About this game
Food Idle is a canvas-based idle game about building an efficient kitchen.
Connect ingredient tiles and cooking stations to produce simple and complex recipes. Then Sell them to earn gold. Upgrade your stations, add automation, and keep expanding until what started as a single process is a full operation running by itself.
Open crates to unlock new ingredients and recipes, discover more complex ingredients by producing them, and track your progress in the Cookbook. With over 1,000 ingredients and 1,600 recipes spread across ten production methods, there's always something new to create!

Bug Fixes & Improvements Update Aug 30th, 2026
Bug Fixes Fixed gold-rate estimate briefly showing negative numbers after purchases. Fixed gold-rate estimate getting stuck at 0 even with active, producing chains. Fixed the repair wrench icon overlapping the "Repairing..." status text on Cooking Station Tiles. Improvements Gold-rate now updates live with every change (restocking, breakdowns, rewiring, upgrades). Gold-rate now reads "est. X g/s" (or /min, /hr depending on rate). Redesigned the animation that occurs on connected wires when ingredients move from one tile to another. They are now easier to see and precisely follow the actual wire curve instead of cutting a straight line.Read full article on Community Announcements (Actual Rhino)Patch NotesOfficial

Feature/Bug Fixes Update Jun 26, 2026 Pt. 2

Fixed the Repair button not becoming active when a damaged Service Window tile is selected. Fixed dragging a Service Window tile onto the conveyor belt causing a crash. New Features & Adjustments Added a Small Ingredient Crate — Opens 1 ingredient. Added a Small Recipe Crate — Opens 1 recipe. When any crate rolls an ingredient, there is now a higher chance it will be an ingredient needed for a recipe you've already unlocked.Read full article on Community Announcements (Actual Rhino)
