Base Stats
Chocolate is a food item which provides a small amount of nutrition, filling a colonist's hunger meter by 10% per unit consumed. Unlike most other foods, it also grants a bonus to Joy of 10% per unit.
Usefulness
The low nutritional value and rarity of chocolate makes it a poor choice to try to sustain a colony with, but its joy-boosting properties make it excellent for keeping colonists' mood up.
Colonists will eat no more than 4 units of chocolate at a time, and won't touch it on their own unless they are desperate for food. Manually directing troubled colonists to eat it when necessary is advised.
Acquiring chocolate
Chocolate cannot be produced by your colonists. It can be purchased from bulk goods trader, and occasionally arrives in cargo pods.
In the 1.0 update chocolate can be acquired by planting the new cocoa trees, making chocolate an average way of earing money aswell as easy mood and food increase.
