Hope it helps anyone!

@Fen Hin - Does not seem to be working in v1.5

does this work for 1.5?

1.5?

Dead?

Thanks for the quick fix!

@Poma

Look like the last rimworld update added new method to check which food can be feed to Pawn so it bypassed my patch.
It's solve thank for the report.

My colonists still feed lavish meals to sick animals. I checked VetFoodRestriction and no meals are selected except nutrient paste. What can be the reason. Note: I use Work Tab mod and some colonists are assigned to Feed Animals but not Tend Animals. Could this be the reason?

@LXE

Thank, I trust you I indicated the mods as working for 1.4 !

Confirmed working in 1.4

love how this uses the vanilla UI, very clean

@WarKittyKat
It's weird, I'm pretty confident I disabled all meal by default.
You can change it in the vanilla food restriction menu (check image above), click on select food restriction, then choose the VetFoodRestriction.

Does anyone know how to activate the food restriction on here? I installed it but my colonists are still insisting on feeding my simple meals to my animals rather than the hay I grew just for them, and I don't see it anywhere in the mod options or anything to adjust it.

@AmbiguousMonk
It's a global restriction, every colonist while follow this restriction when doing the job. There no need to set it to colonist.

Does the food restriction for vet food have to be set to the colonist for it to work, or it just changing the settings in the restriction (while using a different restriction for the colonist) enough?

@kohonac This is already possible in Vanilla. Simply restrict the food. Recommend to use Better Pawn Management in addition.

any chance you could make something like this for your pawns as i get tired of the doc feeding raw meet to someone that cant get up

Sry, I wasn't looking at teh date, sry xD
It seems that pawn rules, better pawn control and this work together.

@Zairya noenear already published the other mod 8 days ago: Tame With Kibble - a food restriction for taming and training animals .

Hi there,

thanky for the mod and I agree with the need for a taming version as well as that Better Pawn Controll doesn't effect the food given to injured animals.
I will test the mod with Pawn Rules and BPC together for you.

For the taming mod:
"Tame me without hardcandy" as name and the image would be a before/after image of a pawn taming e.g. a boomalope with hardcandy and with kibble?

Since my answer I already did the mod for taming, but I want to test it more and I would like to find a name and an image for it before I release it.

For Pawn Control, in my opinion it should be compatible but I don't really plan to test.
Except if Pawn Control prevent the automatic creation of the food restriction this mod create when you open the food restriction menu, it should work and even if that the case you can still try to create manually the food restriction you just need to name it "VetFoodRestriction".

In fact, I know RimWorld's mod workshop pretty well and I don't know such a mod (just searched again). Pawn Rules won't allow animals to eat meals at all (configurable), but it can't be configured to disallow certain foods for specific actions like taming. It would be awesome if you could add this function.

Better Pawn Control changes the food restriction menu and assign tab, so I'm unsure whether it's compatible with your mod - even though being a XML patch. Can't test it currently, unfortunately.

It should be compatible with any mod and you can safely remove or add it to a save game. If there no equivalent mod for taming I can make a similare mod for it.

Nice idea. However, I'd like if you added the option to also expand this to the taming of animals. Also, is this compatible with Pawn Rules and Better Pawn Control ?
