In the next big update I want to improve AI (behavior of chefs, waitresses and bartenders) so I created this post and a thread in the game hub where I would like you to write your frustrations and wishes regarding AI only (I am reading the suggestions topic as well, I just want to make sure I don't miss something). I really love including people who play the game in the development so I thought about trying this format 🙂
Here are a few things regarding AI that I am already working on:
- Bars and kitchen counters will not be able to hold 4 waitresses
- You will be able to purchase individual waitress spots so you will be able to hire many many more waitresses without the need to have a bar or a counter. Also it will be possible to put those individual spots on floors where you only have hotel rooms
- Chef will get a priority system where you can tell each chef which food they should prepare and what is the priority of that food for them so you an make chefs with traits for desserts make only desserts and no one else 🙂
- I will remove "Floor to serve" feature. It was really confusing and I plan on making it much more clear. If someone orders a drink, then bartender from that floor will take that order. If someone orders food then chef on that floor should take the order, not from other floors. Only if you don't have a bar or kitchen should staff from other floors take orders
- Bartender will be able to pour multiple different drinks in one go. He will be able to go fill 1 mug of beer, and then go and fill 3 goblets of wine, and then bring back all 4 at once
- Chefs will get 4 smaller cauldrons instead of 1 big. That way they will be able to create a soup which will stay in cauldron for 5 servings total. That way they will not spend too much time making soups on average. Also I plan on making new upgradable props for the kitchen, for example a grill where 2 different meals an be prepared at once
- Basin and spice shelf will be usable by multiple chefs at once so it doesn't create big lines
This is it for now, but let me know here or in the pinned topic what would you like to see 🙂 My goal is to make AI that is serving more customers than the current one on average 🙂
