This plugin adds a functional ration production system forcing citizens to work for their rations instead of getting free and out of thin air.
When you set up the entities make sure to use the ration dispenser of this plugin and not the regular one otherwise this plugin is pointless
It is important to know that some of the machines can wear off while being used, which also adds another item that will fix the machines when needed.
To fix machines that need repair, get a toolbox from a CP or think of another way to obtain it and hit 'Use' on machines with high wear. Ration tokens are also obtained from CP so it can work under the workcycle event or you can think of your own way of doing it.
You can modify this plugin however you want, my only demand if you happen to upload it anywhere credit me for it.
