Soap

Soap is a craftable item used as a household good. It is notable for being very easy to produce from Oil and Salt, making it one of the more accessible manufactured items in the game once those materials are available.

Because its production cost is low, Soap can be an efficient early or midgame commodity for meeting basic demand or fulfilling production chains, but it is not especially profitable when used outside of specialized labor setups. Its value tends to be poor for lower-class use if the goal is pure income, so it is best treated as a practical utility item rather than a money-making staple.

• Soap can be made very simply from Oil and Salt.
• Its production is cheap enough that it is easy to mass-produce once the inputs are established.
• Outside of talent labor, it is easy for Soap production to run at a loss, so it is not recommended as a commodity for poorer classes.
• If your economy is still developing, use it primarily to satisfy needs or support logistics rather than as a main profit source.
