God, you vindictive bitch, why can't I ever have any "me" time

What I've learned playing this:
  • Be sparing with your menu. Once you have a foothold, you probably want at most 2-3 batches of fancy multi-serving dishes, and then just a single serving of something both expensive and easily replenishable, set to autosupply. I have never once needed more than 3 slots for the menu.
  • Be careful about upgrading your restaurant ranking, and make sure you have the staff to deal with it in advance. I've had the Platinum rank available for at least 5 days at this point and I still don't want to get it because it increases daily expenses by something like 5x, and the increase in customers has not been anywhere near enough to offset that. A night's net earnings at Gold rank gives me 11k, which drops to 5k if I go to Platinum.
  • Unlock the tranq rifle ASAP. It's cheap, easy to make, effective, and remains the weapon I bring with me for 90% of my outings.

I've kind of petered out at this point in the game, diving has lost its novelty and I have to deal with a minimum of 3 shark attacks per dive, I've seen every possible iteration of the map 20 times over, and I'm both thankful for the distractions the newer mechanics offer, and resent them for stalling forward progress that much more. But hey, I got at least 27 thoroughly enjoyable hours out of it.

e: Oh yeah, and I swear the... translation? Is getting steadily worse as the story progresses. I've never had difficulty figuring out what anyone is saying, but the manner in which people talk is getting progressively more and more stilted and evidently not written by someone with English as their first language.
