World End Diner

Thoughts & suggestions
Current restaurant lv 12 with most things unlock. Probably around 25 or so hours gameplay(?), I didn't keep track and I was afking here and there.

Be warn, game is very grindy, but fun and kills time. Takes around 1-3 hours per higher level, probably longer the higher it is.
English localization is not the best, but you can still understand somewhat.
Style is similar to Traveler's Rest (more about drinks/tavern). But more advanced as in things to do/leveling/exploration/ect.
You get tax 3% each day, sorta makes sense but it sucks a bit when you didn't open your shop for the day to gather materials.

There's 4 skills type and 3 currency.

Skills: You need to level up the required skills level in order to unlock the Stars's skills.
Green/Nature - Reaping plants.
Yellow/Grain - Millings, alchemy, battery
Red/Fire- Cooking
Blue Water- Cleaning, pouring

Currency: Clover- Clover skill tree level up (production/robo boost)
Stars - Exp. skill tree (recipes/gather boost/ect)
Purple apocalypse coin - from interacting with relics (5 in map & random gather nodes) daily. Aside from purchasing the books, which I have no idea what's the use of it at this point.

Then there's diner level, from customers reputation/exp. All in all, grindy.

Maybe because it's the way the game is designed to be grindy/slow, but customers eat very slow. I have 18 seats. I get around 30-40 ish customers per day (open from 0600-2300)

Storage system is nice. Barrel allows your farm harvest to automatically go there. Stack of box allows all (except seeds) you buy from merchant gets auto deposit there. When cooking, items are pulled out from any and all containers automatically.

Recipe level up once you've cooked the required amount. Each level increased sell price by 10%

The only two bugs I've experience so far.
1. If you place a barrel/object on the bottom left corner of your farm, before you have expanded your farm. That object will get wipe out. In my case, the barrel disappear and I couldn't buy it again from shop. ever.
2. Buy Wheat quest stuck. Quests unlock once you have complete the previous quest. I wasn't focusing on it and was just leveling my diner reputation. I think at certain level of reputation, the merchant stops selling wheat. So the quest to buy wheat was forever stuck.

===Suggestions ===

* Higher skills boost for end tier - (this was from my previous post), skills boost for end tier is pretty low for how grindy it is to get there - farm/production +25%
*More customers - customers eat faster. I have so much food in stock because I want to level up the recipe, and I had to stop making to reduce the stock before making more. I know lv 17 has a take out cart, but haven't get there yet and not sure how it'll function exactly.
* Bigger stack size- max stack size is 99, it could fit 999 or 9999 on screen. I personally hoard items.
* goats/chicken improve- they're really useless, gives 2 milk each /milking, up to 6 milk total per day (if I remember correctly). chicken gives 1 egg. . I just buy from merchant.
* speed boost please. I can only run maybe once or twice each day as stamina bar takes ages to build up. map is kinda big too
* Allow chopping of flower/plants - this huge flower bush spawned, blocking my container path (wasn't there before) and I can't get rid of it.
* Multiple cooking/queues- would like to cook multiple items at once. Space seems to be limited for multiple stoves/frying pan. so maybe allow queues or faster cooking time skills.
* Seawater gathering for salt is far, maybe because I haven't unlock more salt water containers yet.
* Display time limited menu - Time limited menu is not that great in explaining the time it's available. Bacon eggs/ fried eggs - till 11am. Tea is somewhere in the afternoon (don't know exact time), cakes/pie dinner (??)
* Priority food - Like customers preferred/would buy time limited items/seasonal/trending over the other food if they're available in stock.
* more chances of combo - combo is kinda rare.
* not sure what Craft Skill do, aside from items for daily quests. Don't seems to allow crafting of extra tables/chairs.the drive
* reduce penalty for dirty table. It doesn't make sense for a +8 reputation table to become -1 just because the table is dirty. There is no way I could clean it before they make their way to check out.
* more items stock amount daily (foodstufs/seasoning/Seeds)
* my cat should work faster. kitty is slow
* jasmine & lavender +1 harvest skill ?
* low priority suggestion - pixel art could be better.
