This is a review of the scenario. I will point out some things that irritated me, but I have no ill will against the creator. If you have difficulties receiving critique, please do not read the rest of this post. Again, I do not want to attack the creator in any way, but only give constructive feedback, on what could be done better. Also, some spoilers to the solution might be present:

To be honest, I am a bit confused by this scenario. While I certainly like the concept of having to build something in a tight budget (as can be seen in my own workshop submissions), this budget seems to be too easy to manage since there is only one very simple dish to be made, and for some reason some unlocked technology is more expensive than the budget allows (e.g. AC-16) which is severely limiting the options on which devices can be tried to find a solution.

Part 2/2:
Also confusing to me is, that the very most basic version to make this dish already gives you 100% efficiency, even if you put everything in fast mode (which is not needed, normal speed gets the same result). Which brings me to the next point, in the scenario description the creator mentions “(99% Efficient)”. Maybe I just interpreted this wrong and the creator meant that in order to count this scenario as a success you need to achieve at least 99% but I understood it as 99% Efficiency is the maximum you are able to achieve, but as stated above it is very easy to reach 100%. One thing that bugged me personally (but might not be a problem for anyone else), is that you cannot complete the scenario without failing to deliver some dishes, which directly confronts my personal need to never fail a dish and don’t let any dish spoil.
I would rate this 2/5 Stars.
