Kitchen Confidential #2 - Blueprints!

Automachef

Welcome to Automachef, a resource management puzzler where you design kitchens, program machinery and watch your genius come to life! It’s time to engineer tomorrow’s kitchen, today!

Hello fellow humans, Welcome to the second Kitchen confidential! This time we’re taking a look at how ‘Blueprints’ play a role in Automachef and the ways in which they can be implemented by our players. [h1][b]Blueprints - Taking your creations forward![/b][/h1] Picture the scene: You’ve just created a wondrous kitchen, comprising of multiple machines all working in unison, programmed to perfection! But wait, you’ve just finished the level, will your hard work go to waste as you’re forced to start anew in the next kitchen? [b]NO![/b] Blueprints will allow you to save copies of an individual machine, groups of machines and complex (or simple) set-ups to use in the level you created them in and beyond in other stages and modes. The best bit? Blueprints not only save the layout of your machines but also their settings, connections and cables! When used correctly this is a game changer, allowing you to not only save time in later levels, but innovate on your previous builds and create signature set-ups as perfect your tried and tested designs as you progress through the game. [h1]Making your Blueprints[/h1] Like what you see and want to turn it into a Blueprint? All you’ll need to do is head to the Blueprints tab in the Parts list and select “New Blueprint”. You’ll then be able to draw a marquee around any of the machines you’d like to include in your new Blueprint or simply click on them! Once everything you want added is selected just press ENTER and name your new blueprint.

[h1]Second serving[/h1] Now you know the important bits about creating Blueprints you’ll be in a good position come July 23rd! We’ll be releasing another Kitchen Confidential later this week where we’ll be revealing more details about our Steam Workshop integration, as well as how you’ll be able to further build upon your Automachef experience!
