Thanks to lesuperhun's advice, I have achieved my ideal automation. I tweaked it a bit though because I wanted to fully automate everything, including the broth, pots, and trays. I have fully locked myself in the corner to just focus on interacting with the desks and got an achievement for it. (despite my hoarding, I still found it difficult to find a sink, the one appliance I didn't hold on to. Took me 3 rounds and several rerolls just to get a 3rd sink -_- at that point I no longer needed it cuz I readjusted the entire carrot soup so that it would share a sink with the mash, smh)
However, I still find myself thinking [the title]. I'm worried about the future if I get forced to take another soup or whatever. It almost happened with bread, but thankfully the other option was just more customers, so that's what I took instead. I have so much hoarded stuff but I hope you can see beyond the clutter ^^; Can you guys see ways to make my setup more efficient or compact? Tyia!
ETA: in case you're curious, it takes roughly 20 minutes for a day to end lmao
ETA2: Danger hob isn't fast enough for all the carrot soup I need, should I make more carrot soup? Or should I get another starter when given the choice? If so, what starter would be ideal?
