few more recipes to the grill

hey!
it is a real pain,watching your duplicants die, when there is fresh meat laying around !
my dups eat aliens !! and they cannot take a bite at each others ?
that feels wrong and wasted !
as another title of yours suggests: dont starve together !
as in; one doesnt have to starve, when he eats the others.
humans have been doing this and will do this, whenever actual-hunger comes along.
are you bold enough to add cannibalism, in the face of nowadays fragile society ?

Interesting idea. You're suggesting that one could use the printing pod as a source of free extra labor (until the printed dupe dies) and then food for the colony.

I like it.

Just another step in bringing ONI closer to RimWorld.

okay then, you...thought of the DARKEST option possible...first?
i would love more food options and cooking reworks in general to flesh it out, but hot damn. thou art nasty

For anyone else reading the OP, it's important to remember that dupes are not humans, they do/may not have human morals, and this is a very pragmatic way of thinking regardless.

In modern society, we humans have the luxury of cheap food in an incredible variety, and as a new human takes roughly 18 years to grow to ~maturity~, cannibalism is a very inefficient food source.

For duplicants in an asteroid with limited food supplies and a printing pod that gives a guaranteed full grown duplicant every 3 cycles, they might be overjoyed at the prospect of allowing the colony to continue at the expense of the life of one of their own.

Given a certain scarcity of available food supplies, consuming the flesh of one of their own might even give a positive morale reaction.

you know, the price is not even "the life" of one of their own.
if he naturally dies, they dont pay a price for his meat.
it would we waste to just bury or burn it.

Will never happen for the same reason drugs/beer wont happen. Klei relays too much on PG appeal to do something like that. They aren't Tynan Sylvester or some other niche individual who can do whatever he wants.
