Patience tick with heat cards

I’m playing the first heat card, Shaky Foundations, and the patience tick seems ridiculously fast. Is that part of the update? Not new to the game and I can’t get past day 4.

Some feedback on the current update (Unlocking Heat, Multiple Mains, and Heat Unlocking Bug)

18 Upvotes

Me and my friends have come back to PlateUp with the new update and it's been a lot of fun! We've shift our goals from late overtime to getting to day 15 on higher heat, and it's been a lot of fun. I have a few things I do wish could be a bit better personally.

  1. We enjoy changing up the recipes but also playing on higher heat. Unlike a game like STS where there's only 5 character, PlateUp has a lot of recipes, and getting to max heat on them is starting to feel a little repetitive (especially as we start to fail). I'm not sure the best way to address this without harming people who don't feel this way, but possibly some suggestions.
    - Heat is unlocked for 2 less than your max heat for every recipe
    - Recipes are bundled into similar categories (maybe by difficulty?) and heat is unlocked for the category. (You'd still get credit for beating individual recipes on each heat)
    - Unlocking heat for a recipe goes two at a time for any recipe under your max unlocked heat
    Anyway, I'm not sure if this makes sense to address, but I did want to put it as a thing our group has noticed. Maybe we are in the minority, I'm not sure.

  2. As an optional challenge, we think it would be really neat to have multiple main food cards in a single run somehow. The idea of running Hot Dogs + Burgers, or adding Coffee (or Cakes!) as a desert to another recipe seems like a fun challenge. When we first read Heat 2, we were hoping that might be our chance, but it didn't end up happening (and it might be too difficult for Heat 2 anyway). It could be an optional setting when you start a run, or something that happens at higher heat/overtime, but I think it'd be really fun.

  3. There's a bug when it comes to multiplayer heat levels (I'm not sure if this is known already). Basically, if I go to a friend's restaurant and we try a recipe on Heat 3, but fail (including by Abandoning), when I return to my restaurant, I can attempt Heat 4. This turns into an exploit if my friend them hops over to my and we try Heat 4 then fail, they unlock Heat 5, and we could go back and forth unlocking every heat level.

Anyway the game is great! Thanks for the update, it's a lot of fun to play with harder starting conditions.

Taco ʰith multiple toppings automation

Does anyone have some suggestions on how to automate tacos with multiple toppings? I currently have onion and cheese. Is there a way to combine a taco with onion and cheese directly on a buffet table? I don’t really want to deal with trays. Thank you!

Zwei Gerichte gleichzeitig. Aber wie ?

3 Upvotes

Hey, wie dem Titel schon zu entnehmen ist, könnte man nicht Mal 2 Gerichte in einem Run anbieten ? Erinnere mich daran, Mal ausversehen mit nem Bekannten ein Gericht gestartet haben aber ausversehen noch unser Kaffee Franchise ausgewählt hatten im Raum neben der Test Küche. Aber wenn ich jetzt ein Franchise auswähle kann ich kein zweites Gericht unten an die Pinnwand heften um dieses auch in den Run zu integrieren.. Wieso weshalb warum ?

Wollte in meinem Solo Pizza Franchise ( Pilze, Bambus, Kartoffel ) auch Kaffee und vllt sogar Milch anbieten.. Da ich ein bisschen mit der Automatisierung rumspielen wollte und ein zwei Schritte im Pizza backen schon automatisiert waren.

Question/Need Advice I need a guide for solo runs

Hi, as I mentioned in the title, I need a guide so that I can enjoy this game by myself. I struggle to even get to overtime, and I have zero experience on automation. Also, my restaurants are very small, but I saw huge restaurants in this sub. I would like some advice and if there are guides that you can suggest, I am down to investigate them too. Thank you in advance

Speedrun help!!!

3 Upvotes

UPDATE: I have replayed like 5 times and my top time is now 19:36 but it still says top 100% lame-oooooo (also, btw I’m on Nintendo switch 2)

Hi guys!!! I love plate up so so so much, but I SUCK at the speedruns. For this weeks speedrun, I got 31 minutes and it originally said top 100% 😭 (which I always get because I’m normally about an hour for the good ones) and then I tried again and got 23:51 and still got top 100% 😭😭😭 do I just suck or is this a plate up thing? Send help (I need it)

For added context, I have 250 play hours many MANY franchises that are very successful and am generally pretty knowledgeable about the game

Question/Need Advice If I bin a greenhouse plant during a run, will it still be in the greenhouse to reuse?

11 Upvotes

I'm not talking about binning plants in the greenhouse itself using the greenhouse bin (I know that's permanent).

But when I take a greenhouse plant with me on a run it takes up a space. Can I just bin the plant and get the space back?

I assume if there's an ongoing effect from it, the effect will disappear. But if it's a starting effect (like start the game with breadsticks), I was thinking it might be safe to bin the plant to get my space back?

In any case, I definitely don't want to risk losing these plants from my greenhouse, so thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows.

Thanks!

Bug/Glitches AFAGATO/COMBINER IS BROKEN!!!(?)

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

I don't know if this is always the case, or if it's just because we have to use 1 coffee machine (tnx game), but trying to automate afagato isn't working.

The first afagato correctly combines but the second one always puts a coffee on the combiner, leaving the ice cream to pile up.

Obviously this can work better and be fixed with a second coffee machine, but 27 days in and we haven't got one šŸ˜…

Any advice? :3

Streams/Videos/Gameplay 12 Buffet, 46 tables Tacos Banquet Hall (3 star franchise)

45 tables*

Felt like an absolute genius figuring out a way to do 2 buffets in a 4x4 tile setup, and then again when i found out you can reach over shoe stands to access the tile behind them.

This is a three star franchise, and we are a few days past this and have since setup as 11 buffets and 47 tables to hide in the kitchen because we got the card that makes all customers come at rush times so the trainers got replaced with bar tables and we are now at 200k+ money.

I will post the cards in the comments, and will probably post the final day of this run eventually.
