Look at general guidelines in one week to cake guide

High level goals/milestones

• establish faith flow
  • sermon by first Sunday
  • DON’T SPEND FAITH TO STUDY. Make hemp rope and conicals for blues. Save faith for snake/key, to get first zombie asap
  • max out church quality
  • writing prayer
  • gold star faith prayer
  • pretty much ignore graveyard and corpse quality stuff altogether after church level 2; hack out the important bits and burn them for ash
• merchant questline bumrush - don’t squander money, optimize for sales
  • buy only 2~ grape seeds per week
  • wine is a trap pre-business, don’t overdo it
  • don’t do things like buy a ton of blue point books/ink/paper, better off investing in hemp seeds for rope-making blues
  • sell stones (Cory) and wood bits (Tress) and flour (farmer)
  • clotho materials and extra garden seeds (after first batch; they should multiply when you start using quality fertilizer I, at tier I alchemy) can wait
  • unlock store asap
  • focus on maximizing flitch/nail production to sell crates in store; once you get your second zombie, this can be entirely automated, just have to manage log and iron bar acquisition

Key gates/blockers

• dungeon

  • sell stone, carrot slices, flour
• not buying enough crops
  • carrots for energy/corpses
  • onions for burgers
  • grapes for wine
  • hops for beers
• ignoring church for too long
  • cycle should be 3 > 6 > 6 > 8 > 8 > 14 > 28, 28 faith by week 7 (gold star faith sermon, level 2 church, 50 quality)
• not having enough materials to keep up with 10 crates a week, or exhausting metal supply to keep up and delaying other progress
  • 2 flitch (3.33 logs)
  • 1 nail (0.167 -> 0.125 bars) (1.67 -> 1.25 bars/week)
  • goods
    • 7 fancy metal bits (2.33 -> 1.75 bars for simple, 3.5 -> 2.33 bars for complex)
      • iron ore
        • 0.167 + 2.33 + 3.50 = 5.997 (b/f smith perk) - 60 iron bars!
        • 0.125 + 1.75 + 2.33 = 4.205 (a/f smith perk) - 42 iron bars!
  • OR, 32 nails (5.33 -> 4 bars) - 53.3 > 40 iron bars!
    • so, always make nails
  • OR, possibly use ceramic jugs (50 jugs takes 50 bowls, which needs 19 clay, and zombie can do all the work)
    • 500 bowls = 190 clay (yuck, shovel maint, digging - though can just jam a screwdriver in the keyboard or use autohotkey https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/50162-repeat-a-keyboard-button-turbo-button/)
  • OR, possibly use porcelain pitcher (8 jugs, 2 white powder - 1 bone or limestone)
    • limited by corpse/limestone supply, and needs alchemy grinder, and furnace capacity is low
