Furthermore, Federation replicators can be programmed to produce foodstuffs of acceptable \"nutritional value\".<ref name=\"tng-1\">{{TNG|The Price|Sins of the Father|The Wounded|Relics}}</ref><ref name=\"ds9-2\">{{DS9|In the Pale Moonlight|You Are Cordially Invited}}</ref>\n\n{{TOC}}\n\nOn [[Starfleet]] vessels, replicators produced [[synthehol]] versions of [[alcohol]]ic drinks by default, but they could easily be manually readjusted through their control panel to make real alcohol instead.<ref>{{TNG|Up The Long Ladder}}</ref>\n\nIn addition to foodstuffs, replicators could be used for replicating machine parts, clothing, or other objects. Although clothing could be replicated for general wear, replicators would not allow non-Starfleet crewmembers to replicate official Starfleet uniforms. Outgrown or damaged clothing could be returned to the replicator for [[recycling]]. [[Industrial replicator]]s could even be used to replicate heavier machine parts.<ref>{{TNG|The Game}}</ref><ref>{{DS9|For the Cause}}</ref><ref>{{VOY|Caretaker|Phage|Mortal Coil}}</ref>\n\nReplicators had limits to their functionality. If the object desired contained a certain degree of complexity in its molecular structure, it could not be replicated.<ref>{{TNG|The Enemy}}</ref>\n\nReplicators aboard Starfleet vessels would not produce fatal [[poison]]s.<ref>{{VOY|Death Wish}}</ref> Furthermore, replicators had [[biofilter]]s which automatically screened out all contaminants.<ref>{{DS9|Babel}}</ref>\n\nOn Starfleet installations and starships, if a person in custody was confined to quarters, it was standard policy to disable the replicators that the person had access to in order to ensure that a weapon could not be replicated.<ref>{{DS9|Inquisition}}</ref><ref>{{VOY|Counterpoint}}</ref>\n\nReplicators (along with transporters and [[force field]]s) were one of the technologies used in [[holodeck]]s and [[holosuite]]s.<ref>{{VOY|The Cloud|Twisted|Dark Frontier|Pathfinder|Human Error}}</ref>\n\nSome alien replication technology was used to create organic material, such as when the [[D'Arsay archive]] created living snakes. The \"Allegiance\" aliens were also able to create living things, as in the case of [[Jean-Luc Picard]]'s imposter, for which the replicators were even able to recreate the dendritic connections where memory was stored.<ref>{{TNG|Masks|Allegiance}}</ref>\n\nWhile only a [[genetronic replicator]] could fully replicate actual [[organ]]s for use in medical transplants,<ref>{{TNG|Ethics}}</ref> by [[2371]], standard Starfleet replicator technology was theoretically capable of creating artificial substitutes for natural organs for use in transplants. However, this required the system to have some understanding of the organs required; for example, it was impossible to use a replicator to create a set of [[Talaxian]] [[lung]]s, as Talaxian physiology included a complex series of neural links between the lungs and the rest of the body that replicators were unable to duplicate exactly.<ref>{{VOY|Phage}}</ref>\n\n==Criticism==\nSome citizens of the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]], such as [[Robert Picard]], refused to use replicators. Picard was opposed to their use and would not allow them on his property.<ref>{{TNG|Family}}</ref> Similar but less extreme mindsets were not uncommon, and both [[O'Brien's mother 001|Miles O'Brien's mother]] as well as [[Joseph Sisko]] raised their respective children believing that replicated food was less nutritious or generally \"lacking\".<ref>{{TNG|The Wounded}}</ref><ref>{{DS9|Homefront}}</ref>\n\nIn [[2366]], [[Deanna Troi]] expressed her desire to the [[computer]] to have a \"real\" [[chocolate sundae]].

Prior to this, [[T'Pol]] had once saw a similar device on a [[Tarkalean vessel]] that was capable of replicating almost any inanimate object. Until this time, the most comparable technology aboard [[22nd century]] [[starship]]s were [[protein resequencer]]s, which had limited capabilities compared to later technologies.<ref>{{ENT|Dead Stop}}</ref><ref>{{ENT|Fight or Flight|Oasis}}</ref>\n\nIn the [[23rd century]], the [[United Federation of Planets]] had not yet perfected replicator technology for ships but replicators already existed in industrial sites. Replicator technology was, however, in use by [[Assigners' planet|The Assigners]], and the [[Beta 5 computer]] utilized replicator technology to manufacture several false [[identity card]]s for use by [[Gary Seven]].<ref>{{TOS|Assignment: Earth}}</ref> Starships of this time period were equipped with [[food synthesizer]]s. This was a step forward, but did not achieve the quality and sophistication of the [[24th century]] replicator. Replicator technology was not yet employed on starships as late as [[2293]].<ref>{{TOS|The Naked Time|The Trouble with Tribbles}}</ref><ref>{{VOY|Flashback}}</ref>\n\n{{bginfo|The writers guide for the series ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' explained that food was prepared in high-speed equipment and moved to a food slot via a small turbolift, and this was also shown, with no detail, in blueprints of the ship prepared by Franz Joseph in 1974.}}\n[[File:Paris using the food service.jpg|thumb|left|Paris using the food service in the mess hall]]\n[[File:Portable matter replicator.jpg|thumb|A portable matter replicator]]\n24th century Federation starships were commonly equipped with replicators because they allowed for a wide variety of foods and beverages to be served to crew members and also allowed for replication of other objects.

