Path to portions

All information accurate at time of publishing.

Slightly later than billed, this is the concluding instalment of my series of posts looking at how to maximise your gains in the game. Our final focus is on the subject of portions and how to stack up your counters with enough food to last a lifetime (or near enough!)

Now for many players this post is largely irrelevant. I'm speaking here of those who already have a feast on their counters and no risk of selling out anytime soon. With my massive heaps of Biscuits and Gravy and Kiwi & Cake, I'm very much in that category, but it's still worth looking into how to once again build up some big stacks in a short time.

Before getting going, I should point out that throughout this post I'll be assuming that your diner is capable of selling somewhere in the region of 40,000-45,000 plates per day. That's the figure most players manage (even if they're not aware of it!) with the only difference really being inflicted by having a very inefficient layout (too few tables, very long walks for the bots etc.)

The Garlic Tree opens its doors to the world

I've always tried to be very secretive when it comes to my Storm8 ID. The reason for this is quite simple - I try not to have too many neighbours, and publishing my Storm8 ID could possibly result in a barrage of neighbour requests that I could really be doing without.

But I've found a workaround! I have a secondary account which I only use for 'emergency gifting' and checking the level at which new content is unlocked. This account has been on-the-go for a long time, but for some reason I'd never thought to use it as a gateway to my primary account.

So here's how it works. If you fancy stopping by my restaurant, The Garlic Tree, you need only invite lorettasapron to be a new neighbour. This is my secondary account's Storm8 ID. After doing this you'll be able to visit Lilac Hill which is a hovel of a place. But that's really not the point! The magic happens when you visit the wall - there you'll find a message posted by yours truly, and thus a link to The Garlic Tree!
