Heat: A new set of Challenge Cards

You’ve beaten Day 15. You’ve beaten Overtime 25. Some of you have even beaten Overtime 200. But now, there’s a new challenge.

Beating Day 15 on a dish will now allow you to play that dish with an added challenge card, called a Heat card. Each Heat card stacks with the previous level, enabling you to turn up the challenge through 10 new levels. Progress on each dish is tracked in the lobby so you can show off your skills to everyone you play with

Chill: Ways to play without the stress

For everyone who isn’t so keen on things being harder, what if they were easier instead? From trying out risky strategies to playing with new friends, there’s plenty of reasons to want a more chilled time.

Beating Day 15 will also enable you to play with three stacking levels of Chill cards, so that you can explore new strategies and try new techniques without the full pressure of a normal restaurant. For players who want an easier experience from the start, you can enable Chill mode on all dishes via the settings menu.

Fajitas: New Dish

Fajitas bring a new sizzling mechanic into the game. This dish has to be cooked in a frying pan and served immediately while it’s still hot. If it gets too cold, you’ll need to re-cook it for your impatient customers. Serve them up with a variety of extras and dips.

The Greenhouse: New upgrades to bring into your restaurant

Where better to enjoy all the heat than in your own greenhouse? This update adds the Greenhouse to the lobby, where you can collect all of your plants.

Plants are a new reward, earned by beating Day 15 with Heat cards active, that you can bring with you into future runs. Unlike crates, you can use them as much as you like.

Each plant has a unique buff that will help propel your restaurants to success. Every time you find a plant there’s a chance it’ll come with a special rarity, increasing its strength. Play on higher heats and get further into overtime for a better chance at the strongest plants.

Some of them might even help you turn up the heat!

Extra Helpings

• Two new buffet upgrades have been added, the Buffet – Heated and the Buffet – Platter
• The lobby’s setting selector now remembers your last choice
• Combiners can now bin things
• Portioners can now combine things from item sources
• Portioners can now empty (full) bins
• Copied blueprints can now be placed back into their cabinets, and can be placed into empty cabinets (they still can’t be copied, though)
• Picky Eater dishes can now be stored on a dish rack. All dishes on the rack have to be the same type
• Descriptions of some appliances have been improved to show their process speeds
• Customers who are going to buffets will wait a bit even if someone else takes the item they wanted
• Customers who are at buffets and only have their order partially served (such as not getting their side, or only getting some of their tacos) will wait at the buffet for a bit in case the rest of the order comes
• Crates (and plants) that arrive in the lobby when you have no space are now placed into an inbox pile. You can take and place them from this pile to get access to them

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where two portioners trying to act on the same thing at the same time would cause one to wait a frame (this means two portioners pointed at the same sink will fill pots correctly)
• Fixed a bug where smart grabbers wouldn’t always grab correctly if they were grabbing from another grabber
• Fixed a case where two dishes could overlap in the lobby
• Performance improvements throughout the game
• Fixed dishes with less-than-default eating times not applying reliably
• Fixed a bug with text disappearing on the endgame screen
• Fixed a bug where delivering extras to a customer would reset their eating time
• Fixed missing text for Dish Cabinet reward screen
• Fixed a bug with buffets and sundaes where multiple customers in a group ordered the same thing and would sometimes get stuck
• Fixed a bug where saved resolutions would not be loaded correctly
• Fixed a bug where high-tier franchises involving Sundaes could sometimes have lots of copies of the Sundaes card which would eventually make it impossible to franchise them. This bug could make the game crash on load in extreme cases; these fixes should make the game load again correctly, but if not please let us know and we can manually fix your saves if the game is still not loading
• Fixed achievement count being wrong in some cases
• Fixed bins emptying into your hands if you ran into range with the button held
• Fixed a crash when leaving a lobby shortly after it loaded
• Fixed a bug with Nut Roast visual not updating when split

New Dish: Tacos

• The long-requested tacos have finally arrived in a Dish Cabinet (more about that later) near you
• Using the new Taco Tray, create up to four tacos at once. And you’ll need to be quick about it, because each customer will be ordering multiple
• Start simple with a plain meat taco, and build up to four different toppings. There’s unlimited 15 different variants for customers to order!

Advanced Build Mode

• If you’ve ever wanted to spontaneously turn into a crane, then we’ve got excellent news for you.
• Advanced Build Mode allows you to become a crane and move over obstacles while building your restaurant in prep time
• During preparation time, Advanced Build Mode lets you pick up and rotate objects, just like a person. The only difference is you’re a crane.
• Your crane can fly over objects and walls making rearranging your food factory restaurant a breeze. Never get stuck three-conveyors-deep again.
• Cranes are for everyone*, and everyone* can use their cranes at once (*you must be level 6 or higher to ride your crane)
• Control your crane with your keyboard or controller, just like your person!

Dish Cabinet

• When you first started building restaurants two years ago, there weren’t so many things to choose from. Now there are 15 starting dishes to unlock, and it’s hard to find the ones you like
• With this update, you can start your restaurants with whichever dish you want using the Dish Cabinet in your headquarters
• Available once you’ve unlocked every dish

Leftover Bags

• Sick of filthy customers making a mess all over the place while they eat? Hand out this new consumable to your customers to politely (but firmly) request that take their food home and finish eating somewhere where it isn’t your job to clean up after them
• Alternatively, get ahead of the queues by handing them out as soon as you serve your food and enjoy a moment of peace before the next wave of leisurely eaters arrives. Giving a leftover bag to a customer will cause them to immediately finish eating their current dish
• As an added bonus, even the pickiest of eaters will scrape everything off their plates and into the bag! They might hang around for dessert, though

Splits Self-Service

• When Briony and Kirsty first streamed PlateUp as part of TinyTeams 2021, their restaurant was shut down because they tried to serve one customer an entire pot of carrot soup
• As part of the celebration of TinyTeams 2024 (and not just as a lucky coincidence), customers will now scoop their own carrot soup straight from the pot
• You can now serve customers any splittable food (which doesn’t require a plate, they’re not monsters) by placing the whole thing directly onto their table

Extra Helpings

• Doughnuts can no longer burn
• Improves icons for appliances which look the same (e.g. consumable providers like napkins)
• Tables and mops can now be re-upgraded to change which upgrade they have (like research desks)
• Customer orders have been made visually larger to be easier to see on smaller screens
• Colourblind labels added to salads, pizzas, ketchup and mustard
• Rotating will now stop you from being ready, to prevent cases where you could accidentally rotate yourself into a stuck position
• Prevent things being highlighted when the game is paused and the player tries to move
