Nutrient Paste Expanded - Nutrient Pellets

Will this be updated to address the issue Kal mentioned?

In fact looking at the ThingDef, I see you've put a comment that the short rot time is intended because you should be creating these on demand, not storing them. That would make sense if you were pulling these out of the dispenser, but this uses the feeder, which just keeps a constant amount in it's tray - it's actually impossible to create these on an as-needed basis. So in effect this just creates a constant drain on your nutrient paste supply.

I'd add to what branch? said - it would be great if, like regular kibble, these pellets wouldn't deterioriate, as there's no simple way to refrigerate the output of the feeder and keep it readily accessible to your animals.

Could you make nutrient paste kibble not deteriorate so quickly? not sure how to keep the feeder refrigerated conveniently.

VNPE provides a feeder in addition to a dispenser. It works like a tap for other piped resources. You use the feeder, not the dispenser, for feeding animals.

do animals gather around the dispenser to suck on it like a milk teat or do i need a colonist to vend it?

@danmiller58 sounds more like a feature than a bug

If you feed it to a highmate, they will immediatly become capable of violence and murder your entire colony in cold blood

can you make a version of this to make Nutrient paste survival meals? would be great to make food to go with VNPE

@AbsolutelyNotSteveJobs You could also just tweak your Allow Zone in order to forbid your colonists to access the feeders specifically.
