Just noticed that cooked food acts just as any food, wouldn’t it make more sense for Hearthlings to eat cooked food if avaliable as opposed to eating raw veggies having cooked food right beside them?

This would be excellent. As would be a “shelves” type furniture for storing food, visibly, within your dining hall. Maybe hearthlings could look for a food source nearest a dining table? Would be great to see food go off after a few days, or attracting a vermin event if you overhoarded. Also food s…

I was looking for some information on the raw and cooked food much like original poster but seems his query was side tracked big time, I’ve noticed also hearthlings eating raw foods sitting next to cooked. I also noticed that it says in the update that cooked food last longer, all my hearthlings ru…

I don’t know if this is still happening for others, but it’s happening for me on the 524 x64 release. So far the hearthlings prefer everything raw to cooked food. There is a cooked food only stockpile, but it is next to another stockpile that has only raw materials. [image]

I’d like to bump this and say this is still happening. Hearthlings on the newest version (latest build on steam) will always eat the closest object that’s edible instead of preferring cooked foods. For example, when it comes to lunch time and there’s a large harvest of raw foods, they’ll take the ra…

I, also, would like to bump this thread. It seems that my cooking efforts are wasted when nobody eats any of the prepared food. Is there any way we can have someone look into this? In the meantime, who has had success getting their hearthlings to eat cooked food?

The trick is to use their behaviour to get them to do what you want. They go directly from wherever they are to whatever food is closer, so make sure that the cooked food is closer (from wherever they come from usually) than the raw food. For example, have a “pantry” room with only one entrance/exi…
