While I adore Biotech and the genetics aspect of it (and I also like the concept of a metabolic cost), the implementation of it feels incredibly unsatisfying (in the same way Gourmand as a trait is). Creating a high metabolism pawn chains them to the dinner table, rendering them unable to sleep, hunt, or be drafted without starving.

That's where this mod comes in. It introduces 4 new genes with a 200%, 300%, 400%, and 500% stomach size increase. It also adds a 150% increase in stomach size to the Gourmand trait. The genes have no metabolic cost.

When creating a new xenotype/genotype, simply add the stomach size closest to (but still greater than) your metabolic cost to unchain your pawn from the dinner table and allow him to be a contributing member of society.


... or, if you want to break things, you can add multiple stomach size genes. However, do be aware that they will multiply themselves (so 500% + 400% = 2000%, not 900%).

Edit: An update has been added that adds feasts to stoves. Feasts are half as nutritious as meals but are produced in double quantity and always in bulk (8 at a time). Meals will always be eaten 1 at a time (vanilla behavior that I have had no luck working around). However, pawns will grab a stack of Feasts and fill their hunger bars completely.

If you have trouble with pawns not eating feasts, check your food restrictions. This took me a lot longer to figure out than I care to admit.
