Make the royal workshop actually worth it

As it stands, the royal workshop is an absolute joke and it was clearly designed by a monkey with no hands, though that might be an insult to disabled monkeys.
The only thing people care about from the workshop as it stands is the foods. The foods are amazing, and extrodinary buffs that players want to get their hands on... the issue is, you're looking at an 0.4% and 0.6% chance for the orange and yellow grade foods per day, per node. Not only this, if you do so happen to nail what is essentially a one in 200 chance per day (excluding the predatory 50 pearl reset you can do till your heart is content) you're now looking at an insane time to get the food, because it's not a 2 hour process on these foods like every other item, oh no. Take a look at this screenshot:
Now, there is something to be said about the fact it's only a level 22 professional worker, so I won't go too hard on this point as obviously it's on the high end, but even with a level 40 artisan worker with the best stats I cannot fathom it being any less than 30-35 hours.

AND THEN to top it all off, after such an agonising wait, you're presented with exactly ONE of the food items.


This HAS to and NEEDS to change. The trade crates are already completely worthless, though I'm not going to stick around to find out if the higher grade crates are worth anything. If you wanted to make what amounts to less than 100mil a day with arbitrary skill restrictions, you would be far better off using the regular crafted trade crates which craft faster and have better time to value ratios.
Simply put, The "royal workshop" is a royal waste of time.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I have all the answers on how to fix this system, but some tips:
- The trade crates should be worth easily 10-20x what they currently are - They're honestly outclassed by just regular nodes or trade crates... lets not even mention fishing.
- The food crafting times should be heavily reduced - I understand that the goal is only get one process of it when you do proc it, but making it 50+ hours is absolutely insane.
- The amount of food obtained should be raised from ONE to 10-15 of it MINIMUM.
- The predatory 50 pearl "refresh" should be removed

As it is right now, you will get more value by just sending 8 workers to regular nodes instead of this Royal Worshop.

Only reason why I have my workers invested in this is for life exp buffs, which are insanely hard to get. Hopefully PA will take some notes from first post and do some changes to this system, because right now it's a complete joke.

Afk fishing for 8 hours a day brings me from 300M on the low side, up to 4b if I'm lucky with new rare fishes. Yet this system bring 100M per day at best, and you need to invest in nodes, workers and storage. It's just doesn't make any sense.

Properly set up it'll get you around 100m/day plus the occasional rare buff with little to no input besides spending a couple seconds once a day to see if you got lucky with the rare mats/food.  All that for 6-7cp, depending on if you swipe for some storage.  14m/day/cp is quite good when compared to regular nodes.

IIrc they explicitly said it's not supposed to be a big money maker. I see the foods as a nice, occassional bonus. It's basically free after all.
