[Autumn Exclusive] Stop just clicking! Let me hold your hand and teach you how to build a cloud business empire in "Food Empire Inc"
Hello everyone! It's your old friend, Autumn, who is obsessed with various simulation management games.
Today we are going to talk about this game "Food Empire Inc". At first glance, it looks like an ordinary vegetable growing game, but I regretted it the moment I clicked that link—regretted not playing it sooner! This isn't just farming; it's clearly building a "money-printing machine" in a skyscraper!
When many friends first start, they only know how to tap the screen frantically, getting cramps in their fingers, but the money earned isn't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Don't worry, Autumn has already struggled in the clouds for a whole day and summarized a set of "anti-involution" high-efficiency strategies. Today, I won't spoil those strange crops (leaving them for you to unbox yourself); we will only talk about the hardcore money-making logic!
Phase 1: High-rises Start from the Ground (Refuse Brute Force)
As soon as you enter the game, you will see a vertical tower structure. This is much more advanced than the flat farms we usually see; we are borrowing land from the sky!
The game's economic cycle is actually a "Golden Triangle":
Left (Production): Farmers are responsible for producing crops.
Middle (Transport): The elevator is responsible for transporting crops from high floors to the first floor.
Right (Sales): Porters move goods onto the truck to turn them into money.
Autumn's Rookie Advice:
At the beginning, you must manually click these three areas to maintain operations. But this is just for you to understand the process! Never try to beat the game with hand speed. This is an Idle game; your goal is to get out of "manual mode" and shift into "automatic" as soon as possible.
Phase 2: The Magic of Freeing Your Hands—The Manager System
After playing for about 10 minutes, if you are still frantically tapping the screen, then you are an unqualified boss! We need to learn to exploit... oh no, learn to "hire" talent.
Be sure to keep an eye on the "Managers" button at the bottom of the interface.
Production Manager: Once hired, farmers will work automatically; you don't need to whip them anymore.
Elevator Manager: The elevator goes up and down automatically; say goodbye to manual control completely.
Warehouse Manager: Automatically sells goods; gold coins flow in continuously.
Autumn's Little Calculation:
Managers are also ranked! In the early stages, don't pursue expensive managers. The cheapest manager who can provide the "Show Auto" function is a good manager. With them, you can pick up your coffee and quietly watch the little people on the screen work for you.
Phase 3: Reject "Blockages", Learn to Spot Bottlenecks
This is the core part of this guide and the reason why many players "can't make money" in the mid-game!
As the floors you unlock get higher and higher (as for what grows on the high floors, hehe, climb up and see for yourself), you will find that gold growth slows down. At this time, please check your "Logistics Assembly Line".
Please remember Autumn's "Bucket Theory":
If you find goods piling up like a mountain next to the farmers, but the elevator goes up empty: It means elevator capacity is insufficient. Stop upgrading the farm and invest money in the elevator immediately!
If you find the elevator entrance bursting with goods, but the warehouse porter is moving slowly: It means the sales end is the bottleneck. Hurry up and upgrade the warehouse and porters!
If you find both the elevator and warehouse are waiting for goods: This is the right time to upgrade the farm and increase production.
Golden Rule: Always maintain Warehouse Capacity > Elevator Capacity > Farm Production. Only goods sold and turned into money are real money; what's piled up on the floors is just inventory backlog!
Phase 4: Advance to the Sky (The Joy of Blind Boxes)
What is making money for? Of course, to open new floors!
Clicking "Unlock New Floor" at the top is the most exciting moment of this game.
Autumn wants to keep you in suspense here and won't tell you exactly what is on each floor. But I can tell you responsibly:
The higher you go, the more exaggerated the unit price of the crops!
One truckload of goods you sell hard on the first floor might not be worth as much as one fruit sold by the boss on the top floor. Therefore, the resource tilting strategy is very important:
Always prioritize upgrading the highest farm floor you currently have.
The bottom farms mainly provide funds in the early stages; their presence will diminish later (although even mosquito legs are meat).
Phase 5: A More "Humane" Reset Mechanism
When you feel like you are rich enough to rival a nation, but upgrading a building takes several hours of income, congratulations, you have hit the "Ceiling".
At this time, a mysterious "Investor" will come knocking.
Don't be reluctant to part with your current empire! This is a "Rebirth" gameplay.
By selling your current factory, although you start from scratch, you will gain a permanent income multiplier.
The first time you play, you might feel earning money is like walking;
After resetting once, earning money is like riding a bicycle;
After resetting multiple times, you are riding a rocket!
Autumn's Suggestion: When you feel you "can't push the map" or feel "tired of clicking", that is the best time to reset.
Autumn's Final Ramblings
Don't forget offline income: This is a very user-friendly game. Close the webpage when you are busy, and your managers (as long as you hired them) will continue to work overtime all night. When you wake up, remember to go online to collect that huge "idle fee".
Specific Buffs: Occasionally there will be opportunities in the game to watch ads for speed boosts or free money. If you don't mind, this is definitely a shortcut to overtaking on a curve.
Enjoy exploration: Don't rush to search for the full illustrated handbook. When you grow an unexpected high-end product in the cloud building for the first time, that sense of achievement is something a guide cannot give you.
Alright, that's it for the guide! That towering, mysterious gourmet tower is waiting for you. Fasten your seatbelt, bring your business mind, click the link, and go build your food empire!
Don't forget to tell Autumn in the comments section: which floor did you reach? (Remember no spoilers on crop names!)
