You can actually package food with a package wrapper, and then label it with a hand labeler, I normally place them in boxes with the only issue being that you can’t store them as it would be a balance issue.
I do feel this would be a fun addition and add to some more things for the MSTs to do.

Not really I would imagine. I feel that it would just be another option for Marines to pick from, e.g. Weyland-Yutani MREs.

A pretty nice idea to be honest, would be a great entertainment for MSTs and a funny thing for marines. Doesn’t affect gameplay in any way, but rather a silly thing for more enjoyable experience.

Big time MST player here, This is a good idea, but i think what you’re looking for is custom packages for lunches like my previous Ideaguys post about having lunch bags.

or maybe lunch containers, like bento boxes lol

Yeah I think having it be their own thing like lunch boxes or bento boxes would be better

As said before, this defeats the purpose of an MRE. In real life they are packed using industrial methods and overall the rations are supposed to be compact, you cannot pack them manually, you cannot even assemble normal mre back irl after opening it, what you want is field rations in some lunchboxes or wrappers, i did something like that with CLF rations.

This is why some of us have suggested bento boxes, maybe even a lunchbox of some sort would work. Takes up more space. Although spriting for it would be long and rigorous and would take some dedication probably since the sprite would have to change for each state and food that is inserted.

force the MST to run an MRE assembly station to supply the entire marine force foxhole style

I respectfully and completely disagree with you on the “this defeats the purpose of an MRE,” point. If this is the case, then OT should be outright removed as it makes the available M15s, claymores, and mortars obsolete and unlike custom MREs, custom ordinances can have a direct impact (often a net negative for the side that makes them) on the round.
As for the process itself, thankfully this isn’t real life, since it would require much more machinery to create stuff such as mortars, so I don’t exactly see why a process could not also be simplified for making custom MREs.
It’s unlikely this would be feasible with the current mechanics unless you’re cooking very basic food items and have dual, competent MSTs. More feasible with the current low/dead pop, but normal pop this is unreal.

Still, i don’t think you need “”“MRE”“” for it, if it’s makeshift, it’s makeshift, i imagine MST being able to make food and pack in a way similar to this, but nothing industrial, also OT comparison isn’t very correct since it’s a guy just running a 3d printer, while MRE is a whole assembly line with multiple numerous, and we don’t have reqtorio from TGMC (SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT THIS)

Actually I definitely can get behind this, thank you for clarifying your position and I do agree with the OT counter-point to be honest thinking about it. I think the ration idea would actually be neat if it used a texture similar to this since it gives it an official look still, while staying in line with the tone of the MST role/server.

I really do think we need some more food variety as mess though also in general.

Did that mess expansion ever get merged? I’ve been out a while.
