For the first time since i ever got the game years ago, I'm actually progressing past apple pie and starting to have some issues. From what I've heard, time loops slow things down a ton, but you can mitigate most of the slowdown with the idle coins you get. But that's not what I'm asking. Right now in the first town, I'm producing car bodies, slowly getting the money for a car, but man the car will take so long to complete once lol. The second town I'm producing pork chops, getting closer to roast beef. So...

Tried to play the game, but it downloaded some content and then froze on an attempt to connect with the Steam API client.

what I said!

How do you get it? I've produced enough cookies to get all the in-game achievements for Eat Town.

It took me about 30 hours of gameplay spread across three months. That's how long it took me to finish all the in-game achievements. Pretty sure it should be much faster than that, but I did play the game casually. Only play the game once a day, to spent money accumulated the day before, and then turn it off until the next day....
