Feed the Scorchpot Tier List Hub

These lists rank roles, not every Codex name. Feed the Scorchpot randomizes island tiles and shop offers. An S-tier even die is trash on an odd farm. Read the caveats, then open the child pages.

• Buildings tier list — what to stamp on a corner.
• Recipes tier list — what to cook.
• Dice tier list — what to put in the tray.

How to use a tier list in this game

1. Survey your seed for two live numbers (Island Layout).
2. Rank only the shop cards that match that seed.
3. Ignore S-tier cards that want a food you do not grow.
4. Re-rank after a tantrum burns a peninsula.

If you want definitions instead of ranks, use the Items hub. If you want the loop, use the Guides Hub. If you want to test a tray before you believe a dice rank, use Dice Odds.

What “S” means here

S means “takes this job in most default contracts.” It does not mean “always buy.” A matching C-tier recipe can outscore an S-tier spice card you cannot pay. The child pages repeat that warning because it is the whole skill.

Launch reviews (GameGrin, GamesHedge, RPGamer) agree on the loop and disagree on how mean late years feel. These lists follow the public math: Fodder times Flavor times Essence, farms on corners, dice as bias. When a patch adds twenty more cards, trust the Codex first, then this hub.

Sibling ranks

Read buildings, then recipes, then dice, in that order. A tray cannot save a grocery. A recipe cannot save a farm on 2. The walkthrough is the calendar that tells you when to stop ranking and start cooking.

Why three lists beat one mega-table

A single spreadsheet that ranks every Codex card would go stale the first time the shop adds a stew. Three role lists stay useful: buildings are geography, recipes are the meal, dice are weather. If you only open one child page, open buildings when the island is empty and recipes when you already farm. Dice last is not an insult to dice. It is the order the game pays you.

Press comparisons to Catan and Balatro are a reminder, not a homework assignment. You do not need a poker-chip tray. You need two live numbers, one matching cook, and the honesty to skip an S-tier name that does not pay. Launch coverage from GameGrin and GamesHedge agrees the loop is addictive; it does not agree on a universal best harbor. That disagreement is healthy. Your seed is the tie-breaker.

If a friend asks for “the tier list,” send them this hub and the warning in the first paragraph. If they still stamp a 12 farm on fair dice, send them the Mark Planner. Arithmetic is ruder than a ranking.
