A small game about a Barista which wants to grow big! · By Noa3, Preggopixels

Can someone tell what the best method is?

I'm just constantly losing at chaos mode after like 40 minutes or so. It's really annoying. Does someone have any tips?

Bombrush capacity and stay ready for breaks, Ironically milky mode is probably easier in this version because milking the barista raises happiness

Don't forget you can pat her head to keep her cheery when she's having a bad mood as well

I've noticed if you take to long whilst doing it in milky mode the happiness drops like a lead balloon from overfill, I'm trying to handle it with over 2 million ml production, its better to get bad drinks made by just adding the accessory items (whipped cream, whatever is req for whatever drink) and just click until all but a tiny sliver of the req is gold so you can quickly send it out then immediately clock and hold for like the next 2 mins 

edit, also the "no milk production event" does literally nothing once you reach 2 mil, it still fills immediately


edit2, milk flooding is a thing and its game over, so this is way way harder then i anticipated, that last run was like 40 mins


edit3, I've noticed its way easier (but also takes way longer) if you stay with the basic everything (but upgrades) for a while to try to max out happiness and get some beginning cash


edit4, might just be me, but if you completely lower texture quality its a lil easier



edit5, ok, if possible try to avoid getting over 3mil ml production, it starts to increase by the millions after that



edit6, ok, once you pass 60k production, the no milk event counts like you only have like maybe 500 production, so my guess is it wasn't coded to set the production to 0, but it was programmed to subtract it by about maybe 55k and have it incapable of going under 0 (well, mostly, if you lag out the game it can sometimes jitter between -0.8 and 0, its interesting)


edit7, fixed grammar



edit8, it is possible, just immensely difficult, you really need to be as efficient as you can at all times, especially near the beginning.  i was only 20 dollars away from buying the final upgrade, I'm going to test if it is actually easier without milky


edit9, it seems like if you never make the initial purchase of the candy, then she never starts lactating, you can make as much cash as you need beforehand with simple drinks then just quickly spend it all


edit10, with the headrubbing you just barely outpace any decreasing from events so as long as you are quick and accurate it is so much easier without milky, milky is almost definitely hypothetically faster however. (if someone ever decides to speedrun this game, lol)



edit11, I am genuinely surprised anyone has completed this already, by my estimation it is going to take at least 3 more hours to complete it (maybe I'm just doing it highly inefficiently)

I didn't know you could pet her... that wasn't even in the tutorial. But in order to get Sandbox, do I need to beat the normal mode or is the Milky Mode also ok?

Just beat casual, normal, hard, and chaos mode, milky mode is optional for all.

And you can get a secret ending in Sandbox mode, though I have no clue I got it, lol

Don't buy anything but espresso and ice, Chaos mode's big earner. Buying more ingredients will just increase the complexity of the drinks without adding that much of a reward.
Keep making basic drinks and try to get the clients excited by milking the barista as much as possible so you can sell breast milk, the second highest value ingredient. During idle time, pet her. If she's getting close to overfilling, buy happiness (turns out money can really buy happiness) or increase her capacity.
Once you have ice, it's only a matter of time before you have the money needed to reach max size. Milky mode speeds the game up but you may need to buy calming tea to give yourself a little more of a buffer.

In Ultra-chaos mode you will want to always buy coffee back right after you pour it or you'll only get all milk orders and dig yourself a hole you won't be coming back out of again. Overwrite regular milk orders with breast milk and if you can't, giving out an empty cup is worth the loss of happiness if you can count your earnings on one hand. Some patience will be required and you'll want to keep petting the barista while waiting for her milk to refill. Buy the most valuable toppings and get one or two pourable ingredients so you don't need to re-buy coffee each time.

Holy banana? 3 hours? It should only take about 15-20 minutes or so.

how do you get chaos mode?
