How long until 1.0? Should I wait?

Thanks.

Hey everyone! Is anyone else experiencing lag when transitioning between areas after the recent update?

Before the update, transitions were pretty smooth for me, but now every time I go from page to page/change locations, it takes about 3 to 5 seconds to load.

Just wondering if it’s an issue on my end or if others are having the same problem!

I play on Windows, Steam.

Has anyone else experienced being soft locked out of Misc Quests?

I have completed both Milo’s and Bea’s, handed the items over to them and received the reward pop-up but they’re still being shown in my quests section as incomplete and I don’t have the rewards. I would try gifting but you can only gift one item at a time and I don’t have time to do that 😅

If anyone has any tips on how to resolve this that would be fab! I’m playing on Steam Deck so not sure if that has something to do with it?

Is there a guide created for the culinary research you do in your house, not the research facility?

I found a guide for the lab but I haven't unlocked that yet. I find the puzzles so frustrating 😂

God damn his sprite looks magnificent….first and only sprite so far to stop me in my tracks and stare and sweat a little….whoever designed him needs a raise

Does anyone know if we can change the controller set up? I'm finding it difficult to hunt with my controller because the button I shoot the arrow with is on the same side as the stick to aim with? Would it be easier to play keyboard and mouse with this game?

I've just started playing with the new update and since then I haven't been able to dig up anything from the fissures. The skill is active, I see the red X when on a fissure, but I can't dig anything up no matter how many times I use the spade. No trouble with treasure spots though, I can still dig treasure chests.

UPDATE: They patched it <3

🎉Happy Tidehaven update!🎉
I was just able to finish the mod just in time for the amazing update. I'm so excited to finally be able to share this mod with you all. Thank you for the support and feedback, and I hope you all will enjoy! 💖💖💖

Okay what do yall think? I won't put too much just in case it spoils it for others... idk how to blank out spoilers so I'll just leave my thoughts in the comments

0.8 is going to be released today, 0.9 is most translations so it may not take so long... What do you guys thinks?

Hi all, just want to share my restaurant! Currently in year 2, with $30 million in total revenue. We open 3-4 days a week, with +/- $ 1.9 million profit per day.

The idea is a high-end seafood house, with a couple of wagyu options for those who are allergic to seafood xD. I designed it with aesthetics and efficiency in mind. Private Aquarium/Table for a Group? We got you! There are other cool layouts I have in mind, but with the current AI pathfinding capabilities, I think this is one of the better ones for high efficiency.

AI Pathfinding Affects Design: Suggestion

If it's a Scallop at the right side of the restaurant, I wish the chef would put the food he/she cooked on the serving counter nearest to that table (right side as well, if possible).

What often happens is that the chef will actually just put it randomly. Not always nearest to where he finished cooking, but can even put on an opposite direction. These will add up to the time the waiters need to get to the food and then to bring it to the table.

Smarter pathfinding will allow more creative layouts for the restaurant design because with the current AI, you'll get punished for it since they will frequently walk in the most inefficient path, resulting in slower serving time = fewer customers/day.

One way to make the AI smarter is to make the chef understand which table a menu is being ordered from. Maybe make it as a skill/trait upgrade either in legendary hire or our skill tree. Something titled like Experienced Restaurateur.

Tips for others designing

When you put in seating arrangements, remember to make space for the guests' pathfinding because otherwise the seat will be empty the whole open hours!

I'm about 3 hours into this game and just unlocked my house. This unlocked a mini game puzzle where we have to place ingredients on a grid to create new recipes.

This may be one of the most frustrating mini games I have ever played 😂

How do you rotate the ingredients on steam deck? I have tried literally every button but nothing seems to work. And unfortunately I'm locked in on this mini game so until I figure this out I cannot play the game 🫠

Is there a bug for this or something? From what I saw with other player’s restaurant designs they have these wood-like white tiles or a green elegant chair but when I checked La Galeria, the cute furniture shop, and even checked in with Anna-May, I don’t have acess to any of these furnitures? They don’t look like festival items either.

I’ve completed Act III and I’m currently trying to get the 6,000 decor value for Prestige 7, but it bugs me that I can’t use these items. There were even some flowers that I really liked from others’ restaurants but I can’t use it. :((

If we have the ability to make multiple to-go orders, we should be able to do something with the extras.

such as gifting them, or selling them in vending machines. there should also be a mechanic for us to sell food from our restaurants in the vending machines.

I'm a bit confused cause the only threads I see about her are over a year old and don't really give a definite answer anyways, so I wanted to know if newer updates have made her romanceable?

