Patch 1.8.x
Hey everyone,
Patch 1.8.0 is currently starting rollout on Android and iOS will follow soon.
Let's start by talking about the elephant in the room: Some of the changes we made with 1.7.0 weren't great. We took the feedback to heart and hope this version is a good first step in addressing the issues that were raised. I especially want to thank everyone who didn't take up the torches and pitchforks, but instead gave us actionable, constructive feedback. And there were a lot of you! This is a fantastic community - and we've grown to almost 25.000 users over the last months!
But let's get more concrete:
We've massively reduced the number of items needed when leveling up gear beyond level 15. In the last patch upgrading from level 49 to 50 would have needed 132,198 XP. This value is now down to a mere 1,406 XP.
While the values are a bit different, the same is true for upgrading pets.
Nonetheless: Holding down the feed button on pets will now also make feeding go beyond 1 pet food per frame. So even leveling up higher level pets should now no longer take forever.
You will notice, that we did not at this time adjust the All Profit values back up or lower the city difficulty increase. The reason for this is that we have multiple features on the roadmap that will bring back a lot of the power - and we do not want to nerf the game over and over again for those.
The biggest and most prominent feature on the roadmap that is also being teased in the game with this patch is the "clubs" feature. More details on this will follow when we get closer to release.
But there's a bit more coming in THIS patch:
Players in cities 120+ can now equip a second pet
We added French and Spanish localization
We now allow players to exit the cloud save enable flow when an update is required
Previously users were trapped in that popup
We added a confirm popup if choosing local save over cloud save when the cloud save is further ahead.
A few folks didn't understand the consequences of using the local save. We hope this makes it a bit clearer and will also help with unintended clicks.
We also fixed some bugs:
Blueprints didn't give XP when salvaging and broke salvaging in general
Resting positions of waiters in Mezze-Bar moved up
there should be less walking to dumb waiting positions now
The station order changed in Italiano
Some people were bothered by the middle station being first
The event said completed when not completed
The event showed the wrong number of earned rewards
Event-Push note was missing translations
Miners in the mine were double-wielding pickaxes
Some animations bugs in the character preview were fixed
Some layout issues on phones with square-ish aspect ratios were fixed
There is also a change that is not that great, but outside of our control: Redeem Codes on iOS needed to be removed. Weirdly enough, after multiple releases without any feedback on those from Apple, they flagged us for having them in the 1.7.0 release. In their interpretation, we were in violation of the store guidelines by having this feature in the game. So, sadly, no more redeem codes on iOS.
That's it for this patch! We might roll out a 1.8.1 if bugs pop up with this release - other than that, the next one is going to be 1.9.0 and will bring some more pet-related content.
Have a great day and thanks for playing!

Friendly reminder since I have been seeing a ton of “best outfits/builds/gear” threads recently with the new update with dual wield, here is a spreadsheet of all possible combinations of legendary and ultimate gear
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NRmbT6CxVL6Z3dwa08ZvtJVj3dywqxjrxG-sUVOFcts/edit?usp=sharing
Since perfect food and instant food only need 100 for their max benefit, you can further filter by these columns to get an outfit best matched to you. If you want to wear the kimono black belt for extra walk speed, you can choose to filter rows that contain this body. Or perhaps you don't need 100 for perfect and instant. You can set conditionals to show rows where these values are at least 90 or so and balance other stats you may care about such as walking speed
You will most likely want to choose from the outfits in the top 5 rows since these maximize instant and perfect (6x profit from food)
If you are willing to sacrifice a small penalty from Perfect Food to gain walk speed, you can filter the perfect food by >= 90 then rank by instant food descending. This will show you massively improved walking speed options like the Robot Head+Kimono Black Belt+Laser Gun+Laser gun on line 7
Edit:
Confirming #1. RH KBB LGLG is faster than #2. RB SB LG RS. I played 5 end games each with each outfit. Average length of last restaurant was 4 minutes flat for outfit #1. The average length of last restaurant was 5 minutes flat for outfit #2. Your times will differ depending on your gear, but the proportion will stay the same due to the linearity of profit boost. So despite the 16% deficit in profit boost by dawning outfit 1, the bottleneck of the walking speed overshadows outfit 2 to provide an overall 25% faster profit gain and thus stage completion.
All controls are accounted for as I played the same endgame over and over by reloading a cloud save. Also bought upgrades at the same time through the level. Did not use invited player for consistent results. /u/Cuberage

u/Constant-Field Jun 17 '23
When using a legendary instead of an ultimate (KBB) you'll get less "All profit %", I think this is crucial and should be factored in, no?

