Preservation, speed and structure trade against one another.
Measured manufacturing derives retained properties from actual structural inputs. Fuel and provisions do not transfer their grain or other structural character into the product. The craftsperson’s skill, input quality and a suitable facility also affect the quote.
Reinforced processing shifts some flexibility toward stability. It does not add unlimited properties. Currency conversion uses its ordinary fixed recipe and is excluded from property manufacturing.
Reference
| Process | Base property retention | Time relative to standard recipe | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 70% | 100% | Faster measured manufacture with lower retention. |
| Preserve | 95% | 140% | Keep more of a useful input property. |
| Reinforced | 80%, followed by a flexibility/stability trade | 120% | Trade some flexibility for structural stability. |
