I'm guessing the times for the Tool belt are typos? 1 minute at level 1 and 20 minutes at level 3. Shouldn't it be 20 seconds?

I wanted to be able to plan ahead in my provision house queue, so created to following overviews.
Since a lot of people are buffing each other, I like to share it here:

Production queue lvl 3 provision house (100 baskets / 24h):
* Assumption: buffs are done by a friend, and you buff fishers and butchers
4* 25 baskets = 16h40m (uses 12k fish and 2k sausages (=4 buffed lvl 3 butchers, requiring 9 supporting lvl 3 hunters, and 6 buffed lvl 3 fishers )
2* 25 + 6 musk = 01h34m (to keep the meat deposits from going empty when you have 9 lvl 3 hunters, uses 1680 fish (=an additional buffed lvl 3 fisher))
3* 25 + 9 fishfood = 00h29m (to keep the fish deposits from going empty when you have 7 lvl 3 fishers)
Free space: 05h18m

Production queue lvl 4 provision house (150 baskets / 24h):
* Assumption: buffs are done by a friend, and you buff fishers and butchers
6* 25 baskets = 18h15m (uses 18k fish and 3k sausages (=4 buffed lvl 4 butchers, requiring 9 supporting lvl 4 hunters and 7 buffed lvl 4 fisher))
3* 25 musk = 01h34m (to keep the meat deposits from going empty when you have 9 lvl 4 hunters, uses 2250 fish (=an additional buffed lvl4 fisher)
5* 25 + 3 fishfood = 00h32m (to keep the fish deposits from going empty when you have 8 lvl 4 fishers)
Free space: 03h09m

Production queue lvl 4 provision house (150 baskets / 24h and buffed hunters):
* Assumption: buffs are done by a friend, and you buff fishers, hunters & butchers
Included because it frees up 5 building licenses and 45 minutes additional free time in queue, also not buffing hunters should allow you to buff 10 other buildings, however because an additional fisher is required it only frees up 8 buffs.
6* 25 baskets = 18h15m (uses 18k fish and 3k sausages (=4 buffed lvl 4 butchers, requiring 5 supporting buffed lvl 4 hunters and 7 buffed lvl 4 fisher))
1* 25 + 17 musk = 00h53m (to keep the meat deposits from going empty when you have 5 lvl 4 hunters, uses 1260 fish (no additional fisher required))
4* 25 + 12 fishfood = 00h29m (to keep the fish deposits from going empty when you have 7 lvl 4 fishers)
Free space: 03h54m

I double checked the calculations, but might still have left some unintended surprises ;)

4* 25 baskets = 16h40m (uses 12k fish and 2k sausages (10k meat))
3* 25 fish deposits = 00h25m (6k required because of buffed fishers)
2* 25 meat deposits = 01h24m (5k required because of buffed butchers)
Free space: 05h31m (you can free an additional 42 minutes by buffing hunters)

Production queue lvl 4 provision house (150 baskets / 24h):
* Assumption: buffs are done by a friend, and you buff fishers and butchers
6* 25 baskets = 18h15m (uses 18k fish and 3k sausages (12k meat))
4* 25 fish deposits = 00h25m (9k required because of buffed fishers)
3* 25 meat deposits = 01h34m (6k required because of buffed butchers)
Free space: 03h46m (you can free an additional 32 minutes by buffing hunters)

You create somewhat more deposits then strictly necessary, so you can sometimes skip deposit creation.

I double checked the calculations, but might still have left some unintended surprises ;)

You've possibly forgotten the loop such that Meat deposits require Fish which also require more Fishfood. That said you are still overproducing deposits at least on your Level 3 Provision House example.

You could look into whether or not it is economical to buff your Hunters depending how many you have and their level. E.g. is it worth the Fish/Bread/Sausage cost of Baskets to save yourself Fish/Bread & Provision House production time?

[Fexno]

An economical overview was requested, this is the best I can come up with.
Note that all production numbers are the production of 24 hours
