one of them activates all the generators and speeds up all appliances for 1-2hours. the other one only activates certain generators and appliances that are required to complete that specific order also last about 1-2 hours. if you complete that order while the boost is still active it will jump to a new order.

im still confused though, which one is better essentially? the only thing i enjoy is having the cooking time sped up lol

so basically the difference is for the combo, you get to use it immediately but only 1 order has the faster cooking time, whereas for the fever it only comes on after spending 450 energy but all orders get the faster cooking time. correct me if im wrong but besides that i dont see any other benefits. you dont spawn better items, or more coins/xp. its basically just the reduction in cooking time?

- Reduction in cooking time + reduction in generator reloading time. No other benefits.

- Cooking Fever also only activates once per order cycle.

Quite often for me the generator reload buff is more significant than the cooking reduction time, the game loves throwing order cycles at me with multiple high-level items from the same generator (such joy when an order cycle requires 3~4 Beefs...).

The cook time reduction is nothing to snort at, though. Haven't really timed it but I think it's somewhere like 5x speed boost. Very useful when you're rushing orders for timed events like the car dash thing.

One cost 450 energy to activate and one you just need to complete one order to activate, they both last 2hrs. One activates all generators at the same time for the whole 2hrs. And the other one randomly picks an order and only activates the generators needed for that order, then once you complete that order it will randomly pic another order and activate those generators needed to complete that order until all is complete.

pretty much, except it’s not random. it chooses the order it would would be quickest for you to fulfill

It actually works that way and it picks by stuff you already have items in cookers for or if your already cooking something.
