Big UPDATES on 7 Nov 2009
Another big BIG UPDATES
Restaurant City is really getting more and more exciting




First, let's go through the Newsletter we have here.


Surprise~ me likey

So, here are all the UPDATED features
LIMITED Halloween Recipes 
As expected, LIMITED Halloween Recipes are now all GONE

Of course, if you have already UNLOCKED them,
they will be always there for you to keep

Fullscreen 
At last
A FULLSCREEN mode

All the while been struggling why Playfish never provides a mode so that we can see the whole restaurant..
And now, here we are
But, I guess seeing the whole restaurant in Fullscreen is just too BIG for my monitor... 
Actual size when fullscreen..
So big... 
Go to the RESCUE~! 
This IS the most excited part of all the updates this time


Visit your friends and...

PENGUINS











Wow..... 
Penguins...kinda cute~
And we're suppose to get rid of them by clicking them..
(Though if it's possible, I would like to have them without getting rid of them in my restaurant..
)
Anyway, there are 6 troubles (at the mean time) where you can help your friends to get rid of them.








Help! These PENGUINS are helping themselves to the fish!

Help! Plug these LEAKS before we're underwater!

Help! The SKUNKS are putting people off their food!

Help! These MUSHROOMS are taking over my garden!

FIRE! FIRE! Can you help me put it out?

Help! The SLEEPING BEAR is scaring away customers!

But..
They are CUUUTEE


This kind of UPDATES really made my day
It's so unexpected.

Well, you still need to get rid of them for your friends.
But, you of course are not doing it for free.
From what I've tried,
you'd get $15 by helping the first 5 friends, $10 the next 5 friends, $2 when you reached 37 friends and $1 when you reached 70 friends...
(if i'm not mistaken)
And, new
TROPHIES
due to this cute lil' trouble. 
A Friend Indeed

Fixing, Washing, Cleaning 
Now, you can fix the arcade machine, clean a plate, washing the toilet by just One Click manually
Fixing the Retro Arcade Machine

A timer will appeared once you click, on counting the time to complete. 
Fixing, Washing, Cleaning






And guess what, you can even book your time to do the job.
For example, 2 machines went down

Click on 1 broken machines, the timer starts for [Fixing].
While 1st timer started to run,
you could still click on the 2nd broken machine, and the timer set for [Waiting] until the 1st one finished fixing.

Click twice on timer [Waiting] and it'll be cancelled.
[Fixing, Washing, Cleaning] got their
TROPHIES
as well.
[Fixing Trophy]
Fixer
Repair 20 items manually
Repairman
Repair 200 items manually
Master Mechanic
Repair 1000 items manually
[Fixing Toilets]
Plumb Role
Fix 20 toilets manually
Pipe Dreams
Fix 200 toilets manually
Drain Fame
Fix 1000 toilets manually
[Clearing Plates]
Head Waiter
Clear 50 plates manually
Plate Prince
Clear 500 plates manually
Washing Machine
Clear 2000 plates manually
So, it's like we are the head of Janitor?
If we are going to aim for the trophies, I guess a janitor will not be needed so much...
But on the other hand, we can actually compete with the janitor or the waiters to see who got them fixed or cleaned first~ kinda a new type of game in Restaurant City i s'ppose..
Or you may think of a new layout which fit the current circumstances the best.
Take care of friends' garden 
Besides helping friends in settling the animal troubles, you can also help friends by helping them to water their garden.
1 click gets $1 

1 patch gets $3



The whole garden gets $27





Votes count 
Lil' bonus update
We now know how many voted for our restaurant and that means even though you got 5 Stars 



but 1 vote, it's nothing. 



That's all.
Have fun rescuing your friends restaurant

Earning extra Gourmet Points 

This is quite an update too~ 
We were never able to gain Gourmet Points even if we leave all the employees working when offline. All we can earned was just coins
$2,000 (previous).
Refer previous entry
What is Gourmet Points?
From now on, we're able to earn both COINS
and GOURMET POINTS
even if we're offline or when you are not in your restaurant (for example: when you are out visiting your friends on the street, or when you are in Re-decorate mode reconstruction your restaurant, etc).
You may want to leave your restaurant open and go offline or just leave it in the Re-decorate mode to gain both COINS and Gourmet Points without effecting the popularity.

Coins earned while you are offline used to be MAX $2,000.
However, they have changed the amount to a quite specific number..
The fewer employees you left them to work in the restaurant, the fewer COINS you'll get.
For example,
2 employees work + 6 employees rest =
4 employees work + 4 employees rest =

6 employees work + 2 employees rest =


All 8 employees work =


, which may exceed $2,000 
It's time Playfish going for some EARNING 
We never really had anything we couldn't get just from our RC coins...
but the world has changed now...
There are something that we couldn't get using RC coins now but to use Playfish Coins

(Playfish Coins = Real money)
So, let's see what we've got here..
