whats the current food meta?

Hey ive been out of the game for awhile whats the best food tray meta for maximizing getting out of cryo and to prep the fastest with the most nutrition to least bites ratio?

Eat 13 pasta trays to maximize the amount of nutriment in your system before you can’t eat anymore

Take bites of nearest marines while you make your way into the prep room, Thats the most efficient way to be there faster

Here, a tutorial to be the fastest marine into prep.

As you can see, in this meta, you cannot waste time interacting with a vendor, grabbing food trays, no no… You must be on your way to prep already, munching on that burger and beef jerky you stored with you on cryosleep, it may be a bit cold, but it will get the job done.

Now, most importantly, you went to cryosleep with boots (brown or jungle, pick your favorite pattern), so now you can be double as fast when you get out of cryo, be the first one to grab that mag harness, or your favorite spec kit.

Yeah, the reason people have to eat 7 trays spamming Z is because it takes a bit for the food to reduce hunger, so if you eat slowly and give time for the nutrients to get processed, your hunger will decrease more with less food

Obviously get either chicken or pizza as those taste the best!

Well I went code diving and did some testing on a local server. Here’s more than you ever needed to know about this:

When it comes to the ColMarTech food vendors, the answer is a bit boring: It’s actually protein bars.

Protein bars have 8 nutriment, which is lower than several other options in prep. But its bite size is 4. Bite size is the rate at which you consume reagents in food. So you get 4 nutriment per use, with two uses. That’s the highest nutriment/nutrition per bite you can get from those vendors, as every food you can get from it contains only nutriment. They have no distinct ingredients. Congratulations, you’ve been eating nutrient paste this whole time!

Other foods can outpace this easily – you get larger bite sizes and more ingredients from many of the food the Mess Tech can make. And ingredients process simultaneously. Not all ingredients yield nutrition (the stuff that matters), but many do.

But when it comes to what you can spawn with, as far as I can tell, one stands above the rest: Corn. Fucking corn, guys. I shit you not.

Corn contains 3 vegetable matter and 5 corn oil. Corn oil is 33% more efficient and faster at creating nutrition than nutriment and nutriment analogs (such as vegetable matter, etc). And with a bite size of 5, it takes two bites to knock out an ear of corn. Since it contains multiple ingredients, it metabolizes faster than just pure nutriment.

You can only spawn with three. But that’s kinda all you need. Just cram those down as you walk over to the ColMarTech vendor and supplement with protein bars.

Me? I’ll stick to my chicken.
