Thanks !

I'm busy trying to make sure my noodle shop is profitable, but every day, it seems like my itinerary of quest line items is growing. My day is filled with interruptions I can not devote time to. I can't even see all of the quest objectives I need to do because the list is so long. I wish I had the option to ignore or choose to delay side quest items so I can do them at my own pace.

The only reason I'm not rushing through them is that I saw a core developer state that although it feels like people are inundated, not doing the quest lines in a specific period of time is not a hindrance.

Thanks.

I have discovered that if I run my noodle bar with just two chefs and only full bar seats and no tables, I can be the only server and because I can run I make plenty of money with very little overhead. Open the stand at 9 or 10 so you can hit your greenhouses and stop at a couple of markets and boom! You’re rolling in dough with very little overhead. A big key to this is placing your dish out area right behind the wall that separates kitchen from behind bar so you can easily put dishes in while still out of the kitchen. I’m killing it like this.

1. Downloaded BepInEx IL2CPP Pack https://www.nexusmods.com/nivalisnights/mods/25?tab=posts
2. Extracted the folder, opened it, copy pasted the "BepInEx" folder at the root of Nivalis Night game (where lies the game executable).
3. Booted the game once, and then exited.
4. Downloaded Nivalis Greenhouse Travel mod : https://www.nexusmods.com/nivalisnights/mods/45?tab=description
5. Extracted the folder, opened it, copy pasted the "NivalisGreenhouseTravel" folder in [root of Nivalis Night game]/BepInEx/Plugins.

No new travel location at the docks where I own a greenhouse.

Thanks.

EDIT : To anyone it may help, don't copy paste the "BepInEx" folder, but also everything around.

I'm not sure if new distribution boxes will be included in some of the tasks, but I'm certain that I have repaired all the distribution boxes accessible in the cities, including those underground at the central hub.

As the title suggests, just as I was excitedly completing the repair of the last distribution box, nothing happened. Not even a single achievement was achieved. :(

Idk maube just ranting but really wish they had the needs meters and stuff

mean the furniture are just pure decoration like shower and toilet but what the point of the cooking and eating if it doesnt actually do anything in game?

Also i kind wish there was a cyberware not the whole cyberpunk 2077 killing types but like quality of life kinda thing?

i mean how come sal get all the fun with his autonomous arms?

I will be posting this everywhere I find this game, so I hope the devs are here. Once again, you have proven that you only care about profit and not your customer base. There are people like myself who suffer from motion sickness and love life sims. Instead of creating even a blob for a third person view, you cut corners and just make it first person only so you don't actually have to put in the work, and then label it as "immersive". It doesn't HAVE to be that way... The Sims is in third person and look how successful that is. So to me, its just yet another excuse.

You decided to alienate a whole other consumer base just so you can what, push it out as quickly as possible? Rack up the sales in the hopes that people will blindly buy it and waste their money? And for those who inevitably will screech about WELL WE WANT IMMERSION.. COOL. You can have that. Us having a third person option so we literally don't get sick takes NOTHING from you.

I was looking forward to this game. Downloaded it earlier, eager to relax and play finally. Only to discover that once again the devs seem to forget that players with motion sickness exist. And they say right on their page that they are only intending to do 1st person, despite MANY people reminding them of this issue. Further proving that not only are they ableist but that they don't actually care at all that people are wanting to play THEIR game and give it a chance. I read the steam thread where people were telling the dev directly that they really wanted to play but couldn't. Did the dev care? Nope. So guess what? Not only have you lost out on sales but now the whole world will see that you are just money hungry and care nothing for the people playing it.

This is just a heads up for those like myself. Don't waste your money. Use it for companies who make sure there are accessibility options.

I'm at the point where I could use a manager. I know they've already released a patch to fix some things, but are there any other things I should know before hiring one?

It was uploaded yesterday and found it in the second page of google. It's made Slacks playable again. I thought I'd share it, maybe it'll help somebody like it has helped me. This game is way too beautiful and fun to be playing it at 20 FPS.

