The Fully Loaded Update
PlateUp 1.2.0, 8 August 2024

Celebrating PlateUp's two-year anniversary, this update brings a new way to build, a new dish to cook, a new way to get people to leave your restaurant without making a mess, and much more

The Fully Loaded Update is available on all platforms today, bringing you...

New Dish: Tacos

The long-requested tacos have finally arrived in a Dish Cabinet (more about that later) near you

Using the new Taco Tray, create up to four tacos at once. And you'll need to be quick about it, because each customer will be ordering multiple

Start simple with a plain meat taco, and build up to four different toppings. There's unlimited 15 different variants for customers to order!

Advanced Build Mode

If you've ever wanted to spontaneously turn into a crane, then we've got excellent news for you.

Advanced Build Mode allows you to become a crane and move over obstacles while building your restaurant in prep time

During preparation time, Advanced Build Mode lets you pick up and rotate objects, just like a person. The only difference is you're a crane.
Your crane can fly over objects and walls making rearranging your food factory restaurant a breeze. Never get stuck three-conveyors-deep again.

Cranes are for everyone*, and everyone* can use their cranes at once

(*you must be level 6 or higher to ride your crane)

Control your crane with your keyboard or controller, just like your person!

Keyboard players can even use the mouse for precision restaurant design

Dish Cabinet

When you first started building restaurants two years ago, there weren't so many things to choose from. Now there are 15 starting dishes to unlock, and it's hard to find the ones you like

With this update, you can start your restaurants with whichever dish you want using the Dish Cabinet in your headquarters

Available once you've unlocked every dish

Leftover Bags

Sick of filthy customers making a mess all over the place while they eat? Hand out this new consumable to your customers to politely (but firmly) request that take their food home and finish eating somewhere where it isn't your job to clean up after them

Alternatively, get ahead of the queues by handing them out as soon as you serve your food and enjoy a moment of peace before the next wave of leisurely eaters arrives. Giving a leftover bag to a customer will cause them to immediately finish eating their current dish

As an added bonus, even the pickiest of eaters will scrape everything off their plates and into the bag! They might hang around for dessert, though

Splits Self-Service

When Briony and Kirsty first streamed PlateUp as part of TinyTeams 2021, their restaurant was shut down because they tried to serve one customer an entire pot of carrot soup

As part of the celebration of TinyTeams 2024 (and not just as a lucky coincidence), customers will now scoop their own carrot soup straight from the pot

You can now serve customers any splittable food (which doesn't require a plate, they're not monsters) by placing the whole thing directly onto their table
