Fairy bread vs Regular bread

[Borgessa]

Has anyone actually done the math - I sold 52 fairy bread and 52 bread, and got way way more for the bread loaf than the fairy bread. I understand that the fairy bread is made in batches of 4 with one bread, and 2 sugar. so if you include those mechanics - has anyone done the maths, I feel like its better personally to plant more wheat, no sugar, and sell just the bread to Mr Jimmy? What say you'all?

yep. if you want to make money with farming & cooking, go with simple bread. monotone, unglorious, but easy, uncomplicated & fast.
i plant & spare sugar only for the Pavlova. it's a potent food & you can make tons of money with it.

I've never bothered with the pavlova, i always carry fruit salad thou, and have sold some of it too, but not as lucrative. I am thinking the bread is better too, get lots of money, and less work, more fields for wheat. I don't want to min max and just have fields for days.

Pavlova gives you 45/45 Health/Stamina + Speed for 3 min

Fruit Salat gives you only 10 Stamina + Speed for 2 min, it's food only for speed, you get your stamina better with cooked fruits, simple Cooked Banana gives you aready 10 Stamina

better than Pavlova is only Prime Roast (50/50) but it's way harder to come to than a bag of sugar, one big egg & fruit salat

i bother only with Wheat for Bread, Sugar for Pavlova & Kokos for Lamington

i make Bread only to sell it
i also sell every excess of the other 2, Pavlova & Lamington, but carry a small stack with me

if you want sell fruits, make cooked fruits, that's better value than fruit salat imo

Good to know i don't ever have prime meats as i avoid the Alpha quests, did one once, that was enough lol. The fruit salad i just eat to recover health when i lose it killing crocks or devils.. In and out of the mines, i don't use the foods for any other bonus's, maybe I should, but I already kinda finished the game, so pretty much just plodding along..

If just looking at cost and sell value: 1 bread = 3 flour = 12 wheat = 6 seeds x 360 = 2160 total cost, sells for 6300, 6300 / 2160 = 2.91666 or 192% profit (more with commerce license)

adding sugar for fairy bread = 2 sugar = 2 cane = 2 seeds x 400 = 800 total cost, makes 4 fairy bread selling at 2569 each = 10276, 10276 / 2960 total cost = 3.471 or 247% profit (more with commerce license)

I hate math's so thank you, don't think you added in my lazy factor thou haha.. ty ty :)

@jshepler
now calculate that way for the Pavlova please

[Dragorin]

I'm making Fairy Bread to sell. I did the math (Max License) but didn't take in the cost of seeds.

1 Wheat = 281
1 Flower = 2184
1 Bread = 8190
1 Sugar Cane = 728
1 Sugar = 1248
4 Fairy Bread = 13359

4 Wheat (1124) VS 1 Flour (2184) Better to sell Flour than wheat
3 Flour (2184) VS 1 Bread (8190) Better to sell Bread than Flour
1 Sugar Cane (728) VS 1 Sugar (1248) Better to sell Sugar than Cane
2 Sugar + 1 Bread (9646) VS 4 Fairy Bread (13359) I'll Sell Fairy Bread

But time is money so you have to determine if the time to process is worth the extra cash or not.

Again, just looking at cost and sell values...

For the big chicken eggs, what's the cost? We could say it's 5k for a chicken, but it doesn't cost 4x 5k per pavlova. 5k for a chicken gives infinite eggs over time. We could say the cost of the egg is the feed. Chickens don't lay eggs if they didn't eat the previous day. You can buy feed from Irwin for 100 but you can also make it for free using grass seeds. So... For the sake of this discussion, let's just say we buy feed and so the cost of a big chicken egg is 100.

Fruit salad has no cost. It's made from the 4 fruits we get for free.

Pavolva also takes 2 sugar, so sugar cost is 800 plus 400 for the 4 big chicken eggs, total cost = 1200.Wiki says Pavlova sells for 6860 so 6860 / 1200 = 5.716 or 472% profit (after "paying back" the 5k cost of the chicken or how many chickens bought).

@jshepler thank you ! great math

as @Dragorin points out time is also money, that's probably my main point with Bread against Fairy Bread, Bread is just way simpler to make
also Wheat needs 9 days to grow, while Sugar Cane needs 12, which makes Wheat more efficient over time
the seed price of both is more or less the same, so of no real consequence

[Borgessa]

Thanks guys, your math skills are great :)

Use cheap fencing to setup defensive lines before engaging the alpha. You can direct an alpha to attack a few ways which makes them super predictable and you can attack them with a spear from a distance over the fence. Makes alpha fights very, very easy. Also the fence blocks most directed fire from bush devils too. The roo is pretty easy without, but the bush devil and croc can be more challenging and benefit from the simplest fencing to limit how an alpha can attack you.

It's a sweetened white bread - a slice of which is usually served with margarine and topped with a generous sprinkling of hundreds & thousands (100's & 1000's)
