But then the problem is that the cheapest magic items always need at least 1 day to craft, but they also need half of their cost in the raw materials to create them. So a 1000 gp magical item would need 500 gp worth of resin.

If a person has one resin mutation and level 20 of evolutionist and con 12, their resin is worth 5 gp and they can make 21 of it, so 105 gp worth of resin in a day. If they have two mutations, their resin is worth 10 gp each portion, so it is 210 gp. Three mutations make it 15 gp and it would be 325 gp. A person would need at least 5 mutations and mutator level combined with Con modifier to be at least 20 to be able to craft the cheapest magical items. This is why it seems odd to me.

You can only craft magic items with the Resin Mastercrafter PrC which grants extra instances of the mutation beyond the normal cap. And Evo is a very constitution centric class, if you have a con of 12 as a resin-using evo, quite simply you are doing it wrong.

Also crafting (magic crafting anyway) is POWERFUL. And the evolutionist quite literally poops money for it, you can't be a crafter with the most half-assed dabbling possible (one mutation and substandard constitution, please). It takes actual dedication.
