Cooks that won't cook!
My cooks have stopped cooking, and are just wandering around in the kitchen. The meal variety and quality are both set to low at the moment. Why have my cooks stopped cooking?
I don't think that any food ingredients have arrived either, but i'm not sure what causes them to be delivered.

So, are they not cooking at all ever? even when you have mealtime on your regimes?
generally cooks only start cooking 4hours before(may be 3) mealtime is due. Therefore, if you have no mealtime in your regime, your cooks will never cook.
The ingredients arrive at midnight for the next day.
Hope this helps

well, they aren't, and the prisoners get pretty mad during mealtime with no meals...

I had a similar thing once before. None of the cooks were doing anything at all. I restarted the game and then shortly afterwards they started moving around sorting out all of the food. At the same time the cash flow went up slightly due to a few additional prisoners arriving so I never did see if it was to do with maybe not having enough money to pay for the food or not (I must learn to keep a better eye on that in the future).
Do unto others as they do unto you.

yup
This bug just made the alpha completely unplayable for me. After all the time and effort I put into a prison and now my cooks just stopped without reason....... this game is getting shelved until I get a release alert that this bug is fixed.

Re: Cooks that won't cook!
Hey,
my cooks don't cook at all...here is my prison:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ticfghqrnfwe ... x0ONju3P1a
What am I doing wrong?
edit: figured it out...if you open my savegame you will see I added some fridges in the hallway, but didn't expand the kitchen room to the hallway. All ingredients were on those fridges in the hallway and not the ones in the actual kitchen (I don't know why they don't show up on those in the kitchen too, though). After expanding the kitchen, the cooking started.

Re: Cooks that won't cook!
I had the same problem and i used many hours to figure it out. when i change the meal quality to high it all went back to normal i began to get food and the cooks cooked it. i think it is a glitch with the low quality meals
Re: Cooks that won't cook!
I found setting the food quality and quantity to high got my cooks going again. They stopped after completing the food study grant. My problem now is the food waste blocking security doors. Have garbage cans, have available workmen and janitors just walking around. Don't know what I'm missing. Even removed the security doors to make sure they weren't "blocking" the pickup of the items. Stumped here.
Re: Cooks that won't cook!
Please upload a save-file. Maybe i can find the "error".
There can be various reasons for your problem.

Re: Cooks that won't cook!
So, well over a year later and this issue still exists, no matter how many cooks, cookers, serving tables fridges, sinks or inmates I have no one gets food, I don't even get ingredient deliveries no more... How can it have been this long and that one issue is not fixed. All my inmates are starving to death (many already dead) in countless maps, regardless of prison/canteen/kitchen configurations.
