Hello, Star Chefs! 🌟 We know that navigating through new updates can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, so we’ve put together the 6 major FAQs that we think will help you get the most out of the latest changes.

Tackling the Storage Crunch 🏠

Many of you have mentioned that your Barn is feeling a bit cramped with too many tools like Gloves, Degree Rolls, and other 'Academy' tools piling up. But here’s the good news – there’s no real advantage to holding onto hundreds of these tools!

Here’s what you can do:

  • Utilize Your Tools: Put those tools to good use by upgrading your appliances in the Upgrade Academy. Upgrading not only reduces cooking times but also boosts your coin and XP earnings, making your gameplay more efficient and rewarding. 🌟
  • Expand Your Plots: Don’t forget that the cost for plot expansions has been significantly lowered in this update! Using your storage and plot expansion tools will help you declutter your Barn and keep things running smoothly. 🌿

Too Much Time Harvesting? Here’s How to Fix It! ⏰

If you’re finding that harvesting is taking longer than expected, the solution could be right under your nose – or rather, in your garden! 🌱 Some players haven’t placed enough soil plots, which means they aren’t growing as many crops as they could be.
Make the most of your plots:

  • Double the Plots, Double the Fun: You now have twice the number of soil plots available! 🌾 Make sure to place all of them to maximize your crop production.
  • Unlimited Seeding: There’s no limit on seeding, so go ahead and plant as many crops as you want. While some crops may take longer to grow, others have reduced growth times. 🥕

Lost Berries, Fruits, or Dishes After the Update? 🍓

We’ve received reports from some players who feel they have lost berries, fruits, or dishes during the update process. The update made it inevitable to flush the existing storage, and while we ensured auto credits for each of your fruits, crops, and dishes, the amounts credited might not exactly match what you had before due to balancing and redistribution. We understand how frustrating this can be!

Here's what you can do: If you believe you’ve lost any items, please reach out to our support team through this support link. Our team is here to help you resolve any issues you may be facing. 🙌 

Due to a high volume of tickets, response times may be longer than usual, but rest assured that all tickets will be attended to as soon as possible.

Premium Players: Are You Enjoying Your Exclusive Benefits? 🌟

We want to remind you of the benefits of your Premium Backyard! 🌿 This exclusive upgrade serves as a replacement for your previous rewards, offering you equally valuable and helpful benefits to enhance your experience, just like before.

What’s in it for you:

  • Higher Capacity: Enjoy more space for crops, trees, and animal farms, allowing you to grow and harvest like never before. 🌾
  • Premium Well: Use your premium well for more efficient water usage, enhancing your farming capabilities and ensuring a smooth farming experience. 🚰
  • Extra Benefits: All these perks are designed to give you the best possible culinary adventure and ensure you get the most out of this new update. 🎁

Understanding Restaurant Orders 💰

We’ve seen some feedback regarding restaurant orders, and we want to clarify that while some aspects of order rewards may have changed, the overall gameplay balance is aimed at a more dynamic and engaging experience!

Here’s what you should know:

  • Reduced Plot Costs: The cost of plot construction has been significantly reduced, allowing for easier restaurant & backyard expansion and better resource management. 🏗️

Finding the Cruise Difficult? 🚢

Some of you have mentioned that completing the Cruise tasks within the allotted time is more challenging now.  But here’s how you can make it easier!

How to keep cruising:

  • Utilize more soil plots: With more soil plots now available, you can grow a variety of crops in parallel, ensuring you have all the ingredients needed to complete cruise orders efficiently. 🌾 As shown in the image above, harvesting leafy greens doesn’t take more than 5 minutes, so placing all your soil plots will help you fill orders in less time.
  • Maximize Your Resources: Efficient use of the Upgrade Academy will help reduce the time it takes to prepare dishes for the Cruise, making it easier to meet those deadlines. ⏳

We hope these tips help you navigate the exciting new changes in Star Chef 2! Keep those ovens warm and your farms thriving. Remember, we’re here to help if you have more questions. Let’s continue to cook up a storm together! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
