GabrialDestruir Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It would be nice if there was better handling of food in regards to the Microbe Musher and the Cooker. Currently a dupe will happily leave food in either one of them while it runs off to other projects. If your microbe musher/Cooker isn't in a cold or sterile area this can leave the food to rot while the dupes go off to do other projects. What I'm proposing is that at the very least food ingredients that are perishable should be automatically returned to food storage before dupes move on to other tasks. This way food can be better preserved without need to build our kitchens in sterile environments or at freezing cold temperatures. Additionally it would be nice if dupes wouldn't stop midway through cooking to run off to do other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupes AI does need improvement though, as it is not good at prioritizing job distance and travel time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimerX Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 What I would like is for the next job in the queue to become a candidate if the first one isn't doable. This way I avoid either needing to micromanage the musher or having two of them. What I want to do is set #1 - Continuous lice loaf #2 - Continuous mush bar If lice is available make the loaf, otherwise the bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would help to avoid building two mushers at the same time. As for the OP, yes, put a high priority on the fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterpintsman Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I would also like a way to auto-stop the mushers if there is enough food on stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olight Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Or making foods until all the food stores are full of % threshold. In this way, we will be able to distribute foods evenly across all the food stores in multiple locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, or at least ability to set up count higher than six. Perhaps the "+1" might mean making one for each duplicant that has this food enabled in Consumables? Or it could be given as separate option "+all" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBHink Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This may not be the right place for this but... I'd like to see the food icons in the queue to be in color except the last one that cannot be made. All the colored icons would indicate the resources are available. Right now once you click on the last one you can make they all go gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
