-[x] Cursed sword
To notice, we just did it. ou want to upgrade it again right now?
Well, we probably also get bombs while making the wand. And wands are said to be the MAIN tool for MG's, so I'd rather focus on that instead of superior extras that might or might not combo with the girl.
Since they already answered the last two, let me address the first: wands and costumes are more important than trinkets. Right now, the only reason we have focused on trinkets is because we can't make higher level wands and costumes, thus they'll be weaker and won't last as long. But, we do have the option of not only making a wand as good as the trinkets, which some of our megucas need, but it'll also help us grow our skill with wands, it's a win win.

About that,we already gotten hints from the QM that Mistletoe's particular magical skill would benefit from a trinket bringing it to the fullest.
Along with what LunarDreams said, trinkets are currently the only defensive option we have for the magical girls since we can't make costumes yet. Trompdoy needs a trinket to support her illusions, hopefully with some bonuses to help her defense so that she stops getting hurt so often. I'd rather make the trinket with 3 bombs to boost the magical girls immediately against the witch and alchemist and then research the sword next turn.

Tally currently shows a solid lead for researching the sword. If the implication of requiring three actions for it to work is in fact intended, then we'll need to work on it quite a bit. However, even if we research the sword, Mistletoe will be considerably more effective if she can make use of her skill. More effectiveness means that she could go out in a limited scope, or at least defend herself to a greater degree when she must venture out.
So, sword aside, what's our objective if nothing explodes in our face?

I'm super not sure where you're getting three turns from, this is going to be a single turn thing.

This line in particular. While research for one could certainly result in a T3 Wand from our lovely cursed blade, I'm uncertain of how safe said wand would be for user while it remains cursed. Especially considering our MC's reaction to it's history and the curses, it seem likely that there could be adverse effects from the user if put into action directly from research.

No, that's just flavor. If it really took three turns to make the thing usable, it'd never be worth the turns spent. We'd be better off making three tier one wands to equip the team, or just as many trinkets. It said it's one turn, and one turn it shall be. Barring shitty dice rolls anyway, which is always a risk.
Good news is I don't think either Trinket or Research is a bad option here - there are definite risks and benefits to both, and ultimately without knowing the full system at play we can just make our best guesses as to the right call.
I'll note thia workshop upgrade appears to have cost us a lot of Mundane (some of that is upkeep, but also seemed to have gained some from Sofia) I think it's a good thing we ended up selling the first wand to Trompdoy - without that $10,000 we would have been in serious trouble right now. Better hope we run into more who can pay in cash soon.

I think it's an efficiency upgrade. Out Construction speed is 1.5 now.
Maybe once it reaches 2 we can churn out two equipment at once?
'Projects' may be a term for something we haven't unlocked yet.

Given earlier mention that set bonuses, and therefor sets of matched and 'greater effect together then the pieces manage apart' things can be a thing, perhaps it's a limit on how many different parts we can make at once, once we have the skill to make more then one component at a time? Or some stuff might end up taking more then one week to build.

Possibly. Maybe for something like learning how to make costumes? Because even if we still have a lot of wands to make before it's an issue the lack of a primary means of defense is painful in the extreme. Could also be for things like dedicated rooms, like setting up a gas generator to get us some electricity. Hot water aside we're living like savages, and that's no way to be. Or something that passively grants magic resources overtime. That's probably way to much to hope for at this point though.

Sapient.
This is starting to explain why megucas tend to end up on the streets.
Ah, that bitch and her alchemist boy toy.
Ah, Homer, our precious problem child.
Good man.
These scenes are always great.
Poor Mistletoe.
This is nice, very nice indeed.

If we research the sword, does that count as a crafting roll for the bombs since it results in creation of a wand? And Mistletoe is not on the Base sheet as tenant.

Icipall's quotes remind me of something - it's actually kind of nice to see talk of moving magical girls' friends and family (in Mistletoe's case, her girlfriend it sounds like) in. Because of their use as leverage against the girl, and by proxy us, it's something of a security risk to have such people not be secured themselves. Even aside from the security standpoint, people's mental health is influenced by that of those around them - if someone is close with a magical girl and they're suffering, the magical girl is probably also not doing too well. Our job is to support the local magical girls, and keeping them in good spirits is part of that. I can't imagine most of our veteran magical girls have that many ties anymore given their conditions, but it's still a possibility that needs to be considered.
We are going to eventually look into fortifying this place with defensive magic sooner or later. I don't know how big the whole building is but as magical girls get more effective in the area due to our efforts the base is going to become a big target sooner or later.
Edit: either that or we get swole enough with our crafting to have a team of magical girls on retainer as defensive garrison.
