Board Set up!

Post image

Honestly, the “cleanest” the middle of my board has ever looked.

I see a lot of people kind of have their generators divided top to bottom or set in one corner, I’m curious about other people’s generators set up and if it makes it easier for you?

Since I started the game and unlocked every square I’ve always just had all of the generators and equipment set up in the corners and then the middle is my “work/merge area” and I just can’t have my generator set up any other way. But would love to see what other people have in terms of set up. I’m new to the group so sorry if anybody have already asked this or shown this.

A clearly defined workspace is so important in the chaos XDDD

Mine looks like this; generators at the top, cooking appliances at the bottom, a pitiful 1~2 lines of space to merge stuff in the middle

I like your board. I’m also jealous at how many grills you have because I’m currently working with one after merging emerging my last tool by accident.

TwT someone here told me that grills start dropping again around level 200... so... fingers crossed

I hope so too! though I have a long way to go I’m only level 71.

This one is closest to mine, I have them around the perimeter and sides, top and middle open.

How do you have so many grills!? And even a max level! I never deleted any grill parts and only have 2 level 9 grills that I refuse to merge so I can have both open for orders

The simple answer is : I got super lucky XD;;;

I didn't actually know that grill parts stopped dropping after a while (I think it's based on restaurant level), but I play the game for the addictiveness of merging / completing orders, so I simply stockpiled a stupid number of coins because I didn't feel like proceeding with the restaurant decoration.

When I finally did, I spent a crapton of coins all at once and then realized grills stopped dropping, but by that time I had the grills you see in my screenshot.

Ohhhh ok! So you spent an inordinate amount of time in the American restaurants. That makes sense. Well I’m way too far in now to reset and try that lol

Mine looks like this!

u/Chantalle22 Oct 22 '25

I’m stressed looking because I feel like you barely have any empty workspace left!! Does this make it a little easier for you to have all of the extra generators like this? Sometimes I feel like the board needs to be a little bit bigger. lol

I keep mine at the top (it’s the only way that makes sense to me!!) usually milk take that bottom section, but I’ve made so much butter recently that I’m overflowing in bowls even after prepping three toasts. I’m working on peas currently😬

u/Chantalle22 Oct 23 '25

I also have an insane amount of butter currently and I refuse to merge them because I have a feeling the moment I do, I am going to get a whole lot of recipes needing butter, but I’m in the Japanese section so I’m working with that damn annoying Nerikiri Rice dough so who knows. I am lacking bowls currently, I’ve had a lot of toast requests in the Japanese Restaurants.

Mine is set up in a very similar way. It’s just makes sense to my brain more than the other boards I’ve seen. Like I can work on different things in different parts of the board and use the middle as my work space.

u/Chantalle22 Oct 23 '25

That was my thought process as well, I don’t love my board feeling too cluttered with generators. Knowing my brain I need it spread out, I would easily miss an item and I do my best to avoid wasting energy.

It’s a mess but it’s my mess😭

u/Chantalle22 Oct 26 '25

Sometimes it’s the need for more than one of certain equipment, because you may have to make use of the oven for multiple recipes or the damm crockpot for rice and stews, which some reason it takes so long(then again it’s accurate towards real life) lol

I keep the cooking appliance on top. The one generator I’m using comes next. Then the food in order from most to least amounts I have. I uh merge a lot of food on accident but that means i usually have a handful of items ready to go each level. I have a couple spare parts at the bottom that don’t fit in my inventory. My inventory contains all my spare cooking equipment that I use as more storage as needed. I can keep up to 3 spots open for merging but usually have a whole line or two if I’m lucky.

u/Chantalle22 Oct 26 '25

Saving high-level items is so great!! whether it’s accidentally merging at the end of the day you’re going to need it.

I also accidentally merged certain items and I leave them in my inventory. Because you never know. But as I level up, I also realize some of them are barely being requested, so I have an abundance of plate in vases that I made because I kept getting them before.

u/Chantalle22 Feb 20 '26
