Food Tier List! (ONI: Spaced Out!)

I have about 1700 hours of experience playing Oxygen Not Included and thought it would be a good idea to make a tier list of which Foods I tend to prioritise when trying to feed my duplicants. This is quite a subjective list where I'm ranking the foods mostly based on what I think gives you the best quality and other useful benefits vs the amount of complexity and effort it takes to set up their sustainable long term production, and how useful the foods are in the early game for getting your colony out of starvation. I'm less interested in calorie resource efficiency as I find that once you're out of the very early game, there are usually enough resources at your disposal to produce as much food as you need, and Oxygen becomes a bigger constraint to your Dupe count than the amount of Food they require.
Let me know if you have any comments on this list! I'm keen to see if you've made better use of Lettuce, Nosh Beans, and their related recipes than I have so far.

    Since bleachstone is now craftable with the hopper would you now consider water weeds to be a more viable food source

    Absolutely! Now you can boil a Salt Water Geyser output with a Gold Volcano and get reliable Bleach Stone with the hopper. The quantity is not amazing but certainly enough for a few Waterweeds. I would move Lettuce up to C-tier as you're gonna have a relatively low throughput and it's better saved for more advanced recipes. I'd probably move the Mushroom Wrap up to where the Mixed Berry Pie is and the Frost Burger up to the top of C-tier (still don't think you need the stress reduction and Athletics penalty most of the time).

    Specifically for Waterweeds, your point on them taking too much space while wild farming is stretching it. Yes, you need 4x as many Waterweeds for wild farming. But Lettuce is used for 2 things, Mushroom Wrap (which is not really used as a main food source in many colonies) and Frost Burgers. Frost Burgers need so, so little Lettuce per Burger, that to feed even 40 normal dupes with Burgers, you'd only need ~30 wild planted Waterweeds (main issue is getting the sleet wheat and bbq).

    I realize it hadn't been introduced at the time, but I just want to say nowadays Mushroom Quiches would be S tier IMHO. It's a bit complicated to setup because it has several parts to it, but once it's setup it's incredibly good. It's super resource efficient, it has the max moral bonus, it comes with the seafood buff and it has the highest calory/weight ratio in the game which makes it perfect to feed the Tree God thingy. Plus, the Frosty Planet DLC buffed anything made from omelettes because floxes are good for omelettes and also alveo veras provide seed which are great for pacus, themselves amazing for omelettes.

    100% you can pip plant Pincha Peppernuts. Actually very viable for a lot of foods since you need so little Pinchas per food, like Pepper Bread.

    Imagine eating the food one produces in ONI irl... Meat from drowned Baby Animals, Fish that lived in piss the whole life, eating Squirrels that one locked for years to do farming (planting), Eating meat that was cooked seconds before it decayed to make it "fresh" again and so on. Let aside my disabled washing basins in the colony so my dupes get food poisoning to use the bathroom more frequently (what then makes me more water, which i use to water the plants, the dupes are going to eat) Somehow strange thinking about what one does to their colony. But also efficient, on the other hand. Efficiency is what´s all about, right? :D

    Pincha Peppernuts can be wild planted. Horizontally, the spacing is the same, but vertically you need one additional space due to pip planting calculations and the slightly skewed detection box.

    Pepper Bread can last 40 cycles in a refrigerator with a sterile atmosphere. Just for that it makes it a good option for space as well. I would put it in S tier. Compared to Grubfruit Preserves you can reach up to 160 cycles, refrigerated and sterile, before it goes off. Also S tier in my opinion since the byproduct of making this is BBQ.

    fish omelette is very great. only 3 fishes can feed 9 dupes. no operation all you need is some seeds which can get from arbor for free quality doesn't matter apart from maximum difficulty. I think the main criteria are resource consumption and acquisition difficulty

    Ah yes spice. Freshener Spice is okay early if you're struggling to get a freezer working and are already growing a lot of Mealwoods and the map has plenty of Salt. Rocketeer Spice I generally haven't gotten around to using yet. Brawny Spice I don't think I'd use too much as the Supplying skills usually give you more than enough extra carrying capacity and the Waterweed seeds / Iron cost is a bit hefty. Machinist Spice is pretty good provided you have some Pufts for generating Slime; the extra Operating skill can be very useful.

    @@erisia_gaming Thank you for such a quick reply. I've played other great games such as factorio, satisfactory, dyson sphere program, mindustry, etc... and yet I'm still overly impressed by the dynamic physics engine that this game presents. Not just that but the expressions and interactions of the dupes when their happy, tired, sad, sick, pissed off is so comical. I love this game! And it is a bit of a challenge. The hardest hurdle is not getting stuck mid game by the heat death trap.... other than that, not too bad...
