Nancy- I will add you in the AM when I get back into the game. I'm not sure that you have your numbers straight. My numbers might be off by a million or two depending on when I wrote the numbers you quote. I would have to go back to figure out if that was before, during, or after loading up on low producing rares. Depending how vigilant I am about baking daily for max throughput, I might get up to 4,000,000 treats per day, but nothing like you describe is possible in the game I play.

Back in early June, I did a detailed analysis on the bakeries. The cost per treat is a fixed constant: 10c = 1t. That never changes. What does change is the Number of Treats per Oven per Hour that treats can be produced with greater investment of resources in a single baking cycle. Through the magic of parallel processing using multiple ovens, it is possible to get greater rates with multiple cycles of less expensive treats in some cases, but we will stick to the actual maximum production possible.

Let's look at my 30 ovens. A full cycle of Cakes in my 30 ovens would be 5,000,000c x 30 = 150,000,000c (abbreviated to 150Mc). That massive investment nets 15,000,000t (15Mt). That 15Mt also takes 48 hours, meaning that our infinite-cash-maximum-possible baking production from 30 ovens is 7.5Mt per day. That's it. Unless you know of some strategy or resource that I don't, 7.5Mt per day is the current cap for all players on all platforms.

The fact is that even my aggressively production-oriented populations of about 85% 4-element monsters do not come close to producing the 75Mc per day required to sustain maximum output. Through some tweaking of the populations and a more prompt collection schedule, I have achieved a max of 45-50Mc per day, which I know is not the technical maximum, but it is reasonably close in a sustainable strategy. That has upped my production to 4.5-5Mt when I am able to put in the work. Presently, I'm averaging somewhere around 3.5-3.75Mt per day.

Thoughts?
