Is it possible for an option that links health to variety?

Like a decrease in immunity gain speed while having low variety or an increase at high levels of variety? Just to provide some additional challenge.

that's a good idea, I'll add it to the planned features list

There could be diseases, like curvy. Otherwise, people cheating through the winter by eating very diverse ... meat:
"I had otter meat, wolf meat, and venison, minced with hare meat. It was very diverse!" ;-)

To be honest, I am currently selectively hunting diverse animals during winter. A doe here, a hare there, then a turkey, then a wolf, followed by a boar, andsoon...
Of course, nothing wrong about eating diverse meat, I would certainly be bored to eat venison all the day long, but in reality, I would also need to pair it with fruits and veggies.

In winter, there should be the challenge to get enough vegetables and fruits, even if hard to get (that's the fun about the winter!), by collecting and storing vegetables and fruits properly during summer, drying or canning it, and/or consider buying fruits and vegetables with your precious money just to get over winter healthy.

On the plus side, eating regularly both meat and vegetables/fruits could give you an immunity boost. ("well fed" immunity boost)

just here wondering if nutrient paste will ever be an option, because with this mod its only good for livestock. maybe flavoured nutrient paste could add variety?

@none if the nutrient paste has different ingredients, then it should count as additional variety.

Is it possible to add a setting which make drugs not count as a meal?

Hi ! Thanks for the mod and the 1.5 update ! I was wondering, is it possible to tie the variety need to the Ideology ? Like "Variety need :" "strong", "normal", "low" and "don't care" which affects the number of ingredients required and maybe the strength of mood buff / debuff ?
And do you have a Ko-Fi ?

Hey! A while ago i think you mentioned the possibility of redo-ing Variety Matters Dinner Time alongside this. Is that still a possibility? As far as I'm aware there isn't another mod out there that creates the same "dinnertime" experience of all your pawns eating at the same time, and I think that's a really neat bit of immersion.

Could you add a compatibility patch for Big and Small: Vampires and Demons' Draculs? They don't eat, they only drink blood, so they shouldn't care about food diversity when they can only drink blood.

Would be awesome to have an option for pawns to prioritise standard meals over survival meals.
To only eat survival meals if there's no other alternative.

@Johnny I just have separate food policies for at home vs. on a caravan, where the home one bans pemmican and packaged survival meal.

Is it a mod you are using that allows you to have caravan policies? Otherwise if you mean manually switching pawns policies for those in a caravan.. it isn't practical at all.

How I have it now is by using the Locks mod I created a tiny closet near the kitchen where my cooks store the survival meals, and only them have access to it.

Hope to support translation of settings content
