Food complaints have gone too far

[Gurgel]

I am currently feeding my Dupes Omelettes and I still get the "the crap you are feeding us is so bad, I can barely stop myself from vomiting" emote. This is "Standard / +2". I would expect that at "Standard" they stop complaining and above standard, they start to compliment the food. 

Is there some level where they stop complaining?

[Enno]

I wouldn't worry as long as they don't have a low morale. When you get further you can take care of it. 

Some of my dupes still get fried mushbars and they are on +8 morale expectation. 

Now I'm working on setting up a bigger farm and stables.

I've seen them do that animation after eating stuffed berries and BBQ, so I don't think it is actually based on what they ate.

Or the animation selection is bugged . . .The morale effect is correct, just the animation looks really odd.

You sure it didn't have any food poisoning on it? They're supposed to visualize when they eat germy food

Just like in real life "Oh no, I see billions of bacteria on this thing and I won't enjoy it"

Are you sure they're not eating something else from that container, for example a muckroot that they dug out and stored in the same place?

I am. But it was something close: The food was stale. Reason is the broken freezer mechanics where everything heats up and starts to decay for a while when you put in something warmer then 4C. A small freezer (10kg limit) next to the great hall should fix that, because food will not stay in there long enough to go stale. Thanks!

Not on cycle 1200

I keep my fridges unpowered and submerged in CO2 - no stale food. I don't like the fridge mechanic that lets food spoil even if they work properly. That means keeping food in CO2 is a better solution, since then food can be stored indefinitely long.

Sure, I have that too. But I have one fridge close to the great hall to reduce food-fetching times during downtime. It had the standard 100kg setting and that was clearly too much.

Ah, yes, I still don't have a messhall, but I plan to make one soon, so this is a valid point - you need to limit the storage capacity and/or have a sweeper empty it when dupes are done eating for the day.
