Strategies for Mission Completion
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First of all, you will need incredible quantities of Sugar to complete the traditional Quest sequence.  Cane must be planted and then processed in the Sugar Machine after harvest to create Sugar.  Make certain that you have heaps of the stuff on hand for use in the Candy Machine and the Kitchen!

I think it is rather unfortunate personally that the Licorice Candy is made in the Kitchen rather than the Candy Machine.  It would have been nice to extend the use of the Candy Machine to incorporate a new item.  Furthermore, with the limit on Power, it would have made sense to allow us to make the Licorice Candy in the Candy Machine.  A different item could have been used in the Kitchen to create the Circus Snacks combination.

Note that this is a LONG Quest with twelve steps.  Fortunately, some of the tasks dovetail both with the weekly Circus Task of producing Buffalo Milk Cheese and the Collections Mission tasks of collecting Juggling Balls from Chardonnay and Guarana.

Prepare Basic Ingredients in Advance
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As always, prepare as many as possible of the basic ingredients you will need in advance.   Cornmeal is a Kitchen Recipe and is needed to make Cornbread.   Corn is needed both for Cornmeal and to feed to the Chickens to produce Eggs.
