Strong Recommendation: Larger Mill Batch

[Taki]

My first wheat harvest of 195 tiles yielded 4.6k wheat worth 1 coin each. The mill costed 2.5k coins to make and converts 7 wheat worth 7 coins into 1 flour worth 50 coins in like 2-3 minutes. I can then increase that 1 flour's value by 10 coins by turning it into a sammich bread slice which is instant at the oven.

If you stuck a bot infront of the mill, you could get at least 5 flour in 10 minutes real time which is 250 coins. This means a I would have to babysit the mill for 22 hours real time to grind my first wheat harvest into flour.

A fix for this would be to allow larger batches at significantly reduced time such as x1, x10, x100, x1000 flour crafting. Alternatively and one I would recommend due to the legitimacy would be to add a grain hopper where the player puts the product to be processed and the product would be contained down below for pickup. Queueing up large amounts would allow the player to not babysit the processing station.

Either way, my first harvest will fully supply all the animal feed since the processing time is too high to make it worth selling. I recommend an economic overhaul but that's a big conversation for another time.

Wheat Jam takes WAY longer than flour and is only worth 2 coins more.. RIP farming for income.

The economy in this game is in shambles

Bubble Economy balancing has nothing to do with programming so I'm not TOO surprised. XD

Just read your review as I was thinking of buying this game - don't think I'll bother now as there is nothing worse in economy based games where you can't actually earn much and this seems to be what you and others are saying. Thanks for saving me money.
