mlieThe RealDining Mod gives colonists more realistic food choices by making them consider food quality, variety, mood benefits, distance, spoilage, and scheduled meal times. It also adds “dinner time”, which can be managed through the time assignment table.
RealDining Mod Features
- Colonists prioritize randomly selected food among currently optimal foods of similar quality.
- If there is more than just bad food available, colonists prefer eating food that is different from what they ate recently.
- Adds dinner time, a scheduled period where colonists prioritize eating.
- After eating during dinner time, colonists may eat dessert or socially relax with others until the meal time ends.
- Colonists with lower mood are more likely to choose food that gives a stronger mood benefit.
- If only bad food is available, colonists will choose the best option among it.
- Food that is far away from the colonist receives lower priority.
- Food that is close to spoiling receives higher priority.
The RealDining Mod also affects the food colonists choose to carry with them. Colonists receive a small mood boost when they eat non-repeated food.
Near dinner time, colonists may tolerate a certain amount of hunger so they can eat during the scheduled meal period.
The mod settings allow you to configure whether colonists prioritize non-backpack food, encouraging them to eat in a dining room. This option is valid within the residential area.
Mod settings
- Randomness values.
- Repeated food priority.
- Food mood importance.
- Dinner time eating threshold.
- Meal time display position: left, middle, or far right.
Recommended use
The RealDining Mod is recommended for use alongside other mods that add more food variety.
Updates
- 20.6.8: the display position of meal time can now be changed in the settings, with left, middle, and far right options.
Compatibility notes
Requires Harmony.
The RealDining Mod is theoretically compatible with most mod-added foods.
