Profit Table

Note that "Base Cost" is the immediate cost of materials, not the cost of raw materials - for example, the base cost of a circuit is relative to graphite, iron bars, and copper bars, *not* coal, iron ore, and copper ore. In addition, graphite requires the same crafting stations you would use to make circuits, and coal is so challenging to mine that you usually either don't have enough or have to smelt it from trees, which will block you from making the iron and copper bars you need. This can make profit margins misleading; sticking with our same example, circuits look like they run a profit, but it's radically more efficient for the same resources to sell off your graphite and iron bars, turn the copper bars into wire, and sell the wire.

This article is also badly outdated; you are better off going to each individual to see various profit levels.
