Considerations on the "buffing" business

[AetiusWMD]

I would like to open the conversation on what should be the buffing used on and the economic advantages vs the market.
To start off, lets see what buffing represent as resources involved:
I will consider the "cheap" or basic buff only, once you can afford the basket, the player is advanced enough not to care for pennies saved on the dolar.
1 buffing = 1 fish dish = 10 fish
10 bread = 100 fish in thee pool = 10 dish, therefore 1 bread = 1 buff

What should be buffed depends IMO on the market price for different items.
Obviously, all weapon production buildings are worth buffing, given the large amount of raw material required to produce weapons.
The question is if other buildings ar worth buffing. One should also consider the limited amount of fish dish that is available per cycle.

Example: Beer: at level 2 would come down to 2 bier boost for 1 bread.

I for example try to buff the following buildings (all at least level 2): all weaponsmiths, stable, bakery, hardwood sawmill, marble mason. Sometimes I buff brewery, and seldom iron smith, coal mine or iron mine.

I pretty much used the same logic as you, however I never buff my bakery, instead I buff the toolmaker. I buff the toolmaker, because instead of buffing the mines I upgrade them all to level 2.

I buff important buildings with baskets, such as bakery, brewery, weapon smiths, gold mines/smelters/coinage. I buff lesser items with sandwiches such as hw mills or marble masons, coking plants.

Iron smelter, gold smelter, coinage, gold mine, steel smelter. I feel like buffing bakery and such is a waste of bread. If you need bread buy it with gold. Its cheap

It is cheap IF you have the gold to spend for bread.
As for buffing a lv3 bakery, you get a 3:1 profit every production cycle, at under 4min per bread production will be about 3 x 8 = 24 bread profit, you spend 1 bread and get 24 back, and if you have several leveled up bakeries and enough fisheries, it all adds up.

Well gold is easy to make. There are plenty of times where there is nothing to do in the game but wait. Use that time to buy some resources cheap and then resell it at a higher price. Not to mention this game gives you a ton of gold when you beat certain enemies on the map.
