Mod «[D] Thermodynamics - Hot Meals (Continued)» for Rimworld (v1.1 - 1.4)

Makes the temperature of meals matter, meaning colonists will want their hot meals hot and their cold drinks cold.

Compatible with existing saves.

All food items are separated into realistic categories:

• Hot Meals (e.g.: Simple Meals)
• Cold Meals (e.g.: Ice Cream from VGP Gourmet)
• Hot Drinks (e.g.: Coffee from multiple mods)
• Cold Drinks (e.g.: Beer)
• Lukewarm Meals (e.g.: Nigiri from VGP Gourmet)
• Raw Resources (e.g.: Potatoes)
• Nonperishables (e.g.: Packaged Survival Meals)
• Edible Raw (e.g.: Agave fruit)

Food will keep track of its temperature, and its heat will gradually diffuse with the surrounding environment.

Each category has an associated ideal temperature. Colonists will be happy to eat food in the right temperature range, and progressively less happy to eat food outside of the ideal range.

Also adds the microwave to heat meals. Regular cooking appliances can also be used.
(And yes, temperature readouts will change based on whether you're set to C or F)

Each food type's mood bonus or penalty will stack with other food types. Feed them hot coffee, cold beers, and warm food for a significant mood boost! (But watch out for stacking penalties, too)

• Colonists can heat up food that's too cold at a nearby stove (or modded equivalent; can be disabled). This will be done automatically if they can find a nearby heating appliance.
  
  
• With microelectronics completed, you can build a microwave, a dedicated appliance that reheats meals at super speed.
  
  
  
• With electricity completed, you can build a heat lamp, which will keep any food stored in it warmed to the temperature you set.
  
  (Also optionally slows food rot. Enable in Core settings.)
  
  
• Cold drinks are good, as long as they're not frozen; put some beers in the fridge!
  
  
• Frozen food (except for Cold Meals) will impose a significant mood penalty.
  
  
• Consider using some fridges for drinks and cooked meals (except for cold meals; melting ice cream isn't good for anyone).
