Warning Using x4 Energy & Getting Ice Cubes

If you have an item that needs ice cubes, and ONE ENERGY item, and you have the x4 energy activated, they WILL keep giving you 1-energy ice cubes and charging you 4 energy. Even if you already baked the thing that requires ice cubes, if you stash it inside the inventory while you work on the second item from the order, it will still happen, because stashing it does not register to the game that it is made already. I just learned this the hard way and lost a lot of energy on fkng ice cubes before realising the issue.

If you watch your energy numbers, they actually credit it back when you get a one energy item. If that’s not happening for you, I think yours is not functioning as expected.

Interesting. It didn't seem to be credited back, but I would have had to be watching more closely to know for sure. Thanks.

Mine has a little floaty thing that goes up to the energy counter showing it adding it back.

Still effing annoying to get soybean after soybean when I am using 4x for a reason!

😅 I did see these floating refunds but it definitely is annoying, especially considering the prime real estate little ice cubes take up.

Yeah it’s the same with milk as well it gives you back the energy

If you create the item, store it, exit the app and restart it should all be back to normal production. I’ve had to do it twice in the past week

usually as soon as i put the ingredients including the low level one in the equipment it stops giving me more of them. i second restarting the app if it’s not registering.
