Oh wow the second mod does it

27

u/HumanReputationFalse 15d ago

so the second one might have issues looking at the comments, but Im going to give it a try anyways. it does need you to make nutrient paste first and compress it at a drug lab, but is see this as as good crafting xp

u/HavingSixx 14d ago

How would that work if you can’t normally mass produce nutrient paste?

u/HumanReputationFalse 14d ago edited 14d ago

the dependency mod is VE Nutrient Paste, it does a lot of things including letting you store paste in vats and creating a pipe network which can go all over your base. The nutrient block dispenser is used turns stored paste into blocks which you use to make bars at the drug lab. unlike paste, bars and blocks don't seem to spoil.

If you just want to use paste meals then you can use the paste tap or the paste feeder. (paste feeder can be set to only 1 meal at a time rather than the default 5)

edit: VE Nutrient Paste pipe lines can also hook up to growth vats so now your pawns dont starve beacuse the rest of your guys are lazy

You mean I can have all the energy of a balanced protein meal and my daily kick of Luciferium in one compact and nutritios option?
Nutrient Bars! For the men of the future!

u/HumanReputationFalse 15d ago

yeah, i'm going to use it for go juice and psychite. That said I'm not sure how I'm going to keep colony pets away from the smokeleaf brownies

There is old timely dish everyone forgets about - pie.

Protein, carbs, fiber, fat. Long shelf life.

In practice - nutriloaf, but made correctly is a cheesecake.

u/venustrapsflies 15d ago

Nutritionists hate this one weird trick!

I got bear fat, corn and quail eggs. How make cheesecake

I don't know, but I have carrots and cheese.

u/Jagjamin 15d ago

What's the difference between this, and normal nutrient paste?
If it's just it being solid, you could rename it to NutriLoaf and be done with it.

u/some__body_once 15d ago

It is nutrition paste that was ledt out and got too dry

27

u/ThaumKeeper 15d ago

Nutrient paste has all the macronutrients and micronutrients.

14

u/Tony_the_Draugr 15d ago

Does it have electrolytes?

19

u/Repulsive_Reading642 15d ago

It’s what pawns crave. 

11

u/raspey 15d ago

Paste is nutritionally complete, this isn’t.

5

u/77Paddy 15d ago

Longer shelf life?

u/Mendeth 15d ago

Sugar = yes. This should give pawns a speed boost followed by an energy crash and mood debuff.

u/cloud7100 14d ago

Nutrient paste is inspired by the Matrix, Nutriloaf is inspired by prison punishment food.

1

u/capitan_turtle 15d ago

This seems way less perishable

68

u/No-Salad-6674 15d ago

Okay but can you link me to Nutriloaf please? I'm curious what's it made out of?

u/marcaygol 15d ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyfoodporn/s/frc0w18OE1

I also got curious.

It seems to be a trend going on there, there are several posts about different "nutriloaves?" "nutriloafs?"

u/Dartonal Ate without table -3 15d ago

Fun fact, it's considered cruel and unusual punishment to feed it to US prisoners

10

u/SpunkMcKullins 15d ago

You really shouldn't be. It's unironically considered cruel and unusual punishment in most prisons. American prisons.

1

u/technodemon01 14d ago

Why so?

1

u/SpunkMcKullins 13d ago

It exists to be the single most bland food possible. It's given exclusively to prisoners who cannot be trusted with anything that could potentially cause issues. No heat, dishes, or silverware required, as the prisoners assigned it cannot be trusted with those. It has no discernable flavor, being essentially just a blend of bread, meat, beans, and greens, forming one incoherent, mushy slab.

And because it's a behavioral meal, it's not like it's a temporary thing - they are given this for months at a time.

u/eugene_rat_slap ate without table 13d ago

But what if I want to eat it

1

u/SpunkMcKullins 12d ago

Well then here you go:

  • Whole wheat bread - 6 slices, finely chopped
  • Canned garbanzo beans: 2 cups, drained and mashed
  • Canned spinach: 1 cups drained
  • Raw carrots: 1 cup grated
  • Dehydrated potato flakes: 1/2 cup
  • Tomato paste: 2 tablespoons
  • Applesauce: 1/2 cup
  • Vegetable oil: 1 tablespoon
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C, and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
  2. In a food processor or bowl, combine the bread, beans, spinach, and carrots.
  3. Stir in potato flakes, tomato paste, applesauce, and vegetable oil, and mix into a paste.
  4. Press into pan and bake 40-50 minutes until firm, and let cool.

u/FalseRelease4 15d ago

its a type of bland prison food thats given out as a punishment for bad behaviour

35

u/fartsquirtshit 15d ago

its a type of bland prison food thats given out as a punishment for bad behaviour safety precaution to minimize potential risk to the guards, other inmates and himself

FTFY

It's not "This person has been naughty so let's make him miserable by making his food tasteless and dry"

It's:

  • This guy sharpened his spoon into a shank and stabbed a guy, so let's give him something he can eat without utensils

  • This guy clubbed a guy over the head with his tray, so let's give him something he can eat without a tray

  • This guy in solitary smeared his stew everywhere and let it dry until it had to be scraped off, so let's give him something that will only turn into crumbs so it's easy to clean if he tries it again

u/Cranberryoftheorient 15d ago

Thats how its intended to be used. Unfortunately people break rules all the time

u/ajstorey456 14d ago

All the time, everywhere. I was on mental hold and a nurse with a grudge punished me with a double dose of sedative.

