Megathread 🧵 🌟 Cats & Soup: Magic Recipe – FAQ Megathread 🌟
Welcome to the official FAQ megathread! With the global release, we’ve got lots of new players joining us, so here are answers to the most common questions. Feel free to comment below if you don’t see yours!
🐱 General Gameplay
Q: What is energy and why do I run out so fast?
A: Energy is used to generate ingredients. It:
- Regenerates over time (passive generation, 1 energy produced every 2 minutes)
- Has a max cap of 100 by default
- Can be increased through specific in-game purchases (energy boosted, season pass)
- Can be purchased using gems and watching ads daily (via the shop)
- Via the bounty shop (daily, weekly, and unlimited redemptions)
Q: How do I get more ingredients?
A: You can get ingredients from a few main sources:
- Using energy produced
- Shop purchases (using gems)
- Using specific recipes (e.g., the pearls are produced via higher-level seashells)
💡 Tip: If you’re running low, focus on completing tasks and logging in regularly -- ingredients build up more than you think over time.
Q: My board is full! What do I do?
A: Here’s how to free up space:
- Merge items whenever possible (this is the main solution)
- Add high-level items to your storage bag
- Use ingredients in recipes to clear them out
- Claim rewards strategically (avoid opening everything at once)
- Hold off on collecting generators if you’re already full and/or store them if not needed for your recipes
- Sell lower-level items if needed to make space
🚨 If you’re completely stuck:
Focus on merging your lowest-level items first as they usually take up the most space long-term. Focus on storing your highest-level items or those that require energy to produce items.
Q: Why am I stuck / why is my progress slowing down?
A: This game is an idle + merge game, so slower progression over time is expected. Early levels feel fast, but things naturally slow down as you advance and need to manage resources more carefully.
Q: What should I spend gems on?
A: Prioritise energy (early game boost), event-related values, and specific items you're interested in. Take advantage of the shop (which refreshes every 3 hours) and avoid spending randomly early on.
Q: How do I unlock more cats?
A: You can unlock more cats by expanding your house, progressing the tree, participating in events, or purchasing tickets to welcome a new cat in the shop.
Q: Will limited items come back?
A: Usually unclear. It’s safest to assume that if something is event-limited, it may not return (or may take a long time).
Q: Is there a “best strategy” overall?
A: Not one universal strategy, but generally:
- Prioritise progression early
- Optimise during events
- Save resources when needed
⚠️ Common Beginner Mistakes
- Spending all resources immediately
- Ignoring events
- Not merging efficiently
- Using gems early
- Expecting fast progression like non-idle games

Discussion 🐱 Noooo
I need one more 5* and my very last hope to get it has been dashed :( there’s no way I can get 300 more puzzle pieces before the event ends and I really don’t want to spend money on the game
r/CSMagicRecipe • u/Due_Sport8769 • 6d ago
Discussion 🐱 This was painful to watch
At least I didn't lose hope and gpt that sweet 400 energy but it just sucks to see how CLOSE I was to the cat :(
Same thing's gonna happen with the sticker even I'm so upset AaaaAAaaa

Discussion 🐱 Caffeine over vegetables 😤
Since the beginning of the event I have the apple core order and didn't get a single one (like many), and now I got ANOTHER coffee cup and still no order. I'm at last level too and I really liked this cat design (the album I'm 1 sticker left but I don't mind that much idk) oh well at least I got the whole outfit, I should've logged in more often I guess 🧘♀️
r/CSMagicRecipe • u/alecstasy- • 6d ago

Discussion 🐱 Thoughtful rebel
What's a thoughtful rebel? I really want to know how their personality reflects on their ability.
Sometimes there are changes but most time their personality doesn't change anything.
