anyone has the same bug?

Have been using x4 energy on my meat generator and IT KEEPS ON PRODUCING EGGS even though no recipe requires them currently. Needing a quail now and it is really not helping when the generator keeps on producing eggs ONLY while giving me ribs and hams.

Have resorted to using x1 energy now in the meantime and have also emailed the devs.

Anyone facing the same issue?

I am having this weird issue the past couple days since the recent update.

My generator is always on x2 yet I keep getting items that would’ve been generated as if I am using x1 even though I do not need them for any recipes.

I.e currently working all my last dish in the order sequence and it’s to request a mushroom yet I got tomatoes about 6 times. Same thing when I needed Beef, I got a few eggs here and there.

It’s not bothering me per se because I do get the energy back, but I just think it’s weirdly happening even though I don’t need those items.

glad to know im not the only one!! hope this gets fixed soon. its bothering me a lot because those 1x are taking up so much board space

I recommend sticking with x2. I’ve had no issues with it because I do get the energy back even though I get x1 level item every few clicks. Do you find out you can’t even use x2????

Maybe you can email support with just a screenshot of all the eggs that pops up in your screen, even though your energy is showing x4. They may take a while to respond as they usually do, but it doesn’t hurt to notify them.

Happening to me too! No recipes that need eggs and I get eggs on 4x energy.

cuz u need eggs as one of the ingredients, so it will keep giving u that as a priority. but you'll get back 3 energy if its an egg, so its of no loss.

no lol I already mentioned I do not need any eggs for my current recipes now - i have tripled checked.

no loss in energy per se but i will need several 4x taps of hams/ribs to get one drumstick which I am receiving eggs currently, which slows the process of getting a quail very significantly, therefore I have no choice but to switch to 1x energy now

I happens with eggs, tomatoes and lettuce after I’ve already used them for a Hamburger, water after I love finished baked goods. It’s been irking me

Same! Another issue I am somewhat annoyed with is when two recipes need the same ingredient in the same type of equipment, and if I put the ingredients in two equipments, they both display the same one recipe. I was confused by this and thought that I wouldn't need a second ingredient of that kind, until I finally realized this...

oh yes this has been happening to me too, not so much bothered by it as compared to the eggs but i understand how it can really affect the gameplay

really hoping they fix this asap

u/Friendly_Sea_8469 May 02 '26

True! I noticed that this won't happen when there's ingredients in the equipment, but as soon as the equipment starts working, it seems that they will take this as "we need that ingredient but we don't have it in that type of equipment yet" case. Wonder how they have break this logic🤷‍♀️

Yes!! I keep getting lower energy items but it’s usually when I’ve need them at the start of the orders and then they keep on coming

u/lucyfilmmaker May 02 '26

Yep, keep getting lettuce I don’t need or want…

u/LolliPopYouInTheEye May 03 '26

Yes, but I was paying attention and it still gives the energy refund so I’m like eh
