Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together News

[h2]Chefs of the world — get ready.  [/h2][p]In Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together, we’ve taken one of the biggest leaps since the first game. This time, you’re not just following recipes… you’re writing them.  [/p][p]  [/p][p]In the first Cooking Simulator, recipes were pretty much “carved in stone.” Stray from the instructions and any deviation from the instructions was treated as a mistake. Not anymore. With our brand-new Blueprint system, we’re putting creativity right in your hands — giving you the freedom to edit, swap, build, and completely reinvent dishes however you like.  [/p][p] [/p][h3]What’s a Blueprint?  [/h3][p]Think of it as your personal recipe lab.  [/p][p]You can start with one of our dishes and tweak it… or go full mad-genius chef and create something totally unique from scratch.  [/p][p]Every ingredient. Every process. Every step. Yours to control.  [/p][p] [/p][p]Want to replace onions with leeks? Easy.  [/p][p]Add cheese to a burger? Done.  [/p][p]Build a five-step gourmet masterpiece? Go for it.  [/p][p][/p][p]The Blueprint system gives you access to all the ingredients and processes available in the game. It allows you to edit existing recipes or add brand-new ones. While working on a recipe, you can also track in real time how its flavor profile changes. In fact, it’s a simulation of all the cooking mechanics in our game! This makes it one of the more complex systems to operate, which is why we put a lot of effort into making the interface as clear and visually appealing as possible.  [/p][p] [/p][h3]Paths to Perfection  [/h3][p] Every recipe is made up of paths — groups of actions for a set of ingredients.  [/p][p]Some are simple, like a broth (one path, everything in the pot).  [/p][p]Others are multi-step marvels, like a burger with fried bacon and onion rings:  [/p][p] [/p]

• [p]Grill the patty  [/p]

• [p]Toast the bun  [/p]

• [p]Fry the bacon  [/p]

• [p]Bread and deep-fry the onion rings  [/p]

• [p]Prep the raw toppings  [/p]

[p] [/p][p]You can merge paths (fry onions before adding them to soup) or split them (serve components separately). It’s cooking, your way.  [/p][p]All paths eventually lead to assembly — the stage where everything prepared in the Blueprint is combined on the plate into a single portion for the customer.  [/p][p]The Blueprint system supports that too.  [/p][p]Each path must have at least one ingredient. An ingredient can be cut into one of its available cutting types or seasoned with spices. You can also specify the number of portions of that ingredient.  [/p][p]Ingredients can be treated with thermal or mechanical processing. You can add multiple processes to a single path, and processes can be repeated multiple times. If you want an ingredient to remain raw, no processing step is required — but keep in mind that some ingredients are inedible without thermal processing! Mechanical processing is also possible, such as blending.  [/p][p] [/p][h3]Control the Flavour  [/h3][p]While you experiment, the Inspector panel shows how your changes affect the flavor profile — from the five basic tastes (salty, sweet, sour, bitter, umami) to extra attributes like spicy and fatty.  [/p][p]The graph displays information depending on what you’re focused on:  [/p][p] [/p]

• [p]A single ingredient at a given stage of the path.  [/p]

• [p]The entire process step at a given stage of the path.  [/p]

• [p]The whole dish.  [/p]

[p] [/p][p]Monitoring these elements will be useful when dealing with different customer groups visiting your restaurant (but that’s a topic for another article ;).  [/p][p]Most importantly, there’s more than one way to achieve the same effect.  [/p][p] [/p][p]Want sweetness without sugar? Try carrots.  [/p][p]Need more umami? Mushrooms might be your answer.  [/p][p] [/p][h3]Save, Share, and Expand  [/h3][p]Name your creations, save them, and add them to your restaurant menu. Each recipe even gets a complexity rating, so there’s more incentive to serve a gourmet feast instead of, say… salted water.  [/p][p] [/p][p]And the best part?  [/p][p]We’re planning to expand the Blueprint system over time with new processes and ingredients in various packages — meaning your creativity will keep growing long after launch.  [/p][p] [/p][p]Bottom line: In Cooking Simulator 2, you’re not just cooking meals. You’re crafting your culinary legacy.  [/p][p][/p][p]Next round in couple weeks we will let you cook it however this time we need your feedback on the blueprint itself as it is an important part of the process. [/p][p][/p][h3]Join our playtest on Discord[/h3][p][/p][p]https://discord.gg/bigcheesestudio[/p][p][/p][h3]So, chef — what will your first Blueprint be? [/h3]

Hi Chefs!👨‍🍳

Let’s check some of the new handy features that will turn cooking in Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together into something even more professional!

While creating the game we focus on improving the gameplay, which is based on recreating lifelike cooking in a professional kitchen.

In Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together your task will be to prepare various meals for the restaurant’s guests simultaneously! That’s why you will have Chef’s little helpers at your disposal in the game. One of them may seem small but how important – a stainless steel container!

[h3]CONTAINERS 👌[/h3]

You already know that we introduced some changes in the BIG KITCHEN. First of all, you’ll have separate work stations for cutting and preparing products. This is also the place where you can transfer products into the containers. They’ll have different sizes and you’ll be able to mark them with colorful stickers!

In the heart of the Big Kitchen we have designed two islands – as you know, we’ll introduce a coop mode in the game! On each island there are two assembly stations. It means that you will be able to prepare not only one dish but four different meals at the same time! Each assembly station has a place for 8 containers, which gives us as many as 32 containers max.


It’s important to add that at the end of the day if you have some ingredients left, you can store them in the fridge in the containers. It’ll extend the freshness of products. And if you’d like to run this place as a professional Chef you can prepare the ingredients in larger quantities in advance in the morning or in the evening for the next day’s cooking! How cool is that 😃

We’ll be revealing more tasty details soon! If you want to stay up-to-date with news and announcements wishlist and follow Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together on Steam!🚀
