¶ Developer's Notes
Announcement
¶ Hi there, Platers!
Don your protective equipment and get ready to face the Heat, or gear up for some Chill gardening as you grow your Greenhouse because The Turning Up The Heat Update is now available across all platforms!
Don’t panic when you’re struggling on Heat 10 Fajitas, it’s just a skillet issue.
For a video overview of the new content, go check out our friend Cran’s Turning Up The Heat Update Video!
Most mods should continue working with this game update; however, if you're experiencing issues launching your game, we recommend that you unsubscribe and give mod developers time to update them for the new content. If you identify a specific mod issue, please leave a friendly comment for the mod developer on the Steam Workshop page for the mod so they know about the issue.
If you’re a Steam player who helped us out by Taste-Testing the update during the public beta period we do recommend starting fresh on the live branch. However, if you'd like to transfer over your Taste-Test save data manually, please reach out in a Discord support ticket for instructions on how to manually transfer the files.
Happy Plating!
- The PlateUp! Team
¶ Features:
- Heat Cards: Beating Day 15 on a dish will now allow you to play that dish with an added challenge card, called a Heat card. Each Heat card stacks with the previous level, enabling you to turn up the challenge through 10 new levels. Progress on each dish is tracked in the lobby so you can show off your skills to everyone you play with
- Chill Cards: Beating Day 15 will also enable you to play with three stacking levels of Chill cards, so that you can explore new strategies and try new techniques without the full pressure of a normal restaurant. For players who want an easier experience from the start, you can enable Chill mode on all dishes via the settings menu.
- Fajitas: Fajitas bring a new sizzling mechanic into the game. This dish has to be cooked in a frying pan and served immediately while it's still hot. If it gets too cold, you'll need to re-cook it for your impatient customers. Serve them up with a variety of extras and dips.
- Greenhouse: For players who want to grow their restaurant empires, beating Day 15 with Heat cards active will reward you with a new plant. Plants can be brought into runs instead of crates. But unlike crates, you can use them as much as you like. Each plant has a different buff, and every time you find a plant there's a chance it'll come with a special rarity, increasing its strength.
- New Outfits: This update also includes new gardener and fireman outfits and hats.
¶ Tweaks:
- Two new buffet upgrades have been added, the Buffet - Heated and the Buffet - Platter
- The lobby's setting selector now remembers your last choice
- Combiners can now bin things
- Portioners can now combine things from item sources
- Portioners can now empty (full) bins
- Copied blueprints can now be placed back into their cabinets, and can be placed into empty cabinets (they still can't be copied, though)
- Picky Eater dishes can now be stored on a dish rack. All dishes on the rack have to be the same type
- Descriptions of some appliances have been improved to show their process speeds
- Customers who are going to buffets will wait a bit even if someone else takes the item they wanted
- Customers who are at buffets and only have their order partially served (such as not getting their side, or only getting some of their tacos) will wait at the buffet for a bit in case the rest of the order comes
- Achievements on Switch: The game now tracks achievements for Switch users, so you can unlock every achievement and view them all within the game
- Crates (and plants) that arrive in the lobby when you have no space are now placed into an inbox pile. You can take and place them from this pile to get access to them
¶ Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where two portioners trying to act on the same thing at the same time would cause one to wait a frame (this means two portioners pointed at the same sink will fill pots correctly)
- Fixed a bug where smart grabbers wouldn't always grab correctly if they were grabbing from another grabber
- Fixed a case where two dishes could overlap in the lobby
- Performance improvements throughout the game
- PlayStation networking has been improved to try and fix joining problems for some players. We have looked at this issue a lot (and even hired external support to work out what's going on!) but we're still not entirely sure. If you're still having issues joining friends on PlayStation, please let us know as we have added some (opt-in) logging that you can enable that will help us work out what's going on
- Fixed dishes with less-than-default eating times not applying reliably
- Fixed a bug with text disappearing on the endgame screen
- Fixed a bug where delivering extras to a customer would reset their eating time
- Fixed missing text for Dish Cabinet reward screen
- Fixed a bug with buffets and sundaes where multiple customers in a group ordered the same thing and would sometimes get stuck
- Fixed a bug where saved resolutions would not be loaded correctly
- Fixed a bug where high-tier franchises involving Sundaes could sometimes have lots of copies of the Sundaes card which would eventually make it impossible to franchise them. This bug could make the game crash on load in extreme cases; these fixes should make the game load again correctly, but if not please let us know and we can manually fix your saves if the game is still not loading
- Fixed achievement count being wrong in some cases
- Fixed bins emptying into your hands if you ran into range with the button held
- Fixed a crash when leaving a lobby shortly after it loaded
- Fixed a bug with Nut Roast visual not updating when split
- Fixed customers squatting when waiting around in some cases
- Fixed Double Helpings not listing the increased money benefit
- Customers queuing at host stands near hatches will now queue in the correct place, which prevents cases where they could teleport over the wall