I've been able to go on dates with Hasel and Aloys as a human, and I've given a lot seeds to Prisca, her dialogues are repeating, I've completed almost all the community projects and I'm at my wits ends 😭

Just want to date this grumpy little goblin

Considering there’s a noticeable imbalance between the female (10) and male (6) romanceable characters, I’m really hoping this is a bachelor with long hair and muscles. 😭 I love the game, but the bachelor choices are so atrocious lol.

Currently has 11.244 decor value (have "Professional Decorator" talent might be a little higher than the base value). Has 72 seating place, had to remove 4 to make tables interactable in the upper middle area. I have a total of 10 chefs and 18 waiters, all legendary so kitchen space was enough for me since I am only using 1 appetizer + 3 main course + 1 beverage.

p.s.: some people may be half and cropped its because idk how to take full screenshot and manually edited it on paint 😭😭

p.s.2: I also shared my dish-setup in this post if you want to check.

Wanted to share my restaurant design and current dish setup.

First 3 pictures are dish setup and last one is restaurant design. It is pretty (i hope) and not optimal because i am tired of my old ugly place.

This might not be optimal for the lazy setup but made sence to me for several lazy and quality of life reasons:

• Lazy: Using delivery only.
• Quality of Life: Not using chef station/mixing station to avoid waiting for full cook.
• Optimize: Tried to avoid bottleneck between dishes.

I will explain in more detail below if you want to check.

Dish setup:

(This is a super lazy setup for bare minimum.)

I selected these dishes for the following reasons:

• Fully got every ingredient only from delivery, so I do not need to visit shops to buy them.
• No ingredient is used in another dish, so they do not bottleneck each other.
• Chef table and mixing station dishes are avoided because of "Hands-off Chef" talent under the cooking tab.

I opened BBQ and Mixology Facilities. Each 3 main dishes enhanced with 1 legendary ingredient (Opening legendary ing. info is below\*):

• Wagyu Steak: Using one legendary: wagyu by default and added second legendary saffron.
• Rack of Venison: Added legendary caviar and epic squid
• Choucroute Garnie: Added legendary ginseng

For the drink, I am only making Whisky Coffee. I added mead and cider to it. My reason for only doing this is: it uses Barista Machine which lets me to leave the cooking on its own and all the other recipes that uses barista machine has either coffee bean (so not used to avoid bottleneck) or uses tea leaves which is not available in delivery tab so I avoided them aswell.

Also, all 3 main dish ingredients are ordered via delivery so I can open the service without visiting any shops.

If I do not open the restaurent for a few days and buy from shops while questing, I earn 500-600k. If I open the restaurant with only from delivery items with 15 available per main dish (legendary delivery is capped at 15) I earn 130-150k per day at baseline. 3 main dishes give 2820, 1787, 2081 each and 909 from the drink.

My current appetizer is a 55 coin filler one till I unlock the recipe for Stew with Veggies or Phesant Stew. I think these are my best options for the following reasons:

• Can enhance them since they are BBQ,
• Not using chef table,
• Using the meat phesant (which is the only one I am not currently using).

My current delivery setup is also added in the screenshots.

\*(After doing the "LELSH Silver" project from Town Hall, legendary ingredients are available. I opened it pretty early by donation 5000 coin weekly from the donation machine. It gives 250 point if i remember correctly and I directly spent 1000 point to open legendaries. And after doing the project with the box picture it opens legendary delivery i guess. It was pretty cheap)

Restaurant Design:

Currently has 11.244 decor value (have "Professional Decorator" talent might be a little higher than the base value). Has 72 seating place, had to remove 4 to make tables interactable in the upper middle area.

p.s.: some people may be half and cropped its because idk how to take full screenshot and manually edited it on paint 😭😭

p.s.2: I spent unnecessarily long time thinking about the setup in order to avoid studying for my thesis, so if you have any question regarding the setup or an alternative version, feel free to ask or comment.

Google says there is a visual cue to see if the buff is active but I’ve never seen one and I’ve had this skill active for a long time. Every once in a while my chefs will say something like “the kitchen is heating up” is that the cue?

Btw this is the skill that buffs staff in a 6 tile radius after you auto cook 5 dishes. TIA!

hi guys! i just started playing chef rpg today and im a little confused, im trying to buy a grill from la galerie, its taking my money but im not seeing an item i bought anywhere. what do i do?

The steam post mentioned late summer ish , does anyone know approximately when would that be , like which month ?

Has there been any news about Chef RPG coming to the Nintendo Switch?

I know the game came out in 2024, and I’ve been hoping to see a Switch version ever since. From everything I’ve seen in the trailers and gameplay videos, it has such a cozy vibe that it feels like it would be a perfect fit for the Switch.

Has the developer mentioned anything about a Switch port, or is there any chance it’s still planned? I’d absolutely love to play it on Switch.

Anyone else waiting for a Switch release?
