On the other hand, if you have unemployed colonists, they'll eat food without working for it! Make sure you don't hire too many colonists without jobs to avoid wasting food. If there are no calories in your stockpile, they will slowly die. Colonists can perform a variety of tasks that allow your colony to become automated, and fight off legions of zombies! Each colonist costs 8000 calories at lowest and can go as high as 160,000 calories to hire initially, and consumes the amount of rationed calories for each day after. They are spawned in using the banner and assigned jobs using the command tool. The colonist is the only friendly Non-Player Character (NPC) in the game.
