I see where the confusion is. With no food, my stats are 1211, 1114, 400. (Those are no meld stats for HQ 290 - All I have are some CP melds right now)

The 1347 came from HQ steamed Grouper. (HQ steamed Grouper gives you 136 Craft and 20 CP) I've tested all 3 HQ foods at 70. Tempura Platter, Warriors Stew and Steamed Grouper and keep stacks of each. As well as old stacks of Seafood Stew and Baked Onion soup.

I still think your Rotation would work with or without that extra craft from food. That's a 10 IQ BB and would very likely get a 70 1 star to 100% quality. We can't just look at the face value of the star recipes though. We seem to take substantial penalty when doing them.

If you look at the Steamed Grouper, it has a 2952 Difficulty. The Persimmon Sushi is only 3149. That's really not that much on paper but there is a deception there because it's a whole other game. Without Ingenuity II it's pretty much impossible to finish. They use a different math with star stuff.
