NPDTiers - The Nutrient Paste Expansion Mod

NPDTiers is a base mod that adds the framework for creating your own Nutrient Paste Dispenser (NPD). Originally, the NPD is hard coded into the game making it difficult to replicate or change. With this mod however, you have more access to things in the xml files such as the meal it will dispense or even whether or not ingredients affect debuffs (like human meat). If you want to create or change the original NPD or any of the ones added by this mod, they are in Defs/Buildings/NewNPDExample.xml inside the mod folder.
