Updated 6 November 2026 from Wild Dog’s 6 November mini update, v0.1.74.19895, 5 November content update, v0.1.73.19851, and 30 October networking and staff update. These are developer-reported changes; our suggested routines are editorial advice.
Your next step
The 5 November update releases Karaage at Level 15, the Self-Service Water Dispenser at Level 14, the Level 35 cap and the Competitive Eater critic. They join October’s Ticket Machine, staff appearance and text chat. These specific arrivals do not establish that every roadmap stage or later level cap is complete.
5 November: four important plans become usable content
Karaage Chicken and its equipment now unlock at Level 15. The Self-Service Water Dispenser unlocks at Level 14 and needs cups to be replenished. The shop cap rises from 30 to 35, with Extra-Thick Noodles at 31, Chili Pepper at 33 and Mizuna Greens at 34. The Competitive Eater critic unlocks at 35 and awards a special trophy for a first victory. These are released conditions in v0.1.73.19851, not predictions from the roadmap image.
Keep October’s shipped features in the released column
The Ticket Machine, staff appearance customisation and multiplayer text chat shipped on 28 October. On 30 October the networking choice gained EOS and Steam modes. The 5 November update extends the Ticket Machine with deposits, withdrawals and theft exposure; it does not reintroduce it as an entirely new appliance. Comparing the actual dates avoids double-counting a later improvement as another release.
The remaining list is still a plan
The 16 October roadmap also discusses moving multiple structures, beer and gyoza staff, custom shop sounds, fried rice, security turrets, layout presets, a tutorial library, additional ramen, stalls, noodle making and photo mode. These items are not confirmed as released by the latest notes checked for this guide. New toppings have begun arriving, but that broad category does not establish every planned ingredient. Later level-cap targets of 40 and 50 remain distinct from the currently announced cap of 35.
Buy against a named requirement
For current equipment, the released sequence includes the Serving Staff Workstation at Level 9, Ticket Machine at 12, water dispenser at 14 and Karaage setup at 15. A future feature has no current purchase requirement merely because it appears nearby on a roadmap. Choose the actual task you want to improve and check the available equipment in your build before planning around an unannounced date.
Small fixes change how a new feature feels
The 6 November follow-up already removes the Karaage tutorial’s wait-for-order step and fixes serving interactions around existing cups. That is why a release guide should include both the feature announcement and its immediate fixes. Older launch footage can be useful to watch while describing a tutorial step that no longer exists. Match its version before copying the sequence.
