Inventory management: You want to keep the ingredients you need close or in your 4 slot inventory, always have Flour, Goat Milk or Red Mark and probably Salt in your inventory.

Precooking: Cooking Burger and Fish Burger on the Grill and Soup in the Cookpot takes a little more time and you can often squeeze in a Macaroni and Cheese or a Grilled Cheese / Waffle on the other cooking station.

Later you may want to get another Cookpot station for Syrup only so Syrup cooking does not interfere with Soup and Pasta Cravings. On the other Fire Pit is the Cookpot station for Macaroni, Soup and Syrup. For this reason I placed the Large Grill on the Fire Pit near the Safe because that is where I need to cook the Meat and Fish dishes.

Cooking station placement: The lower two Fire Pits are closer to each other and one is very close to the fridge.

When you have enough Old Coins get a second Salt rack (please not a third for obvious reasons) on the same timer. You can use Salt multiple times on the same meal.

Salt: I did not mention this yet, but you want to Salt every dish you offer, also if you precooked something you want to keep it fresh (green).

Chef: I preferred Wes for the starting discount, but since Old Coins are not a limitation later on, Silver Ware irrelevant and most recipes feature the Grill, Wendy is probably better in the long run (Waffles burn really fast).

A better gatherer would be WX for all the running duties.

Gatherer: Since you can use Sap as fuel you do not need a wood cutting specialist.Farmhand: Webber is pretty much mandatory with all the wheat planting.Anyway try to put the Sapping kits on trees of the same growth stage so they all have the same timer. If you ruin a tree it is not the end of the world because Ruined Sap can also be used as fuel and apparently the tree keeps producing Ruined Sap. In my experience you should have 6-9 trees sapped for a sufficient amount of sap. I believe it has two times the fuel value of logs (can someone confirm this?), so you want to change from the time consuming wood cutting to sap harvesting as soon as possible. Syrup is the only renewable ingredient to make Dessert from and Sap can be used as fuel for cooking stations. Syrup : Syrup and Sap are important for two reasons.You can try using a bird trap with Blue Seeds as a bait but you have enough Od Coins anyway Sometimes the fish is spoiling, then you can use 3 Salmons for the Fishburger. Reduce travel time and let the one running for salt also get these. Try to keep a stock of 4 Pidgeons and 4 salmon in the Safe. Meat Scraps / Salmon: These are renewable through Pidgeons from Billy and the Salt ponds respectivley.So if you are low on Red Marks use 2x Flour on Grilled Cheese and Macaroni and Cheese. Goat Milk: Only thing you have to keep in mind is, that you need Red Marks to buy Goat Milk.At the start you need to fertilize and later seeds will have enough time to grow on their own. Since every single dish requires at least one Flour, you need to plant a lot of Wheat.

Flour: Wheat ( Packet of Blue Seeds) for Flour and Onions ( Packet of Pointy Seeds) are the only seeds needed to be planted.Pasta: Macaroni and Cheese ( Flour, Flour/Goat Milk, Goat Milk, Cookpot).Dessert: Waffles ( Flour, Flour, Syrup, Grill).Soup: Onion Soup ( Flour, Goat Milk, Onion, Onion, Cookpot) or Meat Stew ( Meat Scraps, Meat Scraps, Meat Scraps, Meat Scraps, Cookpot).Fish: Fish Burger ( Flour, Flour/Salmon, Salmon, Salmon, Grill).Meat: Burger ( Flour, Flour/Meat Scraps, Meat Scraps, Meat Scraps, Grill).Bread: Grilled Cheese ( Flour, Flour/Goat Milk, Goat Milk, Grill).

Snack: Grilled Cheese ( Flour, Flour/Goat Milk, Goat Milk, Grill).

Craving: Recipe ( Ingredient1, Ingredient2/AlternativeIngredient2, Ingredient3, Cooking Station).

Note that this list does not include starting recipes but rather the ones you keep on cooking in the end stage and Veggie craving is omitted since it does not appear later on: The main criteria I used were cooking speed, renewable ingredients, simplicity of the recipe and the level of the recipe to sustain the need for Red Marks for Goat Milk. Sharing some tips if you want to go for a long game or the leader board, although for maxium experience efficiency endless is not recommended (see here).Д«efore you start you want to have planned out which recipe you want to use on each craving.
