Is there a food that can be crafted for profit?

[Vanessa]

Seems like buying mats to craft even just meat is a no-no profit wise.Also dont you think commisions are too expensive compared to Portia?

[Prywin]

If you have the commision perks for more gols, it's easy, but that perks are in the social tab and you can buy things cheaper, if your best buddy with Hugo, Owen, Arvio and all other with a store and you will get discounts, what depants on friendshiplevel.

Portia has fixed prices too. In Sandrock is in the lower left an indicator, if things are cheaper or expensive. It changes from day to day.

If you have a farm, barn and a coop you can make a few dishes that don't require buying components like sugar or salt. But they don't amount too much, I really prefer to put aside some for my own use and then sell all the rest as ingredients without cooking. If you have an upgraded farming kit it becomes really easy to make money with crops.

Sandrock, like quite a few games in its genre, seems to consider food less of a value-added good than other goods that can be crafted, farmed, or otherwise sold. Mechanically, it really would prefer the player craft food items for their own consumption. This goes double because many of the inputs (soy sauce, salt, some other ingredients in various dishes) have to be bought from vendors—cilantro and garlic are the biggest examples of this, coming as they do from the Mysterious Man and from no other source.

Contrast things like, say, aluminium plates, where there is a clear progression curve economically speaking between breaking aluminium scrap in Rocky's scrapyard, refining it in the recycler, then using the magnesium-aluminium alloy bars to create plates. That core gameplay loop is really reserved most of all for industrial material.
