I've got some questions cause I'm a bit confused

[Unembellished Genius]

1. When you finish diving and choose a fish what happens to all the other fish that I caught. And What's the purpose of choosing a fish anyway.

2. What should I be choosing for menus items. Should I only be choosing food that is the most expensive for the customer.

3 What's the purpose of the ingredients tab. It looks like you can sell ingredients. Is this just a way to sell surplus ingredients.

4. What does adding multiples of the same food on the menu change.

5. What's the benefit of enhancing food. I'm assuming that once a dish is upgraded it stays upgraded and costs the customer more therefore increasing my Gold intake.

6 I see the days are counting down. Is there some form of time limit or am I free to grind looking for materials and what not.

You can only bring one item if you die. In order to not die you need to go to the surface before your oxygen runs out or find a blue radio. If you do this you will get to keep everything you catch.

I'll try to help out:

1) You are not supposed to "finish" a dive by depleting all your oxygen - actually, that is a situation to avoid. If you lose all your oxygen, you will also lose all your fish and items (except one). A successful dive is ended by either swimming back all the way to the surface, or by using one of the many evacuation spots (marked by a walkie talkie).

2) It is your choice what you put on the menu. Usually you want food that tastes good and brings a lot of cash for you (i.e. is more expensive to the customer). Pay attention to how many items you put on the menu, on lower restaurant levels you won't get as many customers, so putting 20+ portions on the menu does not make much sense when you only get 10 guests, as guests usually only eat one meal.

3) Not quite sure, probably just to make it easier for you to see what you have available and what you have to acquire for certain recipes.

4) See my answer to 2), guests come in and want to order something - usually they go for the tasty items first. So when you have 4 of a certain dish available, 4 guests will be able to order that dish, the next guest will have to order something else.

5) You get more money for selling the dish, and the rating goes up, so guests are more likely to choose that dish.

6) Sometimes there are events that give you a couple of days preparation time. Other than that, I have not yet encountered any time limits.

3) As you progress, you get recipes that need ingredients. The ingredients tab is a place where you can check how many of them you have, and it shows what recipes they are used for. Blacked out recipes you haven't researched yet. It will also show you the value and taste level of the recipes you know. So you can look and see that say soy sauce is used in 2 recipes you know, but one dish is worth 3 times as much as the other, so it is best to save your soy sauce for the more valuable dish.

5) Enhancing is permanent, yes. The cost in ingredients to enhance increases each level, but it can make you more efficient. Of course it is a balancing act. Is it worth the time to get enough clownfish to enhance that sushi to level 10? Depends how you play.

First off thank you for the responses they have helped a ton. I dont think I was clear on one thing though. Im not talking about choosing 1 thing to keep after a failed dive. After you come up from a successful dive youre given a list of fish that you caught. You choose one and the chef gives you a thumbs up.

My question is what is the significance of choosing that one fish and what happens to all the other fish I caught. I'm assuming I should always choose either the most expensive fish or a fish Ive never served before.

I don't think you're choosing one. I believe it's just letting you look at all the different fish that you caught and the amounts of each.

Yep - what FallDown said.

What is the purpose of the smiling emoji on top of the bowls on the menu ?

Probably not still relevant but incase it is to anyone, Falldown is right. I'm also not a huge gamer so it might've helpful to me also to lay it out super clear- when you end your dive you keep everything, the first item is just highlighted because there are some cases later on where you dont want to send every catch to the kitchen. saying ok just sends everything:) it will all show up in your ingredient list and menu that night.
Also like everyone said, the menu is up to you. if you need money for uogrades you probably want to put on the highest priced items. Enhancing dishes also helps with prices but more importantly you get points for the taste levels on dishes - so watch that the taste stat goes up when you enhance something. It can be worth it to not put a high priced item up because it will be more valuable if you can get enough ingredients to enhance

I figured out why the end screen after a dive is confusing, and after searching Ive seen others with similar issues. At the end of a dive when it shows you all the fish is just a status screen. The confusing part is highlighting a fish doesnt show any extra info so makes it seem like youre choosing a fish.

The highlighting of the fish is to scroll down when you have too many fish to fit on the screen. I think a simple solution would be to remove the option of clicking on fish if there is nothing to show and only be able to highlight fish when you there are to many to list on the screen. To me that would show that its only there for scrolling and not choosing.
