Some complaints regarding food.

[diagrapher]

When colonists are malnourished, it's sometimes unclear whether they need more meat or more vegetables; it would be good to have some way of checking. I'm also unclear on whether vegetables noted as high-protein like soybeans count towards the meat or the vegetable requirement.

Also, I could be wrong but it seems like when I build a cookhouse, the colonists all stop eating raw food even if this means they starve, which is annoying and probably not intended?

Heya!

Thanks for the feedback - indeed the UI at the moment does not show you what your colonists need to eat, just that their balance is off - I will pass on this request to make it clearer to the rest of the team! As for soybeans - they are counted as vegetables, despite them being high in protein in real life - essentially all things produced in the fields are counted as vegetables (+ berries); Venison, Prime Meat and Fish are counted as Meat; Insects have a bit of both but are more on the Meat side of this.

As for the Cookhouse building - We have not experienced this behavior during our testing but I will make sure to investigate this - if this is occurring in some situations, it definitely is a bug, as the colonists should eat whatever is available if they are starving.

Thanks again for the feedback and thanks for playing!
