This is a great guide! Any plans to update it?

I just checked and the planks-to-boats ratio is 3 planks now, meaning they're at least somewhat profitable. The initial idea when you could easily tell the production ratios just from looking at storage was very neat and they fucked it up. It waw stupid to patch boats when their profit wasn't anything overpowered compared to rum and cigars.

All numbers are for version 1.0. The game got a lot of updates since then, so stuff can be out of date.

The calculation on distillery seems more reasonable since you convert 17000$ worth of inputs into 32000$ worth of outputs and that's even before the upgrade that brings down inputs to 12750$. Two above average colonial teamster loads and the upgrade already pays for itself.

According to the table, you produce 1 boat from 3 steel. Wouldn't you be loosing money on shipyard since inputs cost 15,6$, more expensive than 1 boat 11,5$? 1000 boats is 11500, but 3000 steel is 15600, 6000 aluminum is also 15600, 7.75 planks is 16275. At least here your math is correct and planks are "less profitable" than the other 2.

Data from the DLCs. I let buildings work for 10 days, then did some math. Did some rounding and had to guess what I was rounding to, so I am likely off by 0.1 here or there.