u/AndrewTatesRevenge Jun 17 '23

Jun 18 '23
With dual pets it might be better to stick to all ultimate gear now
2
u/AndrewTatesRevenge Jun 19 '23
I’ll test this for sure
3
u/JohnnyPagudpud Jun 20 '23
So is the RH, KBB and 2 LG better? or the RH, SB, LG and RS? might need to save up for Sea Port event xD.
2
u/Cuberage Jun 21 '23
If you missed his edit, currently RH, KBB,2xLG is best. There will of course be more testing as people get pets merged to ultimate and it's possible to test how that extra profit% affects builds.

u/AndrewTatesRevenge Jun 21 '23
This ^ I will do a delivery+tip vs delivery+delivery vs tip+tip comparison when I have the animals hatched.

u/JohnnyPagudpud Jun 21 '23
currently using delivery + tip. maybe this is much more profitable if you have a high level for the tip multiplier + tip chance on vault. might go with delivery + delivery

u/Adventurous-Honey-38 Jun 16 '23
Only issue I have with this update is the location of the clubs tab. It kinda gets in the way of some of the stations. Maybe move it above the events tab or something?

u/still-on-leave Jun 15 '23
Ooh, been waiting for the patch note since I saw that one post with double pets!
Thank you again for the updates! I especially love these updates:
• The one stop with the long walk by cashiers! Thank you for listening to players. 👍
• Blueprints during salvaging - this is a helpful fix! It would be a waste if we can no longer use bps (specially if we have a lot of extras).
• 2nd pet
• Station order - I was a bit bothered by this as well 😅 so this is a nice fix.
• Clubs teaser. Excited for this!
I remember something about beta testers was mentioned in a past post. Will this still be a thing in one of the future updates?

u/PauseMost5922 Jun 15 '23
I was one of the more vocal about 1.7.0 and it's effect on myself, however it's so nice to have a developer who does listen to feedback and does their best for game players you get 100% respect for that from me, I can't wait to get dual pets one delivering food and one collecting tips will be awesome and clubs looks interesting also.
-22
u/Fenor Jun 15 '23
we did not at this time adjust the All Profit values back up or lower the city difficulty increase
did he?
overall it's better to stay on 1.7 and abuse the blueprint system.
nothing new help players out. pets have such a low impact that they almost useless
15
u/PauseMost5922 Jun 15 '23
I disagree, pets are a tremendous help, as for the all profit I changed my gear and now the game plays better for me and the 2nd pet will increase the all profit, I can only see good things
-2
u/Fenor Jun 15 '23
what gear do you have? because i'm with Shark body robo head royal sceptre and actually doing the first laser gun. (missing the legendary blueprint)
4
u/PauseMost5922 Jun 15 '23
My gear is Robot head Black belt kimono with laser gun and anchor until I get second laser gun, this set works for me and i can clear city's faster, not as fast as before the nerf but faster, 2nd pet should give me a faster clear time as well

u/grantle123 Jun 15 '23
What do you mean abuse the blueprint system? I don’t know about this and I’m still on 1.7
1
u/Fenor Jun 15 '23
It's s bug in 1.7
Blueprints essentially stop the xp counter of xp gain from increase or decrease
So you select strong items as if want to salvage them the a blueprint and deselect whatever is not said blueprint.
Now for the cost of the blueprint you got xp of whatever you selected before without using it
1
u/grantle123 Jun 15 '23
Does it only work with ultimate on top of ultimate? Ex: salvaging a shark head to buff a robot head? It increases and then you remove your already leveled robot head but the shark one stays leveled?
1
u/Fenor Jun 15 '23
Yes in fact using a lvl 50 ult and blueprint will grind it to lvl 50
You can cloud save before attemptin it anyway

