Bakery Story: Help Me I have a Question

Perhaps you're referring to emoji's? They are available on your phone/device for use in any app you can type into. There are lots of emoji's you can use that are food related and the button to change from a keyboard to the emoji lists is located in the same place where you type on your device. If it's not that, please reach out and help us understand what you are asking. thanks!

For android: The emoji menu is accessed from the keyboard by tapping or long pressing the emoji/enter key in the bottom right corner, or via the dedicated emoji key in the bottom left (depending on your settings).
For iOS: same as above but it is located on the left side of the keyboard.

*woosh* That went completely over my head but your answer makes complete sense and I will question my common sense the rest of the day, lol.

I just realized i have the Grapevine Cake unlocked from the Grape Expectations goal despite not finishing the goal ? i havent baked it before, and i dont have the final goal prize either though it is unlocked for me in the store. im confused as to how this could happen ? unless the Grapevine Cake was unlocked and made available for all players with a Loretta's oven

These days it took like 10 mins for my game to load. It kept on loading and stuck on this.

and if I exit the app aka switch to let it run in the background it will immediately go this


is this any particular issue happening to some people or just me? I know for sure it's not my internet since everything else run just fine :/

As far as I know the Grape Expectation goal and its items remain locked for those who missed it like all the other goals. However, there seems to be a random glitch that can happen from time to time that a few others have mentioned seeing over the past year or so.

From what I've seen, it's usually a different goal for each player but they all note that a goal they missed/didn't complete suddenly has all the items unlocked and on offer in their market for purchase. In all, sounds like a lucky day for those that experience it - enjoy earning a few extra gems from the recipes

Is there any particular reason why Screw is gifted the most as a basic part? I once read somewhere that it's the first part in the basic section? I use Android and that's not the case?

This may be true for you but this is one of those things that's a bit different for everyone. For instance my neighbor group usually goes with the Oven Element when gifting basics not connected to a goal. And others may see more Knobs than anything else.

If I had to guess why you see so Screws, I'd think because it's one of the three most used parts in the game - needed for 27 different appliances. Also, I find that generally it's a part that nearly every player considers to be a "basic part" whereas something like the Oven Light (used in 6 different appliances) is one that some don't see as basic where others do. Because there's no official ranking of basic parts, I made a list of every part that could be considered 'basic' in the first post of the Parts List (link in my signature) for those interested.

As for where it's located in the gift menu... On iOS some of the "basics" are together but not all of them. Of the parts that are together, the Oven Element and Gear actually show up sooner on the list (and both are used more) so I'm not sure where that theory came from. Guess it's just one of those things that we've all heard at some point and assume is true until people like us go looking, lol

Can someone please explain why on the first day of a 14-day goal I can only get 10 material requests accepted instead of the usual 20? I am able to receive the full 20 gifts, but not requests.

I play in the PDT zone, so reset is midnight, and the goals begin at noon. I never accept gifts or material requests between midnight and noon on the first day of a new goal. So all of my gift and request ?slots? should be open. In theory, I SHOULD be able to complete one goal oven on the first day using only gifts and requests, as the oven requires 40 parts total.

I find it extremely frustrating to only be allowed 10 material requests accepted as it makes it impossible to complete a goal oven using just gifts and requested parts. I understand the collectibles are an option. However, on the first day of a goal getting the collectibles is not worth the time and effort to me.

I was wondering if there was any part of the year where Bakery Story does not do two 14-day goals a month and just one, or maybe takes a week break from a 5-day goal. I know I could just easily not participate but
a) I do not not want to miss out on the limited goal reward item.
b) It?s easier for my neighbours to gift me goal parts along with mostly everybody else. I don?t want to cause a bother by asking for basic parts during goal weeks.

Yeah, simply put, I was wondering if there was ever a week where Bakery Story does not release a goal, as a break for players?

Over the years, the goal schedule has changed and evolved several times. When these shifts happen the time between goals can change and everything goes a bit wonky with the schedule. But since they first introduced the current 14 day goal style, they've yet to intentionally skip an entire goal even when things things have shifted.

That said, the company policy is to not give out any information on future goals/updates - not the timing of them or the theme/content of them. So really, we never know what's next for the game, we can only speculate based on past behavior. Just because a break hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will!
