Open guideWhat changed in Update #2?
The October 2 patch published a ten-step staff priority order, changed cooking to use older ingredients first, added the Lighting Details control, and documented a fast-travel performance workaround.
- Managers deliver and buy ingredients after several meal-service jobs.
- Lowering Lighting Details deactivates more distant lights.
- For FPS loss after fast travel, save at the new location and reload.
What Update #1 already changed
The October 1 patch improved Manager ingredient-buying behavior and the staff order workflow. It also fixed a camera issue that could make performance worsen after repeated save loads.
