I have a couple mods, like Questionable Ethics Enhanced, that use items refined out of foodstuffs like meat and vegetables, so I need to set some aside instead of sending everything to the food hoppers. This reserve stockpile works most of the time, but sometimes I find that I didn’t reserve enough, or that I’m producing much more meat or vegetables than the other.

So I thought to myself “what if the Replimat system could just print the protein mash and nutrient solution directly?” Now I know other people might have the same issue with other mods, so I think the catch-all solution would be to allow for printing synthetic meat and grains just like the packaged survival meals.

Of course, I know I wouldn’t want to know that the same console I get my breakfast from also spews out raw meat, so I think it should be made at a separate machine, a sort of utility printer.

A few times I’ve also played with two (or three) bases with their own replimat systems, and the only current method for transferring feedstock between them is to send over a feedstock tank – overkill. For transferring more manageable amounts I’d propose the ability to print smaller, say 1 kg, food cubes or capsules. If also implemented, the utility printer seems like the place to make these.

I think most people come to this mod for the core aspects as-is, so perhaps these could be added as an addon? Thanks for the mod, I love it. <3
