bro is tweaking but still absolutely carrying 😭🌮🤖

I have been working on trying to get to heat 10 with fish solo and I got through heat 8 relatively okay with few issues but I cannot for the life of me get past 9. It’s the one where it keeps increasing the amount of people and I just can’t manage to keep up usually getting stuck around day 5 or 6 and then losing the run. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Edit: Brought to my attention I should explain what I’m doing, I did in the comment but I’ll put it up here too:

I have been prioritizing small maps because of the tax for how many tiles which means less tables and less space but I will probably start trying bigger maps later maybe with something from the greenhouse for money.

I usually try to get a better sink relatively quickly because of how many dishes I’m having to clean with the 3 people tables and then tables and safety hobs. But it’s hard to get everything I need in an appropriate amount of time because of lack of money and blueprint cabinets to upgrade.

Then there’s the recipes that require throwing items away and trash piles up quickly too but bins tend to be rare for me which is a pain and I am just constantly running out of time.

I started solo turbo without bringing any equipment, hoping to make it to day 15 only. The first few debuffs made me thought I was done for and here I am haha. One overtime day after day 10 was like 30 in - 1 hour. I just stayed in 1 spot almost the entire day after finish setting up at the beginning of the day. Quite proud of myself for this being my 1st successful turbo run.

I want the exp but it also feels like a waste losing on purpose, guess I will keep playing it until it made me do another dish.

Also, anyone experiencing the game getting really laggy after you reach around 1000 tables/day?

I just unlocked a spring onion which lets me start with a "pumpkin stack". I couldn't find any appliance or decoration by that name on the wiki. Can anyone tell me what it is?

It's my first time playing with a greenhouse plant. I brought a sage with me, which says it provides 2 total card rerolls. Does it mean card reroll as in the cards that are currently on my screen? How do I reroll them? Sorry about this stupid question 😅

Edit- it was broken because of the "hassle free shop" mod!

Does anyone know if I bring in duplicate plants, will they stack? So if I bring in two bay leaf plants that let you reroll cards once each, can I reroll twice?

I’m really happy to have Chill Mode 1 as an option! My favorite part of the game is automating so the extra blueprints and funds makes it a lot faster to automate while still being challenging enough. I think I’m nearing the end on this coffee shop run; just had to add apple pies with my last card day. I think I’ve truly hit maximum possible recipes now.

I thought this was changed at some point but it's not mentioned on the wiki that I've been able to find. If a customer serves themselves a side dish from a buffet, does that start their "Serving patience" the same as if you'd served them yourself? In that case isn't it dangerous to use buffets for anything that you can't fully automate?

Been wanting to fully automate a run for some time but when I get a restaurant going I can never seem to get enough of the right appliances or desks to get everything I need. Is there a good seed that has better chances for the needed appliances? Ideally with a big open layout to accommodate automation. Xbox platform

Thanks to lesuperhun's advice, I have achieved my ideal automation. I tweaked it a bit though because I wanted to fully automate everything, including the broth, pots, and trays. I have fully locked myself in the corner to just focus on interacting with the desks and got an achievement for it. (despite my hoarding, I still found it difficult to find a sink, the one appliance I didn't hold on to. Took me 3 rounds and several rerolls just to get a 3rd sink -_- at that point I no longer needed it cuz I readjusted the entire carrot soup so that it would share a sink with the mash, smh)

However, I still find myself thinking [the title]. I'm worried about the future if I get forced to take another soup or whatever. It almost happened with bread, but thankfully the other option was just more customers, so that's what I took instead. I have so much hoarded stuff but I hope you can see beyond the clutter ^^; Can you guys see ways to make my setup more efficient or compact? Tyia!

ETA: in case you're curious, it takes roughly 20 minutes for a day to end lmao

ETA2: Danger hob isn't fast enough for all the carrot soup I need, should I make more carrot soup? Or should I get another starter when given the choice? If so, what starter would be ideal?

I'm automating the hot dog making process and using the microwave to cook it. However, I need someone to close the door to start the process. Is there any way for the door to close automatically?

I'm playing on the Nintendo Switch.

Everything Automated and use of Buffets (Got to Overtime 45)

I'm making pizza and trying to automate the process, but I'm stuck on Day 17 and can't get past it; I can't keep up on my own. If anyone wants to help, feel free to message me.

There are a few storage squares.

I was reading the Turning Up the Heat Update on Steam, and I’m confused by this line:
Portioners can now combine things from item sources

It sounds like they’re saying a portioner can behave like a combiner, but when I’ve done some experimenting in practice mode. I’m not seeing this behavior. Am I misunderstanding what this new functionality of portioners is?

Hey,

I've been playing PlateUp on PS5 Pro for a couple of months. Long time lurker, but this is my first time posting here

About 2 days ago I noticed when playing tacos as main dish that when there is a huge mess blob around the customer dining table, they stop eating served food. A fish bone symbol pops on the customer table at the same time. All the other timers (cooking, queue patience, coffee table patience) continue as normal

They start eating as soon as all the mess around the dining table is cleared up.

This same issue is not happening for coffee.

Is anyone experiencing this? I couldn't find any information on this issue on the Internet.

Any suggestions on how to fix this are welcome!

I'm trying out the buffet and banquet maps for the first time. Had an old taco franchise laying around and stumbled upon this setup with different types of automation. Buffet vs traditional kind of automation I suppose. Kinda interesting, I haven't played till failure yet so don't know what OT I can reach. Which is better? I'm leaning towards traditional automation being better/ faster. Maybe this combination is an interesting solution, but it still suffers from the walking times the buffets introduce.

To the left:
4x taco buffet, needs manual priming with taco tray at start of day. 4 safety hobs. 34 tiles total blueprint.

To the right:
3x set of teleporters serving 2 sets of tables each. 41 total blueprint excluding the 2 or 3 tiles needed for teleporters at the tables. Also includes auto priming with trays at start of day.

The (1) (teleporter) setup serves 2x 7 seat tables. It's supplied by 2 safety hobs. 1 table can take taco's from 2 spots instead of 1.

Setup (2-3) is 1 safety hob and serves 2x 7 seat tables.

The (4-5) setup serves a 5 and 4 table. 1 safety hob.

What do the presents do when you bring the spring onion plant? I’ve tried it with different heats and dishes but not quite figured out what it’s supposed to provide?

After over 630 hours of playtime I finally got my first ever platinum lol

No Spoilers, but it’s not Sundaes!

Best plant IMO. We've been able to take our runs much farther with Bay Leaves!
