A nutrient paste dispenser converts raw food into nutrient paste meals, it requires a hopper in order to do so and needs electrical power to be operated. The dispenser provides food on a demand basis.

Colonists consuming nutrient paste meals will suffer the “Ate awful meal” thought, which is slightly less punishing than the "Ate raw food” thought mood debuff, and provides more nutrition than raw food alone.

One hidden property of the dispenser is that it will act as a wall capable of separating rooms, accepting conduits and blocking temperature. This allows you to place hoppers in a refrigerated space to prevent rot, or to point a dispenser into a prisoner room where colonists can safely fill the hopper from outside the prison.

-The dispenser provides food in an on demand basis. As long as the dispenser is powered and there is food in a connected hopper, a hungry colonist or a colonist feeding a prisoner will operate the dispenser to receive one nutrient paste meal.
-Colonists may eat food raw, but the [[Thoughts_list#Eating|“Ate awful meal” thought]] gives less [[mood]] debuff than the “Ate raw food” thought, and provides more nutrition than raw food alone.
-Nutrient paste meals have advantages over meals prepared by a cook. The greatest advantage is that it is extremely efficient on food reserves. It only consumes 0.3 nutrition worth of ingredients to produce a meal with 0.9 nutrition, whereas fine meals or pemmican use 0.5 nutrition to provide the same amount.
-A second less important advantage is that nutrient paste meals never cause [[Ailments#Food_Poisoning|food poisoning]], while meals prepared by a cook always have a [[Food_Poison_Chance|chance]] of causing food poisoning.
-Colonists will prefer eating a simple meal or berries instead of using the dispenser. Using a [[fueled stove]], an [[electric stove]] or even a [[campfire]] provides better meals.
