It way easier to work on one combined mod and keep track of changes for it. Bigger Vats is good alone, but it problematic to refill fast enough without better faster grinders. But if there will be a demand for it, then I can try doing it after I get free time.

oof VNPE Reimagined adds a bit too much would it be possible to update this so people who only want the deep vats

Now integrated in VNPE Reimagined Progression

Monster_Domosed, the mod is almost done, currently preparing for release.

Is there ETA on combined mods? I really like this mod

After 1.6 will be out this mod will be combined with other one into a new one with revising of VNPE fully.

That's... odd, my Medium vats weren't doing that when I replaced the smalls, I'm fairly sure. I'll doublecheck.

LetTheMossReclaimYou, it inhereting this from the VNPE itself, so not much can be done about it.

Small Nutrient Paste Vats, when placed indoors under mountain roofs, will show a rain overlay when it's raining outside, despite being fully indoors.

many thanks!

The Stricken One, not fully sure, but I think it didn't cound wealth based on percentage of it being filled with paste. Only cost of Vat itself counts towards wealth. But for more accurate info you can try asking in Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded mod page.

do the meals inside the vat count towards colony wealth?

@Sumatris right now im running a colony, there are 8 colonists, 12 prisoners, 6 slaves and 20+ animals. My cooks are always busy cooking for guests (im playing with hospitality). I also have to feed patients that come from "hospital" mod via paste drippers. Also, before installing nutrient paste system i had 10k insect meat and 10k human meat laying around, clogging my storage. So thats why you would need huge storage vats

teres_draconis, same as with the ones from original mod VNPE: as long as they have power the content inside will not spoil, but without power it can stay for almost a day without power without spoiling.

Do the deep vats need to be refrigerated? Asking for a friend.

J/K - Asking for me.

Sumatris, paste feeder will spawn paste on top of itself and keep it, usually the most universal auto way to feed animals.

@Zerg: Thanks for the explanation. I guess I never even considered playing a colony without a regular food supply, and I rarely expand past 12-15 pawns. As for animals, can they use the dispenser? Or do I have to dispense manually and feed them the meals? The former would definitely be new (and helpful) to me ^^.

Sumatris, if a lot of pawns, including animals and prisoners; if you get raw food supply rarely, so you need to save it for long till next acquiring of raw food; if you not cooking at all. It less of a need for more paste and more of space efficiency, cause default ones can take a lot of space, while such big one will allow you to have way smaller food storage. Originally XL and XXL wasn't a thing, but eventually it was requested and become a thing. Depending on playstyle people pick either small ones or big ones.

I always appreciate mods like this one, but I gotta ask: who needs that much nutrient paste? I usually install 3-4 normal vats for emergencies and growth vat supply, but my pawns' meals still come from regular cooking most of the time. What sort of colony do you need to run to regularly require hundreds or even thousands of paste meals?

jtseyman, Additional questions will be, does this also happens when you make vat from VNPE itself without this mod? And do you maybe have other mods that might change something about contruction process? Technically speaking on it own sub mod like this shouldn't cause the issues, cause it xml only mod and there is no custom code that changes anything about VNPE itself. So the issues might be with compatability of other mod with VNPE vats on it own.

When I tried to build one of your deep vats I got in the error log: Exception in JobDriver tick for pawn CC driver=JobDriver_ConstructFinishFrame (toilIndex=1) driver.job=(FinishFrame (Job_2611640) A = Thing_Frame_VNPE_NutrientPasteVat_Giant2584197 Giver = JobGiver_Work [workGiverDef: ConstructFinishFrames])

jtseyman, not really sure what VNPE issue you refering to and neither why you can't build them. So might need to explain a bit more for me to understand what you meant.

The vats in this mod seemed to have the same problem Vanilla nutrient paste expanded did. They don't have a thing class meaning I cannot build them save for the medium (original) one.

All I can say at the moment, that neither this nor original mod had any changes since last time I checked all compatabilities and issues.

Varlun, would be nice to know what exact error it says.

This mod is throwing an error, duplicate XML line. Is that to be expected since it's overriding a value? It's a red line in the error log, I usually try to get rid of those. Is it ignorable?

There seem to be a bug with the Vats, where you can see rain and other sorts of weather can been when they are placed under a roof or Mountain roof

You are an amazing person. Appreciate it.

Deimos kai Aischylos, for new vats Mod folder - Defs - ... in file storageCapacity value. For 2x2 Mod folder - Patches - ... in file same.

You underestimate how very little I understand about even the most basic aspects of this game, but thank you. I'll tinker a bit and see what I can do. I appreciate the response.

Deimos kai Aischylos, you can localy change values to your liking in mod Defs. All current values was counted by taking 1x1x1 cylinder with volume for 45 and others by 2x2x2 and 3x3x3, which based on texture proportions.

I do really like the concept of the mod, but do wish the meal amounts were lower. 45 for the small vat feels fair, though, I'll add. Either way, a good addition.

ok thanks

chicks99, CE doesn't change anything about food iirc. Overall same compatability as original Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded, since it pretty simple change and addition.

CE?

Thanks. Sorry, I should've check there also.

lloki, I think I saw a lot of similar comments below original mod, so check original mod comments and, if it is same issue as you experiencing, then ig you can only wait when they fix it.

I don't know if it's because of this mod or this is a general problem, but I'm getting an alert that there is no nutrient storage connected (while it's connected and everything is working fine).

Now we need to be able to add them into hydro basin for more crop yield!

Pastey!

this is yes
