Oh yay, my favourite neglected department. Hope you don't mind me effortposting all over your thread before you've got those sheets ready.
Assume I think everything I'm not commenting on is just great.
Damage makes you move at half speed, though. Sometimes I find myself picking at the donuts in crew quarters after some traitor's assaulted me, or I've been shocked by a door, but it never helps because I'm just too hurt for food to work. So if Medbay isn't on the ball, I'm stuck moving like a garden snail for the rest of the round even though the danger has passed and noone's served by my slowness.
Would be nice if food healed a little more generously, maybe much slower than chems, or with side effects. IIRC, everything that wasn't made in the Kitchen is full of sugar or Discount Dan's Goddamn Poison Brew, which both have nasty effects.
I miss their drinks, mainly. We have like seven mixable drinks that actually get a proper name when mixed, two are non-alcoholic and two are secret. (Grog and Suicider, there I said it.) The problem with implementing more without stealing from /tg/ is that, well, we both pull from real world drinks. OTOH, some coder was talking about just letting us name drinks with some machine. That'd be cool too.
(And besides, all I know is coffee drinks, and we don't have Kaluha.)
What I'd love to see is more freeform food, like how cakes, pizzas and fried stuff is now. That'd take a lot more coding, but it'd be nice to be able to just slap whatever between two hamburger buns, or on top of a bread slice and get a [whatever] burger/sandwich out of the oven. As it is, I tried to make a banana pie and accidentally rediscovered banana bread.
They just lost their conveyor belt. I would be for either that or the old disposals tube from Mushroom station.

It would add an inconvenience to the station as a whole in order to improve the game of 2 players - I think as a rule this kind of design should be avoided. For example, the money-making game is interesting if you want to play HoP/miner/botanist like that, but not participating in it doesn't really take anything away from one's experience of the game. Space debt collectors aren't going to make you walk at 1/2 speed because the payroll has to be suspended, and hunger shouldn't do anything like that either.

Quote:Once again, I'm not suggesting a hunger system or anything. I admit I am jealous of the sheer range of food and drink on /tg/-station (although as far as I can tell little of it does anything but look pretty) but am looking for ways to improve what we have without copying anything wholesale.

Quote:Oh, also: would it be ridiculous for Hydroponics to have a cargo transporter-esque device for sending produce directly to the kitchen, if this is implemented?
