hold chocolate? just thought its a bit expansive to use the fridge or freezer hopper for something that doesnt spoil uncooled anyways..

ok so i just learned that it doesnt matter which paste i activate in the restrictions. they only eat paste when i activate the vanilla paste and then use the nearest dispenser no matter what type it is. (sorry for all the posts but since you cant edit workshop comments..)

when i restrict pawns to only eat the vanilla nutrient paste they get fine paste and when i restrict them to fine paste only they eat nothing. am i the only one having this?

Would be cool if the controls of "Better Nutrient Dispenser Controls" could be added.

Wasnt updated in 2 years and was a serious game changer to feed herbivore animals in very harsh biomes
Or maybe just some kind of dispenser that feeds animals and cant be controlled by pawns. if even possible

@tanknum13, @Mile, I think the vending machine function comes from Hospitality, since I am not using gastronomy - and I also came to ask for the same feature :)

Thank you for your answer @Mlie. I have asked the creator of gastronomy mod about the possibility of making modded NPD from other mod like this one to be a vending machine like the vanilla NPD in base game. I 'm still not sure whether this vending machine come from the hospitality or gastronomy mod since I used both mod.

@tanknum13 No idea, is there a guide or info on what that would require somewhere?

Can you add hospitality vending machine setting for the new paste dispenser added by this mod.

@9291Sam Fixed

the Q&A needs to be changed from
steamapps/workshop/content/294100/1864411034/Defs/Buildings/NewNPDExample.xml

to

steamapps/workshop/content/294100/2043895447/Defs/Buildings/NewNPDExample.xml

As the Id has changed when you updated the mod

Does Hospitality vending machine setting work with this?

@Mlie
Thanks for your consideration. I added it to the discord page.

@Snow
I noticed that the regular dispensers did still work with this mod, but none of the modded ones work. Neither these improved ones nor the ones from the Over-Wall Dispenser mod.

@Iron Stallion That mod actually still works in 1.3 atleast with regular paste dispensers.

@Iron Stallion Perhaps, but please post the link to the mod in the #mod-requests channel on the discord server as it saves me a lot of admin-time :)

@Mlie
Is there a way we could get compatibility with (or potentially an updated version of) this mod?
