Concept: machine that is difficult to obtain and maintain, but worthwhile.
Nutrient Block Machine - a machine that converts edible materials into nutrient blocks.
Size and Appearance - this machine contains 2 containers with a connecting tube between them. The left-side chamber (larger of the two) contains the Intake Panel and the Mixing Chamber; shows a spinning device and a small water intake valve leading outside. The small gap (Chopper) connects the left side to the right side; shows a knife. The right-side chamber contains the Dehydrator and the Outtake Panel; shows a wire rack with steam vents (steam comes out when the device is working).
Mechanics - 5 total components. Only produces 1 Nutrient Block at a Time.
1 Intake Panel - 4x4 container where edible items are placed. Cannot be reclaimed.
2 Mixing Chamber - mixes food together into a homogeneous mass. Water provided through valve in case water value is below 0.
3 Chopper - cuts mass of food into a block equaling 75 food. Process will stop if total food value is below 75.
4 Dehydrator - dehydrates the block to remove water value.
5 Outtake Panel - 2x2 storage of finished Nutrient Blocks.
Material Cost - 2 titanium, glass, wiring kit, lubricant, survival knife.
Placement - one wall section of the Multipurpose Room. Snap-to-grid placement like the Water Filtration Machine.
Time - 20 minutes to fully produce 1 Nutrient Block, 80 minutes for all 4.
Power Cost - 0.5 energy per second, 1200 energy for a single Nutrient Block, 4800 energy for all 4 blocks.
Location - Data Box or Single Fragment in the Dunes or Mountains biomes where danger is prominent.

Comments
The knife doesn't make sense for this. Remember that you're probably going to be fabricating the blocks like you would anything else; so printing lasers would be the best idea.
Fun fact: The concept/fan art for the Threadbumper and Forumprowler were developed alongside a fan-made submarine called the 'Idauntgiva-Ship'
Other than that, good idea
