[h1][b]Hello chocolate enjoyers! 👋[/b][/h1] Welcome back to our fabric. Recently, we’ve taken you for a trip around the facility. Today, we’d like to focus on the core of the gameplay- completing the chocolate orders. 🍫 We’ll discuss all the machinery and available upgrades in a separate devlog because there’s a lot to talk about and it’d be a shame to not give this topic enough attention. Today, we’ll talk about the process. 📝 [h3][b]🔥 Starting fire[/b][/h3] As you know, our company uses steam to run the machinery so it’s only natural that the first step brings us to the furnace. You’ll have to start the fire to start creating steam. 💨 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44910419/6ace008c9ee3d9026d1b47d74f92ca2854f4889d.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44910419/3190a868d5ce5e719f4038db687e271678ecfa4d.png[/img] [h3][b]🤤 Making cacao mass[/b][/h3] Once you’re ready to proceed, you’ll have to visit your storage room to pick up some sugar, powdered milk, cocoa and cocoa butter. Your first creations will require you to use a simple steam stove and saucepan to create your chocolate and temper it. The first part requires precise measurement of the ingredients to assure the perfect taste. Second, on the other hand it is all about the temperature. Carefully control the temperature of the stove while stirring constantly- this will allow the chocolate to gain all the desirable features- nice crunchy texture, shine etc. In the full version there will be different kinds of chocolate, white, dark and even chocolate with filling. Later in the game you’ll unlock special machines dedicated for completing those steps- melanger and tempering machines. 🔧 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44910419/c15e554b8d9dca1b7d5fffce7576e3b60aa2f28a.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44910419/3dfb0c361861b7a71189da700f572b4ab7569697.png[/img] [h3][b]✏️ Designing shape of the chocolate[/b][/h3] Sometimes clients may ask for a simple chocolate bar, other times you’ll be required to deliver a more specific shape or even give you a free hand, allowing your creativity to bloom. Whatever you design, make sure it aligns with the wishes of your clients! 👍 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44910419/5c6ee92993dad7c16204972a7a97c6bb2e311c40.png[/img] [h3][b]👀 Forming the chocolate[/b][/h3] After the shape is decided it is time to pump the tempered chocolate mass through the forming machine to achieve the defined shape.

Just as in case of shape you’ll receive some directions in the customer’s order. There are many variables, such as color, drawings or ornaments to allow you go wild with your artistic vision as well.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44910419/2eb809e74788afea78cce16708dcc2d60ad651f1.png[/img] And that’s it. The order is prepared and ready to be sent to your customer! The more chocolate you’ll make, the more natural this process will become. After all, practice makes perfect, doesn’t it?
