@n.alsiddiqi - Painting is working just fine, make sure you're combining 2 halves to make a full egg.

we are unable to paint, my child is crying how am i supposed to do this

@ThatsSoGallistra You need to combine 2 halves to make a full egg

I can't paint the eggs. I do the melted chocolate, mold them, freeze them, but no matter which way I try, I can't paint the eggs.

Thanks @MissMonica. You are right. I was trying to painting one half of the chocolate egg, and that's why it didn't work. It's been a year I hadn't played this mod, and I forgot about that.

@The Cutest Elemental~ I hope that solves your egg painting problem as well.

@The Cutest Elemental~ I have the same problem as well. Last year, when the mod first came out, I had no problem at all. But few days ago, I was able to pull out "globes" of colours but unable to paint the eggs.

Seems liek paintign is broken...

I was having an issue in my run where we would get only the easter card every day on a turbo run. We kept choosing another food and would still get the card the next day. Im not sure if you could implement a setting under mod preferences to adjust the probability of getting the card?

Oh, and during one run, we had a Colorblind person. While he could see the letters above the small eggs, he couldn't make out which paint is which color, so he couldn't really help making the eggs. The Big Eggs also don't have the letters. Would it be possible to have a menu option to add letters to the Big Eggs and to the Paint?

The second run we DID get a Restaurant Type card. Not sure what happened the first run.

It's cool that you're looking to revisit the mod! I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for all your work!

Also, would it be possible to improve the details on the recipe cards slightly? There are two things that we initially struggled with, and it took use quite a bit to figure out how it worked. Whenever new people joined the kitchen, they also struggled with it, until we explained:

- For the Chocolate Eggs, it's unclear that you need to combine two halves into a full egg. It looks like you simply grab an egg from the tray, but when you try to color it, nothing happens. It took a while before we found out by chance that we needed to combine two egg halves into an egg before we could color them.

- For the Hot Cross Buns, it's unclear that you need to drop an entire stick of butter on it. Grabbing butter from the cabinet with a Hot Cross Bun in your hand doesn't work. It's also possible to portion the Butter, which is not what you want, either. (Though it would make sense to use a portion of butter rather than an entire butter stick).

Overall, the idea is pretty cool, and the eggs, map and children are pretty cute!

However, we did have a few balance concerns that make Easter maps with Easter Eggs much more difficult than other maps. "Customers can order up to three times" is pretty big, especially in combination with "Customers can change their order".

It's all fine and dandy when all you're serving are chocolate eggs, but it's fairly easy to pick up a Starter and a Dessert, and then you can have Customers ordering up to 9 times. That's still not a big deal if you have enough tables to seat everyone, but the moment you don't, it becomes almost purely RNG whether you can make it through the day or not.

If you get lucky, and the first groups only request one starter and one main, it's fairly easy to survive the day, but if you get unlucky, and the first groups request three starters, three mains and three desserts, there's nothing you can do, you're doomed!

Would it be possible to convert the Eggs and the Hot Cross Buns into Desserts, and have the Restaurant only serve Desserts, similar to how Coffee and Cakes work? Then you can still have three courses due to the Easter Theme Card, but it can't grow out to a whopping nine courses. It also feels a bit unthematic to serve the Easter Eggs with Sides like Mashed Potatoes.

In addition, would it be possible for Easter maps to start with a regular bin, like Turbo maps? With the amount of Egg Shells that need to be thrown out, starting with a bigger bin would be a tad more forgiving.

Overall, I've played Easter Map + Eggs a few times, and it was fun, but it quickly becomes excruciatingly hard once you pick up starters and/or desserts. Unless you play a huge kitchen and loads of tables, it makes the game kind of impossible.

Heya @Thels,

Thank you for the in depth review on the mod! I plan to revisit this mod in the near future to get it ready for next Easter, so I will have all your points in my list!

