Yes, I know, I needed to do this ages ago. The Widget Factory is
gone, despite our complaining. We're stuck with the Sweets Factory. So,
to make the best out of a bad situation, I will present this tips
volume to help you get the most out of it. (Note, this guide will
replace the Widget Factory guide in previous versions of my tips.)
Before starting to bake, you need to know there are tricks to
getting more money out of this: having a lot of friends (preferably
over 50 in your crew), having a LOT of time on your hands, and timing
everything exactly.
Friends: For the first aspect mentioned above, you NEED
friends. Each baked good gets a bonus when taken out of the oven, based
directly on how many friends you have. These are in addition to the
actual amount you make for baking it. Different bonus amounts are given
for having 2, 5, 10, 20, 35, or 50 members in your crew.
Invested Time: As I mentioned, you must have time on your
hands to actually make out good. Basically, even though it may not seem
like it, using the cheapest recipe on schedule multiple times a day
will yield you more coins than saving up for the most expensive
recipes. So, to make out best, getting in every 4 hours to bake
chocolate chip cookies will be most beneficial. (I will go more into
depth on how this works out.)
The very first time you go in, you will be given a few ovens with
freebies to start you off. But let's veer away from newbie stuff and
talk about your average visit to the Sweets Factory. Generally, if you
time everything right, each time you come in you will have a bunch of
ovens with baked goods already done.
To give you a "sweet" start to your day, YoVille gives you a bonus of 75-100 YoCoins the first time you bake each day.
So, first you will remove your baked goods from the ovens. This can
be done by simply clicking on each oven. Your avatar will move to the
oven and remove your item, and you will be paid. (Honestly, ignore the
buttons on the bottom, because you really don't need them!)
Once your baked goods are all removed, you will need to clean out
your ovens. Again, go around the room and click on each oven. You will
be charged 10 YoCoins to clean each one (the main reason people hate
this...having to PAY to work), but luckily you will gain 1 YP (YoPoint)
for each one.
Once clean, click on the first oven, and a recipe book will come up.
Select the recipe that fits your time schedule, and that will be baked.
Now you can go around to each oven, clicking on each, and it will
continue to bake the item you picked for the very first oven. Again,
you need to pay for the recipe you select, so choose wisely. But, you
will also earn 1 more YP for each oven baked in.
The last thing to note, is that the times in the recipe guide below
have to pretty much be stuck to! If you do not take out your sweets on
time, they will burn! (And you will lose all the money you put into
cleaning the ovens and paying the recipe price.) You do have a grace
period of the same amount of time that it takes to bake an item. So, if
you are baking cookies, it takes 4 hours to bake and you have another 4
hours grace period.
This last section will discuss the recipes, and what you can
actually make per day with each one. You need to pick recipes based on
your schedule. In other words, if you bake before you go to your real
life job, and you know you will be away from your computer at least 8
hours, baking cookies is not a smart idea. You should pick something
that takes longer to bake, and will be less likely to burn. The totals
below do NOT include your daily freebie earnings of 75-100 YoCoins.
