But until now they haven't done anything other than look cool while your Astronauts move them from a Spacecraft to a Storage Compartment.

That changes today in Space Station Continuum v0.200802.1.

The first type of Supplies getting a consumption makeover is Food.

Before your Astronauts can eat at a Food Preparation Station they will now need to fill it with Food Supplies. Upon finding a Food Preparation Station that has no food, Astronauts will now seek out a Storage Compartment containing at least one unit of Food Supplies. If they find one, they will take the Food Supplies to the Food Preparation Station and place them inside before preparing their meal.

One unit of Food Supplies can serve three meals, so your Astronauts won't need to restock the Food Preparation Station until it's been used three times.

To help you manage your Supplies and decide when you'll need to launch your next resupply mission, you can now click on Storage Compartments and Food Preparation Stations to see what's stored inside.

The new Storage Manager window

The contents of your Storage Compartments and Food Preparation Stations are also now included when saving/loading your game.

So in summary, your now need the following before your Astronauts will be able to eat:

A Food Preparation Station
A Storage Compartment
At least one unit of Food Supplies in that Storage Compartment. Food Supplies can be added to a Spacecraft Manifest before launching.

Consumption of Food and other Supplies will play a very important part in managing your Station in the upcoming Career Mode, and this update makes for a fun new mechanic to experiment with in Sandbox Mode.

As always, if you notice anything unusual with this update please report it in the Bug Report Thread.