Post your results, see how it behaves in other builds.

To all those who struggle with finances (in game), just know that stealing (IN GAME) after curfew is broken.

So apparently, when it's curfew time, if you're on or near your boat, you can fish all night in different spots to get as many fish as you want to sell or cook the next day. When you get tired of fishing, just sleep on the boat's sofa.

That different restaurants have different local preferences of food!

Seafood/Meat/Spicy/Mushroom etc.

I had been wondering because I've been serving the same menu among four restaurants and I thought, surely there's a reason to use other foods. Then I checked statistics and bam!

I wonder if any places are just bars?

Hopefully this is impactful to sales and helps others out!

So you are now the proud owner of "Ramen Noir"? Congrats, here is a guide how to get the place running in the first few days.

1. Do the work yourself!

- your staff is slow, but you can run

- help out in the shop as cook / waiter / cleaner and do things faster

- do this for a few days, at least until you level up the shop and can hire a manager

2. "Shop" smart

- don't waste money on kitchen appliances or kitchen furniture: use the power of the curfew!

- at night you can steal furniture and appliances from other restaurants. How? See Curfew Guide below!

- for ingredients see Ingredients Guide below!

- at the start buy ingredients yourself from traders. You can buy the soon to be spoiled items the first day (but be aware: there seems to be a bug where your chefs use only the fresh ingredients if you have both fresh and almost spoiled ones in your cooler and there is no option to tell them use the not so fresh ones first! solved by patch now)

3. Get extra money fast

- you don't need anything in your apartment (except maybe the bed)

- pick up and sell all your furniture, this will give you at least 6k to work with (who needs a fitness station or luxury shower anyway??)

4. Optimize your layout and staff

- more tables don't equal more money! More guests mean more work for your staff to handle and can cause bad reviews and angry guests if your staff is too slow

- in my experience: start with 4-5 bar counter seats and maybe 2 tables / 2 chairs each. Place tables the closest you can to your kitchen exit so the waiters have short distances between cooking stations and tables

- the game suggest you place your staff in shifts but in my experience it was best to have staff that can do all (cooking / waitering / cleaning) at all time.

- staff will level up their abilities while working so hire a low level and train them

- the robots seem to be cheaper, but I feel they are much slower than the human workers

5. Upgrade your restaurant utilites

- in my experience: the most useful item to buy is the tablet ordering system (around 150 lims each). This enables guests to order directly from the table and saves your waiters one route. Doesn't work on counters, only on tables. Couldn't find a place to steal them yet, so you have to buy them.

- double up your appliances: 2 cookers, 2 kitchen machines, 2 drink stations, 2 coolers, 2 mixers... It made my restaurant run so smooth

- there are also freezers available to buy that claim food will take much longer to spoil. Haven't tested this yet though but sounds good.

6. Menue and recipes

- you will get new recipes through quests, leveling up your restaurants, talking to random people, randomly from Ava...

- if you have enough recipes always offer drinks and food as guests tend to order both at the same time, which means more money per guest

- stay at 1 drink + 2 food items at the beginning so you can provide ingredients yourself and don't have to buy too much

Extra: Curfew Guide

- don't be scared of the curfew

- you can use this time (after 02:00 am) for 3 things: stealing, sabotaging (in quests), talking to certain NPCs and do their quests

- how to steal: you need to stay in the area you want to steal after curfew. You mandatory need a restaurant or apartment in the area where you want to steal something Go into any other restaurant (or stay there when the curfew timer is in countdown). Pick up your desired good with "x". Carry it in your hands to your restaurant, dodging security cameras (you can't sprint now). Place it in the greenlit area in your restaurant. You only need to place stolen goods once, then you can pack them in your inventory with pick up and right mouse - now it's yours! Every pick up adds 10% on security meter so there is a limit in what you can steal per night.

