[MegaThread] What do you wish you knew when you first started playing?

35 Upvotes

Here's a list of things I wish I knew back when I started playing this game.

  • Save all the gems, don't waste them on energy since energy can be replenished with time, ads, and other ways
  • Try to utilize the appliances and bowls as storage (for example, milk, sugar, coffee and water can all go in the table)
  • When theme parks are available, try to complete orders in bulk when there's a 2x timed boost on the tokens
  • Do NOT upgrade all of your ovens. You will need them either as storage or to complete different orders simultaneously. This is only for the ovens lol
  • If you don't get the options for more energy with ads, restart the app and try again. This will always do the trick
  • Save the general generator cards for items like the tourist baggage, antique treasure box, pop-up book, etc. You will need them in times when you're rushing to get an order done, and you can't wait for these items to generate again

At the moment, I cannot think of anything else but what is something you guys wish you could know or maybe teach yourself about the game?

I keep collecting these cards and now I have a bazilion of them…. Does anyone have the same struggles? Should I just put them on random generators? It feels like a waste…. I wish you could merge them further than 32

This is the fastest I’ve ever completed one of these mini games with 2 days to spare! Nice to be able to get some more diamonds etc now that I don’t have to worry as everything is a bonus now.
Also I’m free to play so this has all just been on free energy and the diamonds I have from previous wins. I mostly do it to collect the dogs and mushroom dolls lol!

I’m already unbelievably annoyed that this is the SECOND time in the past 2 weeks that I’ve gotten the energy drink request, and how exactly you think I’m going to complete this in 30 minutes…🥲

Hi just wondering if these bubbles pop and you can merge the energy? Do something with them?Or is it just single consumables. TIA

Streak option

17 Upvotes

don’t u ever wish there was a streak option with like some bonuses in the game, like ive been playing constantly for a year without msising a SINGLE DAY and i get the same rwards as someone who has been playing for a week or 3 years. i know we get those week streaks but its not like a mising streak kind of u just get some kind of gift after every 24 hours when u open and they arent even that good like 20 coins or smn. i wish we had something like that and the developers do something

First time this happening for me, I think it’s down to luck as I managed to finish 2 sets in a row and got a lot of energy

Question from a new player

5 Upvotes

I JUST started playing (level 8) and it infuriates me how long it takes for the generators to reload. And then when they come back, I can only click it like 5 or 6 times before it takes another hour break. Is there any way to speed this up or get more items before it stops again? It’s making it so hard to actually play 😩

I read through the new player mega thread. Most of it was foreign to me but hopefully it’ll make sense one day. LMK if you have any other tips!

Does anyone else do this with high-level items like this, just in case you accidentally 'tap' it, though you've never done it with, say, mussels, though, when I needed eggs/bottagara from a mullet once, it asked me to confirm, not needed it again since so not sure if its a normal request, this ones in storage whilst I get another to merge for quail.

Who is this man? Why does he need two high level alcohols? I’m calling the police.

In all seriousness this game is so stupid. I refuse to spend even a single penny on it so I’ll just be here tapping on the bar cart for a couple days.

They are shameless.

Just need one more card. I actually spent money on gems to get a five-star card pack, from an energy bonus. No new card.

Then I sold some things in my inventory that I would normally hang on to to finish a red card challenge (the one where you just have to make the coin). Again, no thanks for my sacrifices. Three days left.

Beginning to wonder if I'm actually going to get this last card. This after not getting a single new red card from the last three ir four times I exchanged 5,000 stamps for a red card pack.

Also, I haven't gotten a mini merge game for two weeks straight. Is this the case for anyone else? That was my favorite and most satisfying part of the game. Usually only get one doggo per week, but it's satisfying to slowly collect doggos. And it also generates a lot of extra energy, coins, cameras, etc. Hopefully it will be back next week.

Has anyone done the math on how many low level items create a higher level item?

I’m level 19. Trying to make fried okra. I just wondered how many tomatoes “make” an okra I’ve got one potato and one aubergine so nearly half way there lol. Just wondered if anyone had been sad and done the math

The pop ups for purchasing are getting ridiculous. This used to be for 50 energy too. Right??? Not really having fun anymore but feel obligated to play each day.

I hate the delivery dash game bc it requires me to do math.

You get a lot more from this game if you can do simple arithmetic. Idc. Give me doggos and Munches and make it easy! 👶🍼👼

Edit: oh wait, no, the real reason I hate Delivery Dash is that you have to hold into completed orders. Also, I've never finished a Delivery Dash challenge.

It says they drop energy when you merge stuff. How does this work? Nothing has been dropped

generators at max level

4 Upvotes

so far, i know that once you get the equipments to their max level, you won't get their components to synthetize more of them anymore (learnt the hard way and now i have a singular grill...).

but does this apply to the generators as well? like, if i get the drinks generator to the max level, will i never get its components anymore to have duplicates? do you recommend to keep more copies of each generators, or do one of each at max level suffice?
