best way to make money long term?
thinking of making a bunch of money by selling cheese but someone got 4 million dollars selling bananas
and 1 wattle brew is worth 18 bananas so i'm not really sure what to do
my idea:
vombats produce two things
vombat poo: compost bin to turn into fertilizer for corn, corn to grain mill for animal feed to feed vombats
milk: cheese maker and sell the cheese
auto silo feeds vombats


P.S. making a list of all your ideas so you can vote for which one you want, comment which one you think is the best way
cooked apples selling to jimmy
fruit trees cook them turn them into fruit salad and sell to jimmy
selling cooked apples
fairy bread to ted selly
metal detecting and fishing
brewing
cheese-ing
cloth making
quarries
buy lime from john cook it resell it for more
mining gems
beekeeping
hunting
selling bread

Once you have a large crop area setup with lots of sprinklers then Fairy bread becomes a great source of Dinks, just wait for rainy days to sell.

Ya, I do the apples. Just created an orchard and every 6 days, cook them all and sell them Nice passive income.

But making bread then fairy bread is such a grid without mods

not heard of any cheese-selling or brewing so far so that doesnt seem to be the best option.
so far it seems fruit orchards selling to jimmy is the best idea

I actually quite like metal detecting, and fishing for barracudas XD it's not a super fast money maker, but I'm a slow/paced person LOL

Kegs are arguably the lowest effort to make a lot of money. Wattle brew sells for over $9k with the commercial licenses. Once you get the wattle farm up, it's low effort high reward to the point the dev made kegs harder to get as so many of us were using it to make obscene money with very little effort. Cheese making isn't bad, but it requires wombats and that's a sizable dink investment early on.

Orchards take a lot of time to generate the same kind of money. You have to harvest thousands of fruit to generate the same kind of money two dozen kegs will generate.

seriously, get a pleeps... a lot of pleeps
and some wool maschines.
every day you can get 6.695 dinkum with 1 piece of clothes, that you make over night with 1 wool and a wool maschine.
collect at least 50 and hope that jimmy comes around, to double the price.
fore the pleeps you dont need to do a lot to gain wool.
just pet them a few days and the wool starts to grow.
also build a silo for automated feeding.

imagine you have 10 pleeps.
everyday you can earn 66.980 dinks minus 1.000 dinks if you buy food from irwin. brings you a plus of 65.980 dinks only by colecting the wool, that toke you like... 1 minuite? bring them to jimmy and you get a profit of 132.960 every day.

and like i said: its SUPER easy money!


also quarrys are a good thing to have too.
bit expensive and nothing for early game but when you have at least 10-15 quarrys its a self running system. earning you enough ressources and dinks to build a new quarry every day and with every new quarry, you get a lil bit more profit.
and collecting the stuff is pre fast and easy too.
i have over 30 right now and oh boy, sometimes i get matterials worth over 100k every day with 2 minuites of work every day ^^

oh and another not very effective methote to get money, but a lil fun fact:
you can buy lime from john for 180 and resell the cooked one for 190.

get 4 grills, a windmill to speed them up and with a key board with marco funtion or with authotkey you can make yourself a afk cooking farm.

can easiely make over 50.000 dinks profit per day and all afk ^^

But why?...pretty soon Dinks become meaningless.. You get a Milestone for 11 Million Dinks, then anything above and beyond is goalless ..I have 0ver 300 Million Dinks and nothing to spend them on - I throw 10 Million a week in the recycle bin,(which is emptied every thusrday) just to get rid of it.

auto silo feeds vombats
(my idea of money making)
P.S my town is called cheese city so thats why i enjoy cheese

Cloth is another good one to sell. Your Pleeps will give you the wool, then spin it to cloth. But the most money to make passively or with little work is Apple Orchard.

I prefer to go into the mines and get tons of gems and mass sell those
