The Tropical Soda Islands is an island-hopping game mode where players can free islands from pesky pirates and passively generate various resources. It brought many new game mechanics, including tanning beds.
As the name suggests, loungers are sets for cookies to lie on to get some much-needed exposure to the sun. They can be used in two ways in the game.
Drying

In the Tropical Soda Islands, you can fight pirates to reclaim land and get resources. If one of your Cookies is defeated in battle, it becomes wet and soggy and must regain its crispness by drying on a tanning bed. This feature is automatic – there is no way to opt out of giving cookies time under the sun.
Cookies can spend a minimum of 30 minutes resting on a tanning bed. The number of hours increases as you unlock higher level stages. Up to 39 cookies can sunbathe together and their timers move independently.

While a cookie is stuck on a tanning bed, it cannot be used in Tropical Soda Islands, but can be used in other game modes. And once a cookie is dry, you must recover in the Sunbed section before it can be used to liberate islands again.

Bring some tropical vibes to your kingdom by placing a Watermelon Sunbed from the Tropical Island section of the Decor Shop. Each costs 1 coins and can be placed in any part of your kingdom's territory (beach section not included). Unfortunately, other fruit-themed loungers have not yet arrived at the store. You can force a cookie to occupy a tanning bed by dragging and dropping it onto the decor.