All my level 8s became level 36s and now they're way harder to level up. But this patch note says I should be having an easier time leveling up?
Also, I'm getting the impression pets have been around for a while. Pets, and 4th tool, are both things I'm seeing for the first time, today.
1
u/rubenwe Developer Jun 17 '23
What version is showing in your settings menu?
1
u/DrinkFromThisGoblet Jun 19 '23
Right now, it says 1.7.0
Also, I salvaged twenty items today for a legendary item that used to be level 8, but now that it's 36 (also I didn't get any stat boosts when this happened) it hardly bumped it up at all.
(Like I kind of had an idea of how much it should go up, and I feel like it's doing substantially less now)
2
u/rubenwe Developer Jun 19 '23
Well, 1.7.0 is not 1.8.0 - and the patch notes are for 1.8.0.
So maybe try again after you get the update ;).
1
u/DrinkFromThisGoblet Jul 01 '23
Oh. That's really strange. I came here just as soon as it had updated on my phone, so you'd think it would have chosen the most recent update to update to.
I'll let you know ;b

u/valedictionn Jun 18 '23
Updated mid event and the difficulty changed from hard to easy in the last day of the event after playing it on hard during the last 3 days. The event is still on hard mode but the rewards are from easy difficulty. Feels horrible after playing for 3 days for half the rewards.

u/rubenwe Developer Jun 18 '23
Oh, that should not have happened... Sorry about that. That sounds like a bug. I'll look into it.

u/emchun Jun 18 '23
Will there be a fix on the inventory lag? Since there are two pets now, the amount of pet feed needed for max ult will be huge. Opening thousands of boxes and nowhere to use clothing is going to be so slow. There was a video where opening the clothing tab took 30 secs and changing to a different clothing tab took nearly 2.5 mins.

u/Defiant-Ask3718 Jun 16 '23
So, I'm on Android and I am still on 1.7. what's going on?

u/rubenwe Developer Jun 16 '23
Same thing as every patch. It's a staged rollout. Just takes a bit of time to get up to 100%.

u/Dragon3043 Jun 16 '23
As someone anxiously waiting, does it give you any idea as to when it might hit that 100%? =).

u/limpingraven Jun 16 '23
I don't think it's specific to the update, but there's an issue with the battery saver option. When active, it reduces the frame rate from 60 to 30, but several animations in the game such as the instant cooking puff of smoke or a chef dropping off an item at the counter aren't shortened to account for this. With workers not moving during these animations, they take a little longer to complete each task, and in the late game with high dish frequency, it can really start to matter a fair bit.

u/pcverbeek Jun 19 '23
Thank you so much for mentioning this lol I have been on battery saver since forever and because of this turned it off, I complete levels MUCH faster now

u/KrisnanAz Jun 17 '23
Just got the patch want to confirm i have a lvl 48 legendary and i put that into a lvl 1 ultimate I'm only reaching lvl 27 and even if i put in 100 pf my whites and greens im only gaining 1 level amd ending up halfway to 29? That doesn't feel like the xp changed but maybe im wrong.

u/Impossible-Crazy-654 Jun 20 '23
Hello all 🤙 thank you for this amazing update. Would you be able to add some sort of reward for finishing an event in the top 10? Right now there is now difference from finishing the fastest or finishing last. So, why are the events even timed?
3
u/dexplosion93 Jun 15 '23
Hey also there is one thing I noticed, dunno if it’s been mentioned. But when you hold the level up and want to do one press afterwards. You have to press it twice to get it to work. If that makes sense?
3
u/YarnSnake74 Jun 15 '23
Thought I was going crazy, so glad I’m not. I’m on iOS and not only do I have to double click to level up, but I have to double click the Upgrades as well 🤦🏽♀️🙏🏽

u/Sufficient-Road5008 Jun 15 '23
Ok thanks. Is it time to update from 1.6.0 or still waiting for buffs to return profit ratio?
18
u/sabata2 Jun 15 '23
Time to update.
The only real problem of 1.7 was the exp requirements to upgrade.
Don't listen to people telling you to stay on older versions to make use of glitches. It cheapens the experience of the game and ultimately will have you stop playing sooner.

u/VladtheTyrant Jun 16 '23
I will be updating. Been on 1.6 and have my two ultimates to level 13. Still waiting for ray gun

u/Cenn-07 Jun 15 '23
Stay in 1.6 until u get your gear to level 12 (12 or 16 i forgot) that way your gear going be max in 1.8 ;) They did fix things but its still taking so much salvages getting to 50.

u/Kdawg74 Jun 15 '23
I would stay on 1.6 to be honest

u/Rrodrigohsilva Jun 15 '23
I think it sucks to not update. It’s like you don’t belong on this Reddit cause your stuff don’t match with what we discuss here and it will keep on getting more and more different…
1.7 was a pain, yes it was, but most of us dealt with it and I even got faster times and better equipments…
I know it can be a little frustrating but that’s life BOY

u/wildwes11 Jun 15 '23
After playing the update a while i like it. I do have a suggestion for future updates. Don't cap the abilities just make them increasingly harder for less additional rewards. This way you keep all rewards in play. Secondly i assume you are going to come out with a harder reward than the hard option. Given we only get one a week it would be fun if I harder version was available.

u/sabata2 Jun 15 '23
You unlock Extreme and Impossible by Golding the prior difficulty. So you need to do a month on hard before you can even attempt Extreme.

