Type of ways to make money??
prob the first game i have to watch what i spend lol, every game i played i was always broke, and then next day get like tons , but here i have to watch how i spent, great love it finally a game u need money

so question is how do u make money? can u have a farm like raise baby chicks, raise horses and then sell them, that in yet?

i was piss off that u click 1 rock and the stam is gone, i was like what 0o, at first, maybe it gets better with time, i added the unlimited stam and having a blast, that should be a option later, anyway mining might be a way to make money, i `m at the building the bridge and not able to mine iron yet

is mining , farming, doing quest seems to pay ???, just expanding the lot that cost a fortune

oh i just saw i wasn`t upgrading the item in a mission, that is a plus

Making money is tougher this time. Sandrock isn't as prosperous as Portia.

The safest bet I've found is commissions and lots of them. When your workshop increases in rank, you can do mulitple commissions each day. I'm currently on three commissions each day.

Pay extra attention to the commission board on Fridays. Yan or the Free Cities sometimes post a really nice commission that day, especially the one for the water tower is really juicy. If you get a really good commission, try to upgrade the quality of the finished item using the Refiner. That gives a bit of extra cash.

You need to research the Refiner and Ore Refinery to set this thing up properly; the Refiner to upgrade finished items and the Ore Refinery to get stuff to fuel it.

Take advantage of when you buy a one week pass for the scrap yard; mine resources every day you pay for the pass and keep at least two recyclers busy with churning out materials for you. Once you've paid for the pass you only spend time, energy and fuel to extract resources from the scrap, not any more money.

Stamina: Stamina is hard to come by especially in the early game. As your level up character you get more HP and more stamina and as you level up the workshop, you can add more furniture that allows your stats to increase further. The game sometimes calls stamina "ability power", it's mostly some of the relics that raise player stamina.

Taking out one rock (in Single Player) no matter the type will not take out one stamina bar.

Now that the Hyperbole monster has been fed; In the early game Stamina is a very real concern. It's best to priortize commissions that pay good money (200 gols is good money starting out). Using money to pay for meals at the Blue Moon is your best investment. The specials will usually get you 2-3 stamina per gol spent.

When you run out of stamina for the day try roaming the town and area talking to people. Some will give you stuff. Look for treasure chests which may give you good stuff.

In answer to your question doing commissions gives you the most money. Getting your workshop going (getting a few Recyclers and Furnaces will allow you to do more.)

With better tools and better gear you will find stamina becomes less a concern, but it takes time and yes money (to expand your yard (mostly) and build up your house.

Experience (actual play time) will teach you which commisions require the least resources and time for the payout. Since we don't know which commisions you will roll on a daily basis...we can't advise you every step of the way. Haveing reserve resources stockpiled is the best advice I can give.

ty, i`m finding out stamina is a real pain when u start, expanding the lot is about only 600-700 k 0o, that 200 gols will not get me far lol, i got it to lv 6, but i tried to update the items higher lv for commision w/o getting higher bonus money, will have to test this again, yes i might need moire machine to fork out more stuff, at 2 per machine right now and no access yet to iron ore, building the bridge is close by i think, i got a bp from Q, so hoping to get it done, amazing game, just a bit annoyed about the begaining stamina, i added unlimited stamina to test out , tons of fun now lol, but i might be missing out on stuff, will test it again when i get higher lv

The game is supposed to be a challenge and if you use mods they might break the game. Mods aren't supported and many of them are of poor quality. But you do you.

i used weemods, there are nice, never had any prob with any of the weemods yet for all the 10000 of games i got, i only use it for mostly early access that i find stuff that is off or impossible to get through, reason i do play tons and tame my time, so i might be in low lv for a long time, means no stamina to do much for a while, i`m a slow poke for doing a game, reason is i played tons of tons of games for the last 30 years and do work from home, so i play 6+hrs at work and maybe 3-4 hrs at night, yep i do play games, i think i can called a nerd lol, but used to be a jock lol, so reason for mods, is slow going for myself and got to be careful not to over do it, cheats will get the game done faster , i only use the unlimited stam and jump 2 feet now instead of 2 inches hehe
