How to finish the carrot and cucumber crate orders

Identify the crate and return to the bench

When the vegetable crate arrives, read the temporary order at the top of the screen. Look for the named vegetable and check it against the produce in the wooden crate. The Japanese walkthrough shows a carrot order with a crate of carrots beside the worker. This is a manual preparation job. Take the vegetables to the peeling bench and watch the crate's own objective as you work. Progress on the ordinary potato delivery quota measures a different job.

Finish the ends and dispatch the prepared vegetables

The cucumber order can take longer than its payout suggests. One player singled out the ends: the Journal skill that pre-peels both tips reduces that work. Without it, turn the vegetable to inspect each tip before moving on. Finish the batch shown on the card, then use the crate's dispatch interaction. Sending ordinary peeled potatoes down the depot water chute will not send this crate. Check for the vegetable order to clear after dispatch before you resume the production line.

Keep the poison decision separate from peeling

If you are also trying the Resistance story, record the instructions when the vial appears, before starting either vegetable order. A player reported that the note disappeared from the secret-mail list and that reloading after choosing the wrong crate did not restore the decision. On a documented successful Pavel route the player treated the cucumbers and left the memorial carrots untreated. If you want a second attempt, use a save made before the decision. Peeling another batch after the choice has already been recorded did not reverse it in the reported case.

The reward belongs to the whole crate

Read the small reward line under the vegetable objective. A recorded carrot order displays a reward of 3 while its progress bar is empty. The cucumber order later shows 4 with a partly filled bar. These figures are the posted rewards for the respective crate orders. Do not multiply the number by the vegetables visible in the box. Use the separate horizontal bar to judge how much of the batch has been processed.

Read who the memorial meal is for before deciding what to do

At 1:18:12 in the recording, the paper attached to the carrot delivery orders a Sunday memorial meal for the families of fallen soldiers and for veterans. It expressly asks for careful hand peeling. This identifies the carrots even if you have also received a Resistance message about a dinner. Use the name of the vegetable on the order card and the intended diners on the paperwork as checks before you commit a story choice.

A tap leaves a finished crate on the bench

Stop peeling when the objective changes from preparing vegetables to sending the crate. Aim at the finished box and read the floating prompt. It asks you to hold the displayed interaction key. Keep it held while the box is targeted. In the recorded carrot run the send prompt is visible at 1:20:50, and the box is gone when the player looks back at the bench. The cucumber delivery shows the same hold instruction at 1:29:15. If the order still asks for peeling and shows a partial bar, finish the remaining vegetables first.

The council’s cucumber crate comes from ration stock

Open the secret instruction attached to the cucumber crate before working it. It says the cucumbers came from the depot’s rations and were excluded from the official accounts. The note also forbids discussing the dinner or its menu. The second numbered instruction requires hand peeling with minimal peel loss. At the board the cucumber objective appears above the ordinary potato tray. A raw-potato number can remain visible while the cucumber order is active. Use the produce and the vegetable objective to check what you are preparing.

Keep the potato line running during the manual dinner order

Read the crate paperwork first. The council order calls for hand-peeled cucumbers with minimal loss. Leave an already-powered potato drum working on its current raw load, then take the event produce to the bench yourself. The filmed shift shows the normal Raw Stock display and the cucumber instruction on the same screen. Follow the event progress indicator for this box. Potatoes discharged by the drum can continue their ordinary journey without advancing the cucumber count.

If you come back from a machine and the vegetable progress is unchanged, inspect what is in your hand at the board. Work through the actual crate produce and watch its bar move. When the order changes to sending, hold the interaction on the completed crate. There is no need to empty the potato hoppers to hand off this separate job.
