Example[]
The best Bazaar item for Organic Matter is currently 
Enchanted Hay Bale at 0 coins per 4000 Organic Matter. The best item for Machine Fuel is currently 
Oil Barrels at 591 coins per 2000 Machine Fuel when purchased from the Bazaar.
For a Composter that doesn't have any Composter Upgrades yet, each Compost would need 3.09x Enchanted Hay Bale and 0.2x Oil Barrel, which would cost 591 coins. The Composter would be able to produce 6 Compost each hour, consuming 24,000 Organic Matter and 12,000 Machine Fuel in the process at a cost of 3,545 coins. Since each Compost can be sold to the Bazaar at an instant sell price of 13,489.5 coins, the hourly profit of running a base-level Composter using Enchanted Hay Bale and Oil Barrels is 77,392 coins per hour before tax. In total, the Composter could run unattended for 100 minutes before running out of Organic Matter, making 10 Compost in that time at a total cost of 5,908 coins. The profit for the full 100 minutes would be 128,987 coins before tax.
For a Composter with all Composter Upgrades maxed out, each Compost would need on average 1714.3 Organic Matter and 857.1 Machine Fuel, or 1.32x Enchanted Hay Bale and 0.086x Oil Barrel, which together would cost 254 coins. The Composter would be able to produce an average of 63 Compost per hour, consuming 108,000 Organic Matter and 54,000 Machine Fuel in the process at a cost of 3,545 coins. The average hourly profit of running a maxed-out Composter using Enchanted Hay Bale and Oil Barrels is 833,889 coins per hour before tax. In total, the Composter could run unattended for exactly 5 hours before running out of Organic Matter, making an average of 315 Compost in that time at a total cost of 79,748 coins. The average profit when running the maxed-out Composter for the full 5 hours would be 4,169,445 coins before tax.
Keeping a maxed-out Composter topped off continuously for 30 real-life days would result in an expected profit of 600,400,123 coins before tax.
