Restaurant Tycoon 3 has raised the bar with its Farming Update, giving players the chance to grow their own ingredients instead of only buying them from the shop. This game-changing feature adds depth and strategy, letting you boost your menu, cut costs, and grow your restaurant empire. Among all the new ingredients, eggs stand out as one of the most important.

The Farming Update: A Fresh Twist on Gameplay

Before the update, ingredients had to be purchased at convenience stores. Now, you can head to the farm area behind the map (or teleport instantly using the new button) to start planting and harvesting your own food.

How to Get Eggs in Restaurant Tycoon 3

Right now, the most reliable way to obtain eggs is through the farming system. While they can occasionally be found in convenience stores, farming offers a consistent and renewable source.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

  1. Access the Farm Area – Use the teleport button to reach your personal farm plot instantly.
  2. Buy Egg Starters – Visit the farm shop in the farming area to purchase seeds or starters.
  3. Plant and Wait – Place your starters on the plot and let them grow. Some crops, like onions, are quick to mature, while others (like eggs) may take longer. It’s designed to feel like a true “grow your garden” experience.
  4. Harvest Your Eggs – Once ready, collect the eggs and use them in new recipes—or merge them with menu items to raise their value.

Why Farming Eggs (and Other Ingredients) Matters

Farming isn’t just about filling your pantry—it’s one of the smartest strategies for long-term success in Restaurant Tycoon 3.

  • Boost Dish Value – Combining homegrown ingredients with your existing menu items significantly increases their worth, letting you charge more per plate.
  • Cut Costs – By growing instead of buying, you save in-game cash—especially with higher-tier ingredients.
  • Progress Faster – Farming contributes to your Gardening and Shopping milestones, which help you level up and unlock new upgrades.

If you’re serious about building a thriving restaurant empire, farming is no longer optional—it’s essential. Eggs, in particular, are a must-have ingredient that can elevate your dishes, increase profits, and give you an edge over competitors.