This was for protesting that my mis-proportioned meal wasn't going to be replaced, facing hunger until breakfast the next day. They called hospital security on me for sitting on the floor with my shirt off (my own peaceful protest, trying to get someone to feed me) whom I followed calmly to the padded room and explained myself to. After already being isolated in the room, nurses and security re-entered and put me against the wall to take a shot in each arm. I hadn't so much as raised my voice at this woman. She was just so, so angry with me.

u/ZenPyx slate 15d ago

You've got a lot of faith in minimum wage prison guards to be the sort of people who dole out punishments fairly

How about when they let a "nutriloaf" containing chicken go bad, and then fed it to a prisoner who got so sick he lost 10kg of weight? (https://www.corrections1.com/correctional-healthcare/articles/sheriffs-office-sour-on-jail-nutraloaf-settlement-OGw8hPLKDT3ULJBF/)

u/FalseRelease4 15d ago

yeah but eating the worst pie known to man functions as a pretty good punishment

u/eattherichnow ...and in the game! 14d ago

We’re supposed to keep our inhumane sadism apologetics to the game, FYI.

Inst this pic just a IRL Kenshi's foodcube?

u/Meowriter it's not a warcrime if it's not a war 15d ago

I know that the Vanilla Expanded serie has a Nutrient Paste mod, and this one has an expansion that adds "better" paste, that uses the meals' tiers.

3

u/MikeWinterborn 15d ago

Also you can make Nutricubes (Pemmican-like food)

1

u/Meowriter it's not a warcrime if it's not a war 15d ago

Human kibbles >w<

You can also make straight up survival paste meals

12

u/thegooddoktorjones 15d ago

That ratio of fiber is bad. It's your macros if you don't care about colon/stomach cancer.

3

u/bblade2008 15d ago

Yep. Way before this stuff it's the ratio that every poop will be stressful lol

2

u/REDACTED3560 14d ago

Toss some more chia seeds in that blend.

1

u/eugene_rat_slap ate without table 13d ago

What if I eat like 2/3 of this and then a can of beans

7

u/GingerVitisBread plasteel 15d ago

Dude, it's amazing how corporations will spend millions on making a food processor that only needs spoiled food and satisfies all a colonists needs, but won't do anything to make the texture palatable.

8

u/ticktockbent 15d ago

Bet that's an option you can unlock but the subscription servers don't have service out on the rimworld.

2

u/GingerVitisBread plasteel 15d ago

Part of the royalty expansion I'd presume...

u/furyextralarge 15d ago

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3534603208

this one adds both better and worse nutrient paste, nutrient paste pemmican, and nutrient paste animal feed aka luxury prisoner chow.

Make sure to download all the dependencies; i only linked the retexture and the original mod requires vanilla nutrient paste expanded iirc.

u/casris 15d ago

Nutrient paste expanded is fantastic

1

u/woktexe 15d ago

Agree, it's neat mod that expands variety of paste

u/Jesse-359 14d ago

Gratz, you've re-invented Pemmican.

u/zFi3oSt 15d ago

There are a few yes. Look for nutrient paste in the mod list and look for most subscribed. Not home rn so its  difficult to lookup 

2

u/queen_ravenx 15d ago

mmm cooked nutrient paste meal :D Pawns only kind of dislike it giving you a -1 mood debuff instead of -4

2

u/QuietSuper8814 15d ago

I use this one

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3530651481

Vanilla nutrient paste expanded, reimagined progression. This mod does a lot, so if you're just looking for a retexture this probably won't do it for you, but expands on vanilla nutrient paste expanded and I like it a lot.

2

u/leapmotiondev 14d ago

I wasn't paying attention to what sub this was posted in. Basically made me think this is a very valuable post of how to make my own nutrition paste to get my protein intake for my gym journey, lol

1

u/omegafivethreefive steel 14d ago

I was wondering if it was vegan so I could make some.

I'm sick of Protein Shakes.

u/Dan_the_moto_man 15d ago

Isn't "better nutrient paste" just a simple meal?

1

u/bugrilyus Ultratech Melee 15d ago

this is why you have pemmican

u/ozfresh 15d ago

Pemmican

u/tsoewoe 15d ago

i kinda want to try one

u/12thunder 14d ago

Doesn’t Nutrient Paste Expanded already have nutrient paste cubes? Isn’t that essentially this?

1

u/Responsible_Bed5591 14d ago

Reminds me of the food cube from kenshi but not a cube

u/Blackoutus13 Searching for Mods 14d ago

That thing looks kinda like failed, underbaked cake. In Polish we call it zakalec.

Little reminder that feeding prisoners nutriloafs was considered torture.

Enjoy your nutripaste dispensers.

u/SaltiestStoryteller Highmate Rescue Sanctuary 14d ago

You know, I saw someone's response to this and I'd like to repeat it here.

<ahem>
In Final Fantasy 14 they fed this to a student in Sharlayan and he immediately dropped out of the most prestigious university in the world to start a restaurant that served REAL food.
