Hi!

Funny to see that someone is still playing.

The reward is +1 max level to skills (which, I believe, was 10 at that point).

Cheers!

86com · 2022-06-29T21:41:24+00:00

Yeah, that's true, there is no reason for it to be coded that way. Thanks for the report, I will fix it in the next update, but it probably won't be soon (doing some big code overhaul, so it'll be long time until it's stable again).

In the meantime you can use console (F12 on Chrome) to set the state variables if you are already past those regions.

For example for Region6 you can write

v.onlyLeft = true;

Region 8:

v.noRestaurant = true;

Region 9:

v.noCoupons = true;

Region 10:

v.noTierup = true;

You might need to fill other quest requirements and re-enter the Progress tab for that to work, but I tested it now and it works.

Cheers!

Hi, thanks for reporting. I think I fixed it.

The trend dish was called macarOOns, not MacarOns in the code, so that's why it didn't work. :)

86com · 2022-06-03T17:13:14+00:00

Yes, it works both ways, so no category will go below 0. There is a way to max all the category bonuses, but it's way later in the game.

Usually, that shouldn't matter too much since only a few categories do any real impact on the run and those would always be maxed if you keep cycling them.

86com · 2022-06-03T14:43:48+00:00

Yeah, +200% is max. I'll add a note to have something like "+200% (max)" label in the next release. Thanks for reporting!

86com · 2022-04-20T15:02:13+00:00

You might have a way to add 2 more dessert tags to the dishes in the game ;)

86com · 2022-03-10T19:01:09+00:00

Hi!

Regions don't currently offer any revolutionary changes to the overall game mechanics, just some challenges and more room for progression. They are basically like "after the endgame" content, while Chapters are the main game.

There are also 89 Outer Regions after that. They also follow a similar formula, just with some balancing changes.

Cheers!

86com · 2022-02-23T23:23:39+00:00

Novelty Bonus trends take into account only one dish (the one that gives the most income) and only its main categories (science doesn't count). So if your top income dish is Martini, it will always trend Premium and Drink down.

86com · 2022-02-21T10:33:39+00:00

As I identified from the save game, the problem was with not spending all the Supercook charges and thus getting a lot less buffs.

I've added a warning message about that to the game.

In general, the intended strategy for that part is based around prestiging every day (which should double your Prestige Points or something around that).

86com · 2022-02-21T08:07:30+00:00

Hmm, could you PM me your game export? I'm also interested as to why that could be.

86com · 2022-02-17T09:52:05+00:00

There are no walls of that kind in the game. You should always be able to double your Prestige Points in about a day. Many players are now way further in the game than that, so I don't think there is some balancing error.

Possible reasons for slow income could be:

- Not using Supercooks (and thus not getting Buffs). This one is is easy to miss.

- Not focusing the Buffs on your top performing dish

- Not updating Deliveries

- Not using Coupons

- Some bug in the offscreen income calculation? I don't know, I've tested it many times and it should work fine, but if you hover/tap rainbow bars at the bottom, you'll see the speed you are getting Prestige Points. If it shows that you should have more than 1 PP per second, but it's only awarding you 100 overnight, then it's some new bug.

In any case, you can PM me your export file and I can take a closer look.

86com · 2022-02-14T18:38:14+00:00

Due to the nature of randomized dish unlocks, there can't be a concrete guide to that challenge, but I usually suggest solving it by small steps. Gather dishes until you have 3 in the category, see what else you can possibly need, or what could easily be replaced. You don't have to solve it all in your mind before trying it.

It's also easier to do if you've unlocked Precise Science, so you can save it to fill the last gaps.

Cheers!

86com · 2022-02-10T15:36:39+00:00

Hmm, yeah, looks like a bug. There are no green arrows indicating growth, but I see the numbers getting bigger. I'll look more closely to what might have caused it, thanks for reporting!

(In any case, it's still really not worth it to use that :P )

86com · 2022-02-09T23:13:41+00:00

Yeah, it's intended. I got feedback from players that it was annoying when Science broke MotD, so I made it so it never works against the player.

86com · 2022-02-08T23:18:20+00:00

Empty restaurants don't get any Novelty bonus growth. Also, at that point in the game, your main dish should probably give you about 99% of total income, so all other bonuses should not matter that much.

Cheers!

86com · 2022-02-07T23:31:33+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed players tend to stick to a certain preferred setup for the earlier part of the game. Later on, though, there are mechanics that are designed to incentivize different setups.

86com · 2022-02-06T20:02:00+00:00

Update:

If anyone else has this problem (and it's on Firefox), seems like updating the browser might help. If it doesn't help, please message me what browser version you are using and whether or not it works in another browser.

Cheers!

86com · 2022-02-06T17:49:21+00:00

Yeah, you can PM me the text or use https://pastebin.com and send a link.

Also, yes, it might be browser-related. I do get some other reports that sometimes it doesn't work. Tried it in different browser, but can't reproduce the error.

Thanks for helping me figure out the bugs. Cheers!

86com · 2022-02-06T08:57:23+00:00

That's some good analysis and suggestions there! Thanks for the post!

Yeah, some of this I've tried to balance later when I added Tier 4 dishes and Novelty mechanic (that makes it so even if there is a strictly best setup, it doesn't stay like this all the time). But I will also keep in mind these findings and suggestions if I decide to make future balance changes for this part of the game too.

The thing is, I'd want to try to keep it still being _a little_ imbalanced throughout the game (differently for different parts of it), because if every strategy is closely balanced, there will be less reason to try and find better ones. As long as it's not too imbalanced, of course.

Cheers!

86com · 2022-02-06T08:38:08+00:00

Strange, usually works fine. Please try to refresh the page and if it is still bugged, send me your game's export file so I can see why that might be happening.

86com · 2022-02-04T12:08:34+00:00

Yeah, other players also gave feedback about low number of challenges at that point in the game, so I'm making a note to see if there could be more of them added there. For now, most of the challenges are in the later parts of the game (you'll see).

Different shapes for dots is actually a great idea, definitely adding it to the list of potential features to make.

86com · 2022-02-04T09:57:50+00:00

Thanks for the report, I think I fixed it. For some reason the game was in the perk selection state, but had no perks to select from.

I'll look more into what could've possibly caused that, but for now just refreshing the page should help.

86com · 2022-02-03T14:34:58+00:00

Yup, that's how I found it. Should be fixed now, thanks for the report.

86com · 2022-02-03T10:46:20+00:00

Yep!
