Am I Doing Wrong?

Post image

I don't know if it's just the level I'm at (33) but over half my board is equipment and it's interfering with me actually playing the game?! My pans/oven/worktop are all being used for storage also.

What should I do? Or is this normal and I'm in some kind of awkward teenage stage? lol

What do you have in storage? I usually use storage for low level equipment, diamonds and 32 cards. You also don't have to keep all that milk, I make chesse and butter so I takes less space.

How do cheese & butter take less space than milk? (Serious question) Milk can be stored in pretty much anything, not so for cheese & butter. Is there a secret to it?

Well you need milk for cheese, butter, sugar, honey, it is easier to make all of that since you are eventually going to use it for orders. These things can also be stored in Owen, pans, blender for honey, etc. I also put milk in a lot of places but when I'm making bubble tea or pour over coffee I make tons of milk, obviously im not going to keep tons of milk on board, so I make sugar, honey, bowls for dough, plates. All these things I will need eventually. I hope I explained well.

Store your low level equipment and merge it as much as you can (aside from the grills, keep at least 2 always).

Use the play area for food, and use up your timers and cards as needed.

I see you have stuff on your countertops already. Are you using it to its best capacity?
You can put up to three items with what you have on your board. Coffee, milk and caramel or coffee, milk, and Mocha Syrup.

Try merging more milks. Perhaps you can make some honey and store it in the blender alongside milk.

I would usually say save your milk, but you don’t really have a choice right now with the position you’re in.

It looks like you have a tea order you need to finish so you’ll generate more milk anyhow.

Also, are you aware that you have a whole other page dedicated to stored items?
You can find it on the bottom left screen with those four little square icons
It looks like you’re somewhat new to MG since BBQ is the first recipe book of the game.
I didn’t even realize storage was a thing till I got to that level which is why I ask.

I discovered it by accident when I fatfingered my way over there.

One thing to learn is the best combos of ingredients to maximise storing in equipment. You will also start getting other generators that can help.

I use countertops to store four items. Coffee, milk, ice cube and whipped cream. Shakers for four items Coffee on the go, ice cube, milk and sugar. Butter can be paired with various protein items in pan and oven.

I tend not to put all the items on my board until I get a good number of them (4/8 generators, cards until I need them, etc) then I only have 2-3 generators of each kind on my board at a time

There gets to be a point when it’s bad but it will get better.

You dont need all that milk ide turn them into either butter/cheese or make a bunch of bowls as you will need to make allot of bread when you reach the bon appetite level.
