# Pro Tips

Plan your next dish before planting. Match the number of crops to the ingredients required, then leave enough seed stock for the following cycle.

Balance automatic serving with cooked stock. More CPS is useful only while suitable food remains available. Before leaving the game, review Stock, preferred menu and autofill.

Use the recipe tooltips to choose skills. A bonus can apply to a specific ingredient, category or revenue channel; a chance effect may not trigger every time.

Batch quotes matter. VIP cooking and AgriBot processing times scale with quantity. Read total time, ingredients and fees before starting a large batch.

Check order books before trading. A reference price is not a guaranteed price, and gross sale value differs from net proceeds after seller fees. A buy offer reserves TIPS.

Compare resource goals. A delivery reward may be useful, but donating its ingredients can delay your next recipe. Community Delivery also has daily allowances and shared quotas.

Keep the ranking factors straight. Coins generated is different from current Coins balance, and the TIPS factor uses current in-game balance. Trade count and volume are not separate Airdrop factors.

Read Prestige's confirmation carefully. It is a broad new-run reset, not a small XP conversion. Your ordinary stock and production progress do not all carry over.

Use official announcements for current event timing and proposed launch changes. Guidebook illustrations and roadmap targets should not be treated as guaranteed rewards or token allocations.
