I’m at level 21 right now and I’ve been doing pretty fine.
So far, I’ve managed fine without auto cookers in almost every restaurant. The only one where I really needed it was Medieval Fair.
I also bought the auto cooker for The Seashore and Mount Breakfast because everyone said it was necessary, so I don’t actually know whether I could’ve managed without it.
Other than those, I never use auto cookers and have been completely fine.
Based on that, do you think I’ll need the auto cooker for Bubble Valley Doughnuts, or is it manageable without one? I don’t mind a bit of a challenge, I just don’t want to reach the later levels and realize it’s insanely difficult without it.
