How to process materials into crafted goods at a workshop, and tips for calculating your profit.

What is a workshop?
Workshops are found inside the markets of cities that have recipes. Put in the required materials and you get more valuable crafted goods. Each city can make different goods, and each recipe requires a certain authority rank in that nation.
How to craft
- Open the "Workshop" from the market screen to check this city's recipes and the materials they need.
- Buy the materials under "Buy." Some materials are sold in that city, while others must be brought from other cities.
- Set how many to make at the workshop and craft them. Crafting costs a fee and in-game time.
- Each crafted good has its own cities that want it. Take it to one of those cities to get the best price.
Calculating your profit
The cost of a crafted good is the cost of the materials you put in plus the crafting fee. The selling price must be well above this cost for you to make a profit. The cheaper you gather materials, and the more directly you take the crafted goods to the cities that want them, the bigger your profit.
Advanced crafting and company orders
You can also use basic crafted goods as materials to make higher-tier goods. Some advanced crafted goods are ordered directly by companies, so as your authority grows, crafting leads to bigger deals.
