DAVE THE DIVER / Enhancement costs
Recipe enhancement calculator
Choose your dish and levels to see the total ingredient investment and each upgrade step. These are enhancement costs, separate from ingredients consumed when cooking.
What the calculator includes
For each ingredient, an upgrade from level L to L + 1 consumes floor((batch quantity + 1) × 1.5L). The total adds every required step. Mixed fish quality changes enhancement taste gains, but does not change the number of ingredients required. The calculator therefore shows price and portion changes, without predicting taste from an unknown upgrade history.
The revenue comparison is per fully sold batch. It does not predict customer demand, profit per night, Ingredient Prep procs or payback time. One-time dishes are limited to their actual maximum level.