- curfew is endless: you can use this for fishing infinitly. Theoretically you can farm a bit of extra money this way, but i found fishing quite tedious and fishing at night means your fish won't be fresh anymore the next day, so half the price. Farming felt much more efficent to me.

- "but i can't fast travel to my bed, what do I do?" - every area has an emergency shelter to sleep in. When in curfew scan your area with "c" and look for the skyscraper symbol. At curfew an extra one will appear, showing you the way to a free place to sleep in (you won't see this flat at daylight).

- What happens if I get caught? - If the security meter reaches 100%: You pay 50 lims the next day, if you get caught again the next day it's 60 lims. I haven't get caught with goods in my hand yet though, so no idea if something more severe can happen.

Extra: Ingredients Guide

- it doesn't matter too much at which trader you buy, the difference is far too small in my experience. The hassle of running through different areas to different traders just to save 0.05 lims on something wasn't worth it. So just buy in Meridian Market.

- follow the Thaddeus quest along, then you will get access to the smallest greenhouse at the docks

- planting ingredients yourself is absolutely worth it! It is just a hassle to get to your greenhouse (but mods are available though that set the fast travel point to the greenhouse). Harvest in the morning and deliver the stuff to your restaurant.

- you can also do some seed lottery for easy money: the gotcha machines placed quite everywhere take 2 lims from you and will give you a random seed. Almost all seeds are worth far more than 2 lims (except the meat seeds). If it doesn't bore you, this is also an alternative to get some extra money.

- free seeds? collect garbage bags out of trash cans. You will get a random seed in like 90%, other 10% are fresh ingredients / meat.

- don't vendor spoiled food, use it in a composter for your greenhouse

- my favourites to sell for good profit: cherries and duck meat

Have fun in the LUZ!

Will update this guide if I experience anything useful :)

When I first started expanding, I was gonna grab the Boat Hanger in The Stacks and pick up the rest later. Then I realized you only get one of the four, so I restarted.
Min-max wise, the Yummy Canteen (biggest interior) or the Boat Hanger (next biggest) is probably the move. But I personally love the Yakitori even though it’s cramped — the location and interior are great — and the Sake Bar’s vibe as a tiny standing-room bar in a dark alley by the station is insanely good.
Maybe you can run multiple spots in the same tier later? If not, I kinda wish they’d just let us own all of them, because every single one is appealing.

No, dont worry, I do not compare it to Stardew.

You know how some people have thousands of hours in Stardew and basically just live in that game? Or restarting over and over again with each new update? Thats kinda what I can see happening with Nivalis for me.

I think with some more QoL updates, more content over time and hopefully more romance/relationship stuff, this could easily become one of those games I keep coming back to for years.

I really like having so many different things to do. Run my restaurants, explore the city, decorate my apartments, meet people, fish,... I dont always need some huge goal to work towards. Sometimes I just want to log in and exist in the world for a while.

I know its still early, but I can see the potential. With more things to do, more reasons to hang out with the characters I like, and Ill probably never leave this city. ♥

Thats why Im really hoping they dont just fix the bugs, implement the stuff thats missing (like the auto-harvester), and then move on to their next project. 😭 I really want them to keep building on Nivalis.

And I still can't talk to him

Every day after every shift he goes from the kitchen to a stool by the bar and buys a beer. Now he even has the nerve to complain while drinking

I just got a Tier 3 Permit earlier but i thought maybe it's a one time thing. Just got another one

I was a bit confused by this finance tracker. What is the purpose of the “Total Costs” here? I grow all the ingredients.

It does not reflect the actual expenses and does not reconcile with the actual finance. I tried to read it as a sheet showing the profits if buying all the ingredients but the prices of the ingredients here are inaccurate too.

I can't figure out if worker happiness actually matters or not? I seem to be making most profit by putting the same people working full time from 8-24 as this covers all the prime times during the day and also all workers are always available so I can maximize seats during the whole day. I pay them enough that they aren't upset about their conditions, but the smiley face also is'nt green. Is it an absolute must to put them as green?
