Let's Get Cooking!
Posted by Staff on 11 Mar 2017, 10:11 pm
Hi all, I am super excited to be here today in this lovely new News Post! Awesome things are happening and I hope you’ll stick with me through all this info because it’s going to be worth the read, I promise!
Cooking Career
It’s been in the works for a while but we are very happy to finally be releasing a new career for your Villagers to play around with. Cooking functions very similarly in mechanics to the other recipe using careers so there shouldn’t be any big surprises there. We’re hoping this will be an easy to use and fun new addition to the current Villager career set. And I am sure you’re wondering what exactly is going to happen with all this food you’ll be making...Well just keep on reading and we’ll get to all that.
Recipes and general supplies can be found in the new cooking supply shop. And of course for those village specific recipes you will need to do a bit of exploring and battling to gather important ingredients. So when you are ready to get started head on over to the Cozy Cookery and stock up!
Furvilla Feast
For those with a more competitive nature, the first function food items will have is for the Furvilla Monthly Feast! The Feast is a eating contest that will occur every month and users across the site will be working hard to reach those coveted top 10 slots. But never fear because in the end, everyone that participates will win a prize of some kind so come on and join in the fun! Check out the link below for more information and a look at the Leader Board.

Furvilla Food Drive
The second use of the new food items is a bit more generous in nature and all about helping out your village! Donating food to the local Food Drive will earn your village points and at the end of the month, the winning village’s occupants will earn a temporary extra worker slot for the whole next month. So get involved, help out your village, donate to keep all those extra mini pets and wandering villagers fed! Click the link below to head on over to the Food Drive.
Food Drive
General Info
-Each type of food item has a different point value.
---Soup = 2 points
---Appetizer = 4 points
---Salad = 6 points
---Entree = 8 points
---Dessert = 10 points
- Food items expire 2 weeks after they are crafted (this is to discourage hoarding and to try and keep things as fair as possible)
-Feeding your villager has no effect on anything but your eating contest score, which means choosing to not feed your villagers has no ill effects on your game play. This feature is purely for fun.
-If you live in a smaller village please don’t worry about your chances of winning in the Food Drive, scoring will be influenced by populations as well to give all villages a fair shot if they work hard.
We will be shooting to have a full Knowledge Base article up for this career soon and in the meantime the Staff is always happy to do their very best to answer any questions and listen to any concerns that you may have.

N...Nevermind, I see it's going up in number.
So...66 points and you get all the bunnies? Is it that simple? Or am I about to get hit with a reality brick.
The food bundles are just way too expensive, iv been saving up my FC for some time now to switch to a new village soon & ended up burning through a good chunk of it to make just 1 Baked Furlaska....
I like how this gives another use for the tokens, although it will make it even harder to get tokens from other villages. I've already started cooking something!
Yay I even already have a cook!
So basically only three villagers a month can actually benefit from the cooking career. And with the top players already having hundreds of points there's no point in anyone else even playing.
I had thought that the foods would be like costumes, and give temporary buffs to villagers.
Force feeding your villagers for rewards okie
I really love the idea of cooking career, but I also love how the NPC shops allow you to barter and change their prices regularily. Kitchen wont barter, such a strickt salesperson that grocery shopkeeper xÞ
bit of a stupid question...Do the 'bundles' from the cooking store expire, or is it just the foods made from them? Also, I'm assuming the 'platter' is the "container," and so also doesn't expire?
While I like the idea of the cook... I kind of wish we'd have made the pets that the AH'ers actually help out or something... But still. Yay cooking! :D
