The basic loop
Step
The game gives you a clear four-step rhythm from the start. Buying ingredients is always the first move, and every other action follows from that.
- Buy ingredients spend your starting funds on whatever ingredients are available to you.
- Combine ingredients mix different ingredients together to unlock new recipes.
- Place food put the food you have unlocked into your shop so customers can buy it.
- Collect profit customers purchase your food and money comes in.
- Reinvest use that money to buy more ingredients and keep discovering new recipes.
Tips for finding more recipes
Tips
The sheer number of recipes means you will not find them all by sticking to the same handful of ingredients. Cheap food you have already placed can be traded away to get fresh ingredients, which opens up combinations you have not tried yet.
- Try every new ingredient you buy as soon as you get it.
- Combine more than one ingredient at a time to cover more ground.
- Trade low-profit food for different ingredients rather than letting it sit in your shop.
- Visit other players' islands to see what ingredients and food they are using.
Trading and visiting other islands
Summary
An update added the ability to visit other players' islands, letting you look at how their shops are laid out and what food they have unlocked. Trading lets you exchange food you have already made for ingredients that push your recipe discovery further.
What to do when you feel stuck
CheckProgress slows down when you keep testing the same ingredients you already own. Before assuming you have found everything, check whether there are ingredients in the shop you have not purchased. If funds are tight, trade lower-value food to free up resources for something new.
- Check whether any ingredients in the shop are still unpurchased.
- Trade food that earns little profit to turn it into fresh ingredients.
- Visit another player's island and look for food you have not seen before.
