I love these creation scenes, I'm going to miss these if we upgrade out of hobo crafting.

Would it be possible to cut a deal with one of the girls? Get a price cut on the wand if they look out for the newbie while she's finding her feet?

Actually we use mundane for upkeep and it can be used for crafting, so if we make level 1 wands we can use mundane so grabbing more of that always works. Also we are down to 2 mundane so may as well stock that up to make sure we do not run out since we consumer 1 a week on upkeep.

Going with Homer in hopes that he can help out around the place, maybe give us an extra action because if we can ever get to the point where we can get more room space and build an item each week we will be a lot better off.

We need to make it so we're not treading water on action economy. Hiring Homer and improving the workshop are both gambles that may help us with that. (Also, I'm curious as to what workshop improvements we might end up with if we use Witchy Stuff.)

I would point out that unless we get more mundane next week we run out as we use it for upkeep as well as crafting

Other resources can be exchanged to Mundanes.

An employee would be exceedingly helpful.

We are never going to have enough rooms. But D10 * 2 weeks would let us get ahead of the item durability curve.

Oh that makes things a lot easier than. Also the variety pack is probably not as big a deal since we are going to likely be making level 1 wands and level 3 trinkets early on.

We have the cash to stay solvent for 2 more weeks, assuming no mundane expenditures at all, which is one heck of an assumption. Also, the exchange rate for turning other resources into mundanes is terrible. Running out of money is really costly in resources.

I honestly really want to make more wands and trinkets, as some of the local MGs might need those to survive. But I'm getting the impression that the girls will never have enough equipment at our current rate of production. Getting more durability rating will at least allow us to get MGs in the green for longer, which will allow us to supply more of them. I just hope nobody dies while we play the macro game here.

We'll need a room for the kid.
How did we learn magic? Fixing stuff is easy, but knowing that beer bottles can be turned into arson wands?

Switching my vote to Mundane as well, currency is important, especially when right now we really need mundane resources to make our little halfway house less shit.

Before I consider changing my vote to Trompdoy for Mundanes, what happens to Calypso if we don't replace her wand? Trissa managed to find a new place to live, but I'm not sure that things will turn out so well again. We also won't have another wand ready next week for her to buy so she might be without a wand for 2 weeks. (I think her wand had 1 week left before the last update, but the spreadsheet still shows 1 week. It might not have been updated yet.)

One thing to keep in mind is that we do want to be paid in magical goods, not just money. We have a much easier time exchanging magic items for mundane cash than most MGs do, so it's good if we don't overvalue mundane money when choosing who to trade our items with. (Also, I think we can use magical resources to improve our workshop and building, not just mundane resources.)

I'd guess alcohol is associated with bringing things (people) together, albeit in a different way.
Besides, even physically, solvent and adhesive are symmetric concepts in ways that let them substitute for each other sometimes. Compare a rigid attachment with a flexible one like a joint, which relies on smooth surfaces to avoid abrasion.
edit: That said, this system kind of reminds me of Discworld, where the ancient mystic rite to summon Death himself can, in an emergency, be performed with "a simple incantation, three small bits of wood and 4cc of mouse blood." Though he may be a bit cross if you leave out the candles and robes and ceremonial pomp; it's a sign of disrespect. (To the mages as well, of course. It's like admitting you can't afford to do it properly.)
edit: To the author, does this system outright run on metaphor as a physical layer, in the sense that a different species would have a different set of magic, or are the rules of magic independent of human perspective?

Uh... how can we exchange magical goods for mundane money? Because if that is easy for us to do, then I wouldn't vote for mundane cash.
I'm voting for cash right now because it seems to me that that is our immediate restraint.

Aw shit, I forgot theme music for this update.
Yeah, pretty much. Magical Girls can't play the flea like you can, so converting bear asses to tools is hard as shit. When you 'convert resources' to make upkeep, it takes up your Friday and Saturday to get that inventory moved at the flea.
No, flour just keeps the alcohol in one spot and doesn't really have a mystic effect. It gets burned off fairly early in the final cook too.
Nah, you're always going to have item creation go like this. The only thing upgrades do is add extra steps.
Magic is the expression of the light of the soul, and this actually touches at something plot-releveant around Week 20-30, so I'm not going to answer this question. Safe to say, though, you're a Gnome, Harry.
Fixed, thank you.
You knock them together into doodads and sell them at the flea market. It converts one not-mundane into one mundane, and eats a massive portion of your time. It also is horrible for your mental state because hawking shit at the flea for ten hours a day two to three days a week is exhausting and unrewarding.