A few more things we noticed:
- You start with Yellow Dye, but it's only used in combination with Purple Dye, which is locked behind a card. Perhaps it makes more sense to make the card for Yellow and Purple Dye together, so you don't have a useless counter until then? This would also mean that in the tutorial section in the HQ you can actually walk into and out of the kitchen.
- When we didn't have the Easter Egg food enabled (playing Pork on Country, for example), we kept getting Easter Egg Baskets on the Blueprint Desks quite often. It would be nice if those only appeared if you got the Big Egg card.
- The Easter Egg Recipe appears as a Card midrun when running other food. It would be nice if the Easter Egg Recipe can only appear as a Card on Autumn/Lake, like how the Vanilla Base Recipes and most other Modded Base Recipes work.

It's a fun mod! However, we noticed two more things:
1) There's no Restaurant type card, like Formal or Exclusive. Is that on purpose? Could be another mod bugging out.
2) We got a lot of other recipes, including mains, sides and starters. I think it would be more fun if it was like the Coffee Shop or Bakery, where you only really get that stuff. However, the first main we got was Egg Tart. Could it be that mod's fault?

Also, it seems to give you Purple Dye when you choose the Zapper card, even though you don't have Purple Dye yet.

Is it intended that the Daily and Weekly map are replaced by Easter Maps?

Update : This will be fixed in the next KL update

Hey there @Rossi & @Rishain
Thanks for letting me know about the breakage, I'll have a look into what caused it.

yeah the kitchen lib update broke this mod

After theKkitchen Lib update (10.06) , the screen stays black after starting the game
(you can't see any rooms, but you can call up the menu with esc).

@amatthewstam Please refer to the Bug Tracker above.

On a separate note, we're seeing the same behavior as CactusCooler. Customers in other maps are ordering 3x when not using the Easter egg map.

Sounds great on the color blind mode. Looking forward to it

ok thank you

@BellaCat No they're not. This is to prevent mold duplication.

Are the freezers supposed to save the chocolate on the molds if one was in it?

If possible is it available to remove the Easter setting from the event maps spot and have them cycle like country, city , etc

Figured out the big baskets and now I don't mind the jumbo eggs. You can carry 3 things in the baskets so that actually kinda nice. Hate it when a customer changes their mind after ordering a jumbo egg, but that's just the game play. LOL

@amatthewstam There is colorblind implemented, but KitchenLib has a bug preventing it at the moment.

it will be fixed on the next KL update.

Would be great to add a color blind mode to this.

Would be nice if the description for the jumbo eggs explains that you'll need the baskets to lift them. They are hard to do with the tray stand. Might not have picked it if we'd known.

@Cactus Cooler Interesting, I'll have a look into it.

seen alot of people in chats ask about hot cross buns "cut bun then cook bun add full stick butter and serve"

I was not, I had a save for the pizza before adding the mod. We did a run through with the Easter eggs on the Easter theme. Then loaded back to our Pizza map and they started ordering 3 times.

@Cactus Cooler were you on the Easter theme setting?

One issue I noticed was when I had this MOD installed and I got the AYCE card on a non Easter run. They would order Pizza up to 3 times as well. Not sure if this is intended or not.

@StarFluxGaems Ah, okay. You start with it, which is why I'd thought it might be a bug. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

@Chimerat Yellow dye is only used in one egg, and it's alongside the Purple Dye card.

Has anyone gotten any orders that use the yellow dye?

I will be updating the recipe text upon next update :)

Hi! Great mod. I would definitely ask that you update the language of the Easter egg recipe though. Melt chocolate, place in mold and freeze. Portion twice to make a full egg, then interact with two different colors to finish.

@moldorm tysm!!

@Sniket it's a way to use them in a recipe you can get

@StarFluxGames sorry, it's just that i don't know english very well, so i'm having to use google translator. "Colored pasta" I meant with the colored eggs, I don't know what the right name for it is-

I am wracking my brain on this one. There is a red and white egg with an electricity symbol above it. What do I do with it?

@_Gigi196_ Colored Pastas?

Figured it out. After you melt the chocolate, put it into the molding tray, and then freeze it.. you have to interact with the tray twice to make one full size egg, then interact with two different colors to finish.

how i do the eggs? I understood that I can melt the chocolate and put it in the egg pan, but I can't understand what I should do with the colored "pastas". I try to interact with them with everything, but to no avail!