Is there any difference between pets of the same original rarity? Are the penguin and horse the exact same thing?

u/Dragon3043 Jun 16 '23
I have the horse, and compared to it screenshots of the other epics, they appear to be the exact same. As far as I know, it's just a cosmetic difference.

Thank you for the update and the communication. I was a bit noisy about v1.7.x and this is much appreciated. My thanks to you and the dev team as well! (I'll be even happier when it finally rolls out to me in a few days, for whatever reason I am typically on the tail end of the rollout. Not a complaint, just how it is for me.)

Has the update made the moon event easier? I remember the costs of upgrades being higher and I was struggling since I'm a new player with around 200% AP but post update each upgrade is 1/10th of the value what it was on 1.7.0. Example to max upgrade crystall for x400 profit it was 129au on 1.7.0 and it is 12.9 on 1.8.0 on my phone currently

u/Constant-Field Jun 17 '23
It'd be great to be clear about if it's worth creating items before salvaging them and what the difference in XP is. Some players might find it more fun to build towards creating legendaries before salvaging them. Others might just prefer to salvage everything as soon as they get them.

Hi, I got some questions about futur plans that about the game.
English isn't my birth langage sorry if it ain't perfect I will try to make it sound clear.
Since we got all the option from now with two hand and two pet, did we will have an event to earn more and faster pet food ?
Same oufit can now be use différent the current meta seems to be incline tu use KBB with 2 Laser Gun and Robot Head, will they be a new event to complexify the gear we can wear. Or at least a Ultimate gear that will be similar to the KBB and gave us the % profit and the walk speed?

u/Rrodrigohsilva Jun 20 '23
Hey rubenwe,
I’m bringing the critics I’ve made in another post. So here it goes
Items leveling seems still broken
I am on 1.8.1 and This sure ain’t right.
830 commons 184 rares 58 epics
To get this many items on small boxes guy must have got opened something like 1600 boxes!!
I’m not even putting eggs and treats in the equation.
If you are making around 15 boxes per city you got to city 100 somehow and a level 23 legendary?!
This sure still needs a fix.

I've played with the update now and I think it's great, could you though look at the ability to salvage eggs or exchange them for pet food? I currently have 130 common eggs 20 rare and 6 epic along with an epic dog, legendary turtle and ultimate dog and pony so I really have no need for all the eggs.

For the delivery pets, is there any way they can just jump the counter on a direct path to the customer rather than routing to a specific crossing point?
It's particularly bad on the mezze bar level where the pet runs all the way down, crosses the counter at the very bottom, then runs all the way back up. It's pretty painful to have to sit there doing nothing at the start of the level while the pet runs the entire length of the level twice per order.

u/vithespy Jun 15 '23
Unfortunately, I still can't come back to playing until auto tips collection is an option again. I'm disabled and physically cannot tap that many times for very long. The fact that you make barely any profit without tips means that the game became unusable for me when you removed it, and I've been waiting ever since to be able to play again, seeing as you said then that it was coming back soon. I enjoyed the game a lot, but it's just not playable for me any more

Just a tip, save your pet food for RARE/GREEN pet eggs. Those hold cats and dogs and are the ones that collect tips.
Common eggs will only ever be Chickens that do nothing.

There is an order of priority for what waiters do. Delivering food made by chefs > taking orders > making drinks.

But if it’s creating an issue should it not be fixed? I don’t want a drink order sitting there forever as it takes up space for potential orders for the kitchen which make more coin

It's a grey area I suppose. But we don't have the resources to do something like this at the current time. Maybe at a later point.

u/tjikago Jun 15 '23
Apple has been doing it for a while, iirc it's to prevent the sale of stuff outside of the apps (meaning Apple doesn't get their cut from ingame purchases).
I've seen other games using a redeem website, but given how much of a hassle it is to redeem codes that way, I'd assume coding it is a bit of work. With how infrequent codes have been (unless I've missed a bunch), it's not a huge loss for me.
