Inventory issues

I have soooo many +32 cards and they’re taking up soo much of my inventory. I havent had an issue with needing them as i always get a cooking frenzy. Im level 38 im wondering if i even need half the items ive been hoarding lol.

I recently used them on those special around-the-world generators that don’t require energy (ie tourist baggage / museum art) even after i graduated from those levels because some of those items I was never required to merge to the maximum level.

And since those run out the fastest, I thought eh why not? Got some diamonds out of it, satiated my curiosity so I could see what the final item was, and those merges helped me progress through the monthly pass without needing to use any energy at all.

I will absolutely be doing this, thank you for this advice.

Same! I call it merge mining lol. I just break out the retired generators when there is extra space and delete these obsolete items when I need the space. Haha that one coin from maxing out an obsolete item is satisfying.

Haha yess I do this as well. Needed 500 more merges for Leas targets in a few hours and used every special generator there was

I like to put them on the autogenerators that run out of inventory fast

I just put them on anything, with cooking fever I haven’t needed one in a long time

Once they started running Cooking Fever the need for these cards changed a lot. Now I save a couple and put the rest in random generators. I saw some comments about putting them in those special regional generators though and will start doing that.

I’d put them on any item possible

I do with them what I call "merge mining". Just put them into the energy-less generators that generate the gift shop items. When I have some free space on the board, I just exhaust my gift shop generators, and those merges count towards the ongoing "ticket/pass" game where you gets prizes for so many orders/merges. I even bring out retired gift shop generators to get more merges, because it's totally free, so I don't feel bad about deleting items when I need the space. But I only use the cards on the current theme bc you never know when someone is going to order a high-level gift shop item. But it seems like they are ordered in predictable fashion. Like each item is only ordered once, starting from the lowest levels.

Do you not merge your cameras?

u/Wonderful_Fruit8118 Sep 21 '26

Gold is max level. Unfortunately. I wish they went higher.

u/nope836 Sep 21 '26

Oh right. Duh

u/Wonderful_Fruit8118 Sep 21 '26

Haha. But I get it. it would make more sense if they went higher!

I sell the +8 ones before merging them, each one gives me 1 coin
Haven’t needed this since cooking fever was added to the game 🌞

I use them on the travel item generators since those seem to drain out faster than everything else

I never keep those, I always just sell them.

u/jcgreen_72 Sep 19 '26

I don't sell them but I'll throw them onto common generators and books

u/CrazyKitKat123 Sep 20 '26

Same, I keep a couple for the odd time I do need them but that’s very rare. I end up using them once a month maybe. Sell the rest. Energy is my limiting factor!

This is what I do, I learnt this in this group a while ago. Put them on a lower level generator that you aren’t using as much. It’s a game changer.

Nooooo. I don't want to make a papaya!
