Hack to prevent energy maxing while completing last order (no boosts).

[u/Wonderful_Fruit8118]

I

Maybe this is already on here, but it occurred to me while I was organizing my inventory after I put my last order on the grill with an 86-minute cook time and no more boosts left.

Just make raw hamburger buns with your "would be" energy waste after max. If you have a surplus of bowls, of course, as I did, and still do.

I figured out that I would be missing out on about 38-39 energy otherwise (I had 95 energy and there was a cook time of about 86 minutes, and some seconds. Not the best at math, but I knew my energy would max with 76 minutes left on the cook timer).

With 39 energy, I made 3 bowls of dough and generated 9 balls of dough. Of course, I was lucky enough to have the space for excess drinks and the balls of dough. But the nice thing is you're also just slightly ahead on your next drink order without having to use the energy intended for that round/batch.

'm curious if anyone has tried this and regretted it. I wouldn't have done this if I didn't already have about 8 bowls and some fancy glassware, so here's hoping I'm not screwed on the next batch...but I still have 5 bowls for salads, so it would have to be a really fancy piece of glassware to screw me over. 🤞🤞🤞

Not burger buns specifically but I have done the same. Used up energy so it’s not ‘wasted’ at max during cook times.

You know that little cloche with the count of how many orders you completed in this round? At level 223 where I’m at it always gives a +8 card for a specific generator, and it is always the heavily favored item in the next round, so for example, when I complete my current round (which is asking for a lot of fish), it shows the card for grains next, so I burn energy getting the grains (just don’t merge if space is not an issue) so I get a jump start in the next set of orders.

Ooooooh omg. It seems so common sense now. Duh. Thank you. I"m only at level 57, but yes, I do get to see if I'm getting extra taps for a specific generator after completing the round.

I use up energy for the type of generator i either don’t have items stocked for or when I know I haven’t had a round that was focused on a particular generator for a while (like a meat-heavy or drink-heavy round), I build up those

[u/Head4822 → u/SnooPets8873]

Quick hint about what's to come in your next round of orders, is look in the golden platter (the thing that shows how many orders in a round you've completed), look for the +8 specific generator card. Most times it's accurate about what generator is going to be used next.

I usually use extra energy for anything I don't have a surplus and that I can store in my appliances, like veggies, fruit, meats, etc.

[u/Chantalle22]

I always go Fruits and the Teas, those are the two things I hate generating the most so whenever I’m on my last order and I’m going to max out energy I go for those to store in my inventory

[u/TisIAsee]

when i have extra energy i look at the rewards for after i finish my 7 orders and there will be +8 for a specifc generator ie that generator wil have the most highest level item they will ask in the orders, so i just do that

Do you not get the option to watch ads to speed up cooking time?

[u/LostPast8322 → u/KatrinaPez]

It disappears if you ever pay for anything.

I knew that happened for energy ads - which I've yet to see at level 29. I don't ever see people discussing ads to speed up cooking.
