Bake or Die Guides Hub
First-hour diner work, six-slot pies, night funnels, bosses, and Nuggets — mapped to every child guide.
Bake or Die by Big Bakers is a live Roblox diner survival game (released 2025-04-05, still updating). You run a desert pie shop by day, then hold 32-player online co-op waves at night. Sunrise burns leftover undead. Cash comes from pies inside a run. Gold Nuggets sit in the lobby and buy classes. There are no working codes; the Codes Hub exists to say that plainly, while Gold Nuggets is the real free path.
Use this hub as a map. Each child guide answers one search, then points sideways so you do not reread the same loop five times. If you have never mixed a pie, start with Getting Started. If you already know the stations, skip to How to Play for the day-night order, or Pie Recipes for six-slot math.
Getting Started — first hour in the diner
The Getting Started page is the first-hour walkthrough: lobby class shop, diner stations (grinder, mixer, oven, shelf), Gunsmith, General Store, and a Night 1 plan. Buy Juggernaut at 30 Nuggets when you can, then Gunslinger at 65, then Bombastica at 250. Baker at 10 Nuggets is the cheapest economy class, not the best solo carry. Dual Revolvers at $150 each beat saving blindly for a late SMG on night one.
How to Play — loop, stations, exploration
How to Play covers controls, the diner-by-day / zombie-by-night loop, and why daytime has a strict order: collect corpses before they spoil, grind, bake six-slot pies, craft, then shop, explore, and rescue NPCs for blueprints. Repair walls last, right before sundown. Cash is shared on a 32-player server; Nuggets are not. That page also explains funneling one door and saving trapped people for the Auto Turret blueprint.
Pie Recipes — six slots and premium meat
Pie Recipes is the baking desk. One Savory Meat slot sells for $11; six slots sell for $55. Premium fillers — Explosive Meat from Fire Zombies, Carrots, Yeast, Cheese from the sewers, Radioactive Rat Meat, and eggs from the Evil Chicken — push value and ammo for Bombastica. Use the Pie Calculator before you dump a rare egg into a half-empty tin.
Survive Nights — funnel, spikes, turrets
Survive Nights is the defense checklist for nights 1–5: one open door, spike machine, wall repairs, Auto Turret ammo, and dual Revolvers until you can afford the M1 Garand, Sawed-Off, and SMG. Blood Moon nights hit every five nights with heavier volume, so reinforce on night four. When Day 6 is close, jump to bosses instead of stacking more planks.
Beat Bosses — Chicken through Food Factory
Beat Bosses covers Evil Chicken on Day 6 (Egg, Chicken, Radioactive Egg), Moopocalypse and Doomberry as shown in walkthroughs, Biggie Cheese the Rat King in the sewers from Day 11, and the Mutated Evil Scientist / Mad Scientist at Evergreen Science Facility (fence code, Ray Gun blueprint, Reconstructor, day-skip). Later Food Factory raids add Grimcrust Supreme, Dr. Vincent Green, and The Fermented One after a Floppy Disk keycard quest. Prep with Bombastica Level 3 and a Doctor on squads. Check Latest Updates after a patch.
Gold Nuggets — the free class path
Gold Nuggets is the lobby grind: three daily quests (1–3 Nuggets each, 24h), the in-game badge scroll (1–10 each, about 47 total from milestones, separate from the six official Roblox badges), house chests, +1 Nugget at night 5/10/15 landmarks, +10 for inviting a friend, and the Robux stand. Then spend on classes via the Class Picker and the class roster.
Zombies, map, and blueprints
Zombies lists enemy types and which meat they grind into. Map covers the diner overworld, Sewers, Evergreen Science Facility, Bank/Vault, and the Food Factory raid. Food Factory is the Floppy Disk, diner computer, keycard, three bosses, and Minigun. Blueprints is how Auto Turrets and the Ray Gun actually enter a run.
Related hubs sit beside these guides: Weapons for the Gunsmith buy order, Classes for S-tier picks, Scripts if you are comparing automation (we do not recommend cheats), and official links for Discord and the Roblox group.
This hub is a map, not a second copy of Night 1. Open Getting Started when you still need station names, Pie Recipes once the oven is the bottleneck, Survive Nights when walls start cracking, Beat Bosses before Day 6, and Gold Nuggets when you are ready to buy Juggernaut. Bookmark the class and weapon lists for loadout arguments, and use the pie calculator when a six-slot mix is about to waste premium meat. If a page disagrees with a live patch, read Latest Updates and Patch Notes before you rewrite your buy order.
