I encountered a following issue:

Cafe/bars/restaurants are supposed to reduce needs of residents (example: donut recipe from cafe reduces coffee consumption by 10%, chocolate by 5% and schnapps by 25%). When a residence is selected, you can see what bonuses are affecting the specific building. After loading a game, the % reduction displayed after selecting a residence corresponds to the values from the description in recipe book. However, after changing the recipe they become lower (example: donut recipe provides 7% reduction in coffee consumption, 3% in chocolate and 17% in schnapps). This also affects happiness bonus.

The exact steps that I taken were as follows:

  1. I loaded a game. The cafe was already running with donut recipe selected. I selected an investor residence next to the cafe. The bonus from donut recipe was correct (it corresponded to the values from recipe book).
  2. I changed recipe from donut to eclair. I waited for the cafe to reach the perfect productivity. I selected the same residence. The bonus from eclair recipe was not corresponding to the values from recipe book.
  3. I changed recipe back from eclair to donut. I waited for the cafe to reach the perfect productivity. I selected the same residence. The bonus from donut recipe was no longer corresponding to the values from recipe book.
  4. I restarted the game. The values were once again correct.


I attached photos of:

  1. Cafe and residence just after loading the game.
  2. Cafe and residence after first change from donut to eclair.
  3. Cafe and residence after second change from eclair back to donut.


The issue also affects bars and restaurants.

Hey there @Angelo_Blake

I have escalated this issue in a report for the team, and I appreciate you providing your save files and relevant screenshots up front!

Just to clarify, restarting the game resets the bonuses to be correct no matter which recipe is selected at the time that you restart, correct? I ask in case we need to advise people experiencing this issue on a workaround to make sure that a game restart will always fix it.

Thanks for getting back to us @Angelo_Blake.

We do indeed have your screenshots and save - @Ubi-SleepyGoat is noting that they've all been sent along to the game team to investigate.

When we hear more from them, we'll let you know!
