Selling strawflour vs making bread

[Apolepth]

I don't see a reason to make bread because I make so much strawflour I can just sell it and buy some rationpacks or whatever, is there a reason to make bread?

[➕⁺+₊ ⁺]

yeah, if you want to set up your own shop where NPCs buy your stuff automatically. Food and alcohol sells well almost everywhere, raw components - not.

Bread can be used as either a food source (by itself or with meat again turning it into dustwraps, foodcubes or dustwiches) or a trade good. It's really up to you as to what you want to do with it.

[Apolepth]

Uhum, so I think I`ll keep selling strawflour still until I get to do med stuff and maybe even drugs

yeah unless youve got people farming meat imo not worth it. even the bread goes by so fast if you try to use it to feed your people

There is no reason to make flour for starters, it's not a good way to make money. Mine some ore, melt some steel, and forge high-level blades, each easily worth 6k+. Same with armor, naturally.

Or make alcohol (wheat will come in handy, although rice is a true king), it's even better and legal everywhere you go, plus bottles do stack very nicely! Bear in mind also that some nations have increased buying prices, for example UC guys are in love with sake. Sometimes it's worth a little extra footwork.

Or be a shady druglord! Hashish sells for absolutely incredible amounts of money. It requires a bit of research and preparation, but even with a tiny farm you'll quite literally swim in cats.

So easy to make money, I'm now at the point of melting down dozens of edge level weapons & specialist black chainmail shirts for crappy iron ore on a daily basis because I just can't be bothered carrying it all to a shop to sell lol ;o)

EDIT: Oops, forgot to be on topic, I make bread, lots of it. Just because I can, and I don't want to carry all the stuff to sell to a shop either lol ;o)

Bread is an ingredient for better food. Which is useful if you want to be self sufficient.
On a side note, bread used to be a really good money better for starting base, but it was nerfed, which might explain why it's not really valuable anymore.

Yeah bread is good only for making the high nutrition stuff, like meatwraps and dustwiches.

Mainly for self sufficiency for feeding a high party count. It also allows you to focus on other things than travelling all across the map to feed a massive party, especially if you've angered factions.

Rice&veggies rule in this department. 4 hydro greenfruits plus 2 hydro rice provides (or half the amount in farms I guess) enough food for full 30 people squad (without skeletons) with a healthy surplus for travels. And also harvesting and cooking this stuff requires almost no time, so your farmer/chef have almost half of his time free to tend any additional tasks.

True dat, though I like to keep my farmer and cook dedicated to making a surplus so I can take my full group on really long excursions without having to stop at outposts. Plus most of guys are idle anyway due to automation/ resource overload.

why not just keep it and turn it to bread? your trading 190 nutrition for 125, better deal to just keep it
