Countertop softlock

[Shari]

I have to do the soft opening and I have 1/2 countertops, I've slept and went to the Gallerie for 3 days in a row and they sell no countertops, I can't open the restaurant.

Softlocked?

And you clicked on the correct category at the bottom middle? It should be the same one as the Cooking Equipment, I believe 2nd from the left.

I ran into the same issue. The shop sells "counters" but not "countertops". There's even a "counter" in the lampshade category (second from the right) but that doesn't count either.

Force quitting seemed to save, so I'm stuck with these items. Hopefully I can sell some foraged items to buy the "countertop" if it shows up in the shops. I can't open the restaurant without one.

Aaand it's weekend and the Galerie is closed. I chose to try fishing and bought a new fishing rod because my old one was too weak.. and turns out it's the same fishing rod.

Early game needs some major tweaking if they want to keep players. I wonder how many have asked for refunds at this point.

Unless your game has some oddly specific bug related to the naming of them, EVERY Counter he sells works for all Soft/Grand Openings, Events, Quest related tasks, etc.

Image shows the counters from the store in the shop, yet the requirement isn't fulfilled.

To update, the "kitchen counter" in the modern style counted for the quest. I waited for Monday and used the last of my money in one last hail mary. Now I can keep playing.

That does indeed seem to be a bug or at least unintended gameplay. I can't image the Devs would REQUIRE us to purchase ONLY 1 specific Counter without also stating as much in the tool tip when you hover over Quest in the Restaurant.

Easiest way to get more cash without opening the restaurant is to go collect shells from the beaches and them sell them to the seafood vendor. you can get a decent amount of coin that way. you can also hunt animals and sell the meat to the meat vendor and veggies and fruit respectively to the other vendors.

That's the wrong one. Get the grey Kitchen Counter. The one in the tab that looks like a blender. You need a Kitchen Counter. I know, it's confusing, but that's what you need.
