Why decline food gifts?
I read posts about people who decline food gifts. Why?
I mean food is always useable, because it can be served in your restaurant/bakery.
Personally, I have the opposite problem. Some neighbors are sending me weird parts that I have no idea what they are for....
Parts are for building constructible appliances which you can find in the appliance tab under the design menu and some players decline food because they want parts or have too much foodOriginally Posted by blackcat42
I know that parts are for building appliances, but I'm not going to build every appliance. Also, I only get a new appliance every 5 levels or so. So I really don't see the need for much parts.
You can store your current appliance and buy a different kind and build... Then when you master all recipes in the appliance store it and build a different appliance... I for one have at least 5 appliances of every kind is available... Some I have 10+ of but only can have 18 appliance on floor
Unless you buy more appliance slots
It is a waste for me to accept something like french toast. In just a few mins time I could make it up myself.
I prefer parts. I have 5-10 of each appliance so they are needed. Stew is they only food gift worth sending or recieving.
I too decline food. I don't understand anyone other than someone just starting out wanting food for gifts. If you collect the parts you don't have to wait for nbrs to send them to you for you to build an appliance. I've been able to on a whim, build 10 appliances without having to request any parts.
But I also think after you have been playing a while you can choose nbrs that you notice have the same style as yourself. For instance, I look for nbrs that have many of the same appliances out. If I see someone that has 5 stoves on the floor I know right off the bat that we would probably not be a good fit as nbrs. Everyone has their own playing style, so the best thing to do is accept that I think, and try to find nbrs that play similar to ones self.
blackcat, I meant to answer your question about why do people decline food and instead I went off in a whole different direction. Sorry about that, and I can tell you why I do, but I'm sure the reason is different for everyone.
First off, I don't keep tons of counters and personaly I cook the food that I feel compliments my restaurant. (other than when I'm mastering it of course..I also cook high revenue food, and I save my counters for those. And secondly, I can't get parts from anywhere other than my nbrs, where as I can cook for myself. And as for the actual declining, if you have more than 20 nbs gifting you and you prefer parts over food, you decline the food gifts to make room for the parts gifts you actually want. I would assume a food collector might do the same thing just the other way around, accepting food and declining parts..
Hope my answer is somewhat helpful.
also gifts are limited. the only food gift i send is in bakery story which is cappuccino because its 10 coins per customer and you get x50.
Sending food is insulting IMO. "Your Restaurant can't cook enough food, and your customers are crying. Let me donate some food to feed your customers"
I am at level 97, I still find I need lots of parts to stand by, with new appliances come out almost every two weeks, I still can't catch up with it, and I can never have enough parts.
Parts are always lack of, we never know what TL will come out, almost new stove comes out every forthnight. Better to have lots of parts standing by instead of waiting to "Ask Friends" or get food.
I can cook more than enough food to sell, I even throw away all those cheap $1-$2 dishes because it is blocking my income. I chould've sell them $4 per visit you see?
Food, for god's sake, you own a restaurant, you can cook food by yourself, why need others to donate you food? Don't you find it insulting? Some crazy nbrs even send French Toast! Are you kidding me? I delete those nbrs who ever send food to me, I forgive them if they are below level 30, if they are above level 30, they should know by now that Food is practically useless.
Teach them fishing is better than give them fish. Same concept applies. Give them parts so that they can fish by themselves.
