Random Brick Math

General
1

I have a ton of mats on hand and I was thinking about making bricks. I decided to have a look at some of the math. Since I did a breakdown I thought I would share.

Cost assumptions for the chart:

  • Materials valued at 1c/block
  • Heat/Spark valued at 100 per 1c

Not Accounted for in the chart:

  • Coils bonus
  • Guild Buffs
  • Crafting Epics
  • Furnace Bonus

All numbers for Heat/Spark/XP taken from Boundlesscrafting.

Here’s the chart:

If you’re planning your activities then remember that your particular mix of coils/buffs/skills/machines will affect your costs, and teaching buffs affect the XP.

If you’re doing everything yourself, you will also earn the XP for gathering the materials, and have additional materials to use for coin and XP. Yams. Lots of yams from the clay and mud. Bunches of sulfur from the ash, and various minerals and other fragments depending on where you got your rocks as well as what type.

So I’m not sure if this will help anyone but I did the math - might as well share it.

https://boundless.mayumi.fi/recipes/#item=ROCK_SEDIMENTARY_BRICK Not sure if you have used this but it is nice as you can adjust for spark and for materials you are resourcing yourself or buying off Butt. you can connect to the Butt to get current prices of materials if you are purchasing any resources. Also can choose whether you are mass crafting vs Single and SS cost. Takes a little playing with but can help one from selling below cost. Just enter what you are making at the top left.

I sometimes find that tool more confusing than helpful. TBH It’s been so long since I tried to use it that I rarely think of it, even though I’m on BUTT daily.

Not that what I posted is any less confusing, to someone else :wink:

Also, I was curious about the XP across the process, which isn’t there.