Energy that could otherwise be used on replicator functions was being consumed by the holodeck during several episodes, including \"The Cloud\", in which the crisis was first noted. (However, on several occasions it's mentioned on screen that the general power supply for the ship and the one for the holodecks \"are not compatible\" on ''Voyager''. It may be intentional, in order to protect holodecks and its contents to certain extent even during rapid and ship-wide power failure such as in episode {{ep|Night}}.)}}\n\nThe [[Ocampa]] were provided with food dispensers by the {{dis|Caretaker|Nacene}} in their underground city on {{dis|Ocampa|planet}}.<ref>{{VOY|Caretaker}}</ref>\n{{bginfo|The call sheet listed food dispensers in the set dressing section.}}\n\nLater that year, it became very clear that replicator technology was unknown to the indigenous people of the region around the [[Ocampa (planet)|Ocampan homeworld]]. The [[Kazon]], in particular, repeatedly tried to obtain this technology, as did other races. Captain Janeway feared that if this technology was acquired by a civilization before it was ready, disastrous consequences could ensue. For this reason, and because of the [[Prime Directive]], Janeway refused to give up this technology at any price.<ref>{{VOY|State of Flux}}</ref> By [[2377]], however, the crew of ''Voyager'' had shared replicators to help people feed and clothe themselves a number of times.<ref>{{VOY|Flesh and Blood}}</ref> In contrast, the Ferengi [[Arridor]] and {{dis|Kol|Ferengi}} used a portable replicator to pass themselves off as the [[Great Sages]] of the Takarians.<ref>{{VOY|False Profits}}</ref>\n\n''In [[2374]] in the [[alternate timeline]] known as the [[Year of Hell#Second iteration|Year of Hell]], the replicator system on ''Voyager'' was heavily damaged by attacks from [[Krenim]] [[Krenim warship|warships]], forcing the crew to go to [[emergency ration]]s.''<ref>{{VOY|Year of Hell}}</ref>\n\nIn 2377, ''Voyager'' acquired technology from a race within {{dis|the Void|anomaly}} that had joined [[The Alliance]] which tripled the ship's replicator efficiency.<ref>{{VOY|The Void}}</ref>\n\nIn [[2378]], the young {{dis|Q|Junior}} manipulated a replicator to tell Janeway \"''Make it yourself''\" when she asked it for [[coffee]].<ref>{{VOY|Q2}}</ref> Janeway herself had a tense relationship with her personal replicator.

[[Ira Steven Behr]] commented: \"''I'd like to lose the replicators. They're my least favorite thing in ''Star Trek''. A society that uses replicators is a doomed, finished society.''\" (''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion]]'') [[Ronald D. Moore]] added that \"''Replicators are the worst thing ever. Destroys storytelling all the time. They mean there's no value to anything. Nothing has value in the universe if you can just replicate everything, so all that goes away. Nothing is unique; if you break something, you can just make another one. If something breaks on the ship, it's \"Oh, no big deal, Geordi can just go down to engineering and make another doozywhatsit.\" Or they go to a planet and that planet needed something: \"Oh, hey, let's make them what they need!\" We just hated it and tried to forget about it as much as possible.''\" {{el|www.bleedingcool.com/2017/08/21/ron-moore-replicators-words-wisdom/}}\n\nPer an odd after-credits scene in the {{se|ST}} episode {{ep|The Trouble with Edward}}, [[23rd century]] [[food synthesizer]]s apparently incorporated [[replicator safety protocol]]s, although it remains unconfirmed that ''replicators'' incorporated these as well.\n\n== See also ==\n* [[Matter synthesizer]]\n* [[Industrial replicator]]\n* [[Class 4 industrial replicator]]\n* [[Protein resequencer]]\n* [[Matter-energy conversion matrix]]\n\n== References ==\n{{Reflist|30em}}\n\n== External link ==\n* {{malpha}}\n* {{mbeta}}\n\n[[Category:Replicator technology]]"
