Chill out! Wiki information, advice how to play.

Chill out ! Wiki information: https://wiki.diggysadventure.com/index.php?title=Recurring_Special_Weeks

To fully complete the cooking grid, get to the end for big points and get extra bonus pots for having multiples of the same material, you first need to collect 23 materials minimum by repeating the mine.
Speeding up cooking and using the tickets can best be done later this week.
Towards the end of the week your inventory will have many more materials and chances go up to get the big number of pots and make real progress on the bar.
Read the article in wiki.

Thank you so much for this information! I can't wait to progress and see how this goes. 😁

@Roeland it is so sweet of you to go to all the time & trouble to help us yet again! Thank you.

The key is to keep an eye on your ingredients still in your pouch and quit while you're ahead. I had 2 chilis in my pot and only 4 ingredients left in my pouch, so I "finished" my cooking session with 110 pots for that round (round 3). I knew the chances of getting a 3rd chili pepper was high and I didn't want to lose half of my pots. After finishing my 3rd round I got my first prize (one green ring). 😁

I have absolutely no idea how to play this game. I am faced with a grid. Where do I start? I know I have some ingredients, where do I put them. By the way, I cook for a living.

pixel_player9455029 lol, this minigame isn't really about cooking, it's pure gambling. as for where to start, there's a tutorial video or two in one of the other chili threads (whoops, I thought I was there). the forum changes have made them hard to find unless there's unread posts, though, so you might find them more easily than me.
aha, I found it via the notifications panel. https://forum.pixelfederation.com/diggysadventure/d/189236-changelog-week-16-easter-2020-free-chili-out-the-special-week <-- there's some links at the top and a youtube link a few comments down

You could start here

https://forum.pixelfederation.com/diggysadventure/d/189126-chilli-out-basic-information/34

Personally I would visit the maps and start from there. Only two locations. You clear the chef‘s restaurant. Then you clear the kitchen which is repeatable every 4 hours.
Then in your camp on the left side (mobile/app) there is this cooking kitchen.
Cook for free. Then cook. As often as you wish but if you want to play it safe, you finish when you see two red chilli sauce placed in the middle. Finish and take what they give you.

If you feel like gambling, cook on. With three chillis you will lose half.

You can read much more, calculate much more and achieve much more. Mine is just the basic version.
Always clear the repeatable kitchen first. Then to camp and cooking kitchen.

After my 5th spin i spent some gems for 25 additional spins.
The 15th spin added the 5th chili and then the chili bar vanished.
I still have 5 chilis after the 30th spin.
Could be a bug or there is a maximum of 5 chilis (please pixel confirm that!)
This is my situation after the 30th spin:

Roeland

@Diggy.Jones#393177 hearing this in more places but have not been able to check this in my own game. It might be the maximum number of chilis was reduce to 5.

Diggy.Jones

I hope they confirm that quickly, because that changes a lot.
When nothing bad happens anymore after 15th spin, it´s the best strategy to do all 45 spins and get as many ingredients as possible early on.

Chani

@Diggy.Jones#393180 I updated the odds in my spreadsheet for 5 chilis, and it looks like it might be way easier to get all the equipment 🙂 might not be necessary to rush all the ingredients. but there's still so much luck involved, so I'm not certain.

Diggy.Jones

I don´t think it´s possible to get any equipment without spending gems if you´re not really really lucky, what makes this a bad event. A perfect run brings over 12k but it´s more likely that you´ll get around 6k (at 22) with all ingredients.
If someone does 35 spins and gets 20 ingredients 2k is realistic. How will that player get 53k pots?
We will see what happens but i expect people being very dissapointed after this event.
Edit: changed to 2k due to new informations

Roeland

I have updated/re-written the page. Data has now been confirmed and strategies adjusted.
Basically this event is a good chance to get 4 good equipment, 2 wide, 8 camp slots for 300-880 gems.
The wiki page should guide you to be able to achieve that. Lots of chance factors, there will be some variation among players. Not too late to get this train (back) on the rails.
The event is not very useful if you do not want to spend any gems. Some results can be achieved if you dont miss a 4 hourly free repeat.
Dont be greedy, no need to get to the highest scores possible. You need a (moderate) average per cooking attempt once you have all ingredients.

Roeland Basically this event is a good chance to get 4 good equipment

For too many of us that is not the case, the equipment is poor to useless.
The strategy is based on unrealistic amounts of times people will get free spins.
We loose spins due to work and sleep, this event is certainly not worth losing sleep.
Too many of us don't get the chance to play during work.

So good luck to the people that want to do that and the equipment is of any actual worth to them.

Diggy.Jones

Roeland I´m on strategy 2 and with my now 20 ingredients (+5 chilis) i always try to get stage 15.
I get 1000 to 2000 pots depending on luck and risk. So far 590 gems spent and 6752 pots got.
Might reach 53k but more will be lucky or expensive.

AllMenAreIslands

Roeland no, I do not agree at this point that there is a "good chance" to get even 1 piece of equipment worthy of the adjective "good."

The equipment is pathetic on purpose. It is eroding my enjoyment of the game.

This event needed to make up for months of frustration and disappointment. It is not delivering on that score.

Roeland

AllMenAreIslands That might be true for you. For many other players the equipment is useful and it is about 8 slots, not 4. As for the actual cost...we will have to see. Maybe some more gems needed to save ur ass on a 3rd chilli now and again. Not sure yet as I am not at the stage of having 25 ingredients and be able to start the real cooking.

R1cketyCr1cket

Chili's pop up too frequently to make this event of any use. Completely worthless. Focusing on Easter 2020, and being new to Greece it's enough of a challenge.

erembee

I think that, just like Lucky Card, this event is not truly random.
It is so programmed, that people are tempted to use gems and, by lacking them, buy gems.
For me, this event is a failure; it's not funny to play and its equipment is unreachable without spending gems (money). A pay-to-win event, PixelFederation unworthy.
