Prepared meals stockpile
« on: September 01, 2010, 08:37:12 am »

I'm trying to rearrange my food production chain, but I'm having some problems.
Under what category can I find prepared meals in the stockpile settings?
Also one more thing, what is the use of the prepared food option in the stockpile settings?
I have 2 stockpiles for fish one with it selected and the other without and they both have the same contents stored there.

Sorry if this was asked a million times, but I  can't really find anything about it in the wiki.

I assume the prepared food option is like an on/off switch for it, but i've never used it.

You could try setting two food stockpiles with everything disabled but prepared meals in the farther one, and just everything disabled in the closer one, and see which one they take them to, i guess?

I tried that. They place exactly the same things in both stockpiles. I'm confused :S

edit: reading comprehension fail, I'll try what you suggested now :)

If you want to allow prepared meals, block all food then hit u, I believe, to allow prepared foods. It's not under any menu, it's by itself at the bottom right of the food stockpile screen. Keep in mind you want to turn off prepare foods everywhere else, and disable barrels in the prepare meals stockpile.
