Question about gold production chain

[Fexno]

I don't know why you think that 1 would produce 1 and 1 would produce 1 .


If you look at the details tab of the coinage (when it isn't buffed) you see it requires 4 for 1 .
If you look at the details of the gold smelter (also not buffed) you see it requires 2 for 1 .

So you need 8 to produce 1 .


If you buff with (Aunt Irma's Basket) your output multiplies with 2, so that would make:
4 for 2
2 for 2
So you need 4 to create 2

One gold ore produces one gold bar, and one gold bar produces one gold coin.
In an unbuffed chain, the input is one gold ore, and the output is one gold coin.

Nope.

2 ore from your stores makes 1 bar in the smelter (2 bars if buffed)
4 bars from your stores makes 1 coin in the coinage (2 coins if buffed)
So if you buff your smelter & coinage it still takes 2 ore to make 1 coin.

Remember, gold ore in the stores is just that amount. Gold ore in a mine (or mine refill) can be 1, 2 ,3 or even 4 times that amount depending on what buff you stick on the mine.

The reason I thought one gold ore makes one gold bar is this:

The graphic shows one gold ore as input, and one gold bar as output. Nowhere it tells me the relative numbers needed.

Try the second tab.
