Game Breaking Money

[Spawnface]

I am surprised I havent seen somebody mention this yet. Theres a way to get all the money you could want, it's almost like cheating. First you need to get the smithy unlocked and get your hands on about a thousand gold. Go to the smithy town at the south east part of the map. build a smithy and a craft station outside of its borders. Go to the vendors, Jan and manimir. Buy all his copper and bring it back to the smithy for refining. buuild knives and sell them back to them. buy more until you can either build better grade items or have bought everything in the stores. If you need the stores to restock save and reload the game. a few vendors in the game replenish stck every save and reload. with 7 days to a season you can easily get over 100,000 by summer.

Well its a single player game, its up to the individual whether they want to cheese the game or not.

Not that the cash matters that much other than animals and buying hunting locations you barely need a few thousand on you for most of the game till your village starts to get near max size and your taxes get higher but by that point you should have multiple sources of income from your village and the market stalls.

It's not really cheating even if you reload the game. The store probably carries about 40000 profit after you buy it all out and sell everything. it's not cheating to buy stuff in the game. It's best to buy everything from everywhere because everything makes a profit once refined. the only reason why I dont go mentioning buying out linen and wool is because the stores dont provide much supply.

Personally id rather carry a few hundred g on me. I didnt want to spend too much time on this game farming for mundane things. thats for the peasants.

Congratulation, you made use of the ingame 'economic'

(The only thing that comes as a suprise is the trader-restock on reload. Don't think that is how it is supposed to be?)

Wow, so there is something you can learn. And here i Thought you were just a pretentious know it all that knew everything. I am surprised you wouldnt have known that almost no one has mentioned it thus far.... It's almost like I already made that point...oh wait!

At that point if you spam craft for hours using a cheaty method "just to not have to work anymore" just use cheat engine and give yourself infinite money and be done with the part you do not like.

7 days for 100.000 coins isn´t realy fast or easy. Its easy to get it with one day work (without idle crafting) and one day travel around the map to collect all money from the vendors. Money making isn´t really hard in the game, if you want go to maximum, only limited by vendors coins, without saveabuse.

these are dumb arguments. Why do people gotta act offended like I'm ruining their game? Whats behind all this idiocy? I know I triggered some sort of geeky soft spot

How many vendors stall you own? All vendors around the map have about 40 000 coins all together per season.

Its not cheating - its exploiting. Can't see the benefit myself. The first time you really need more money than is readily accumulated during the process of building a village, is when its time to buy a horse, and you can't do that until youv'e progressed enough to unlock the stables, so advancing towards that goal makes more sense and don't get hung up on getting rich too soon. Of course if its more fun to just get rich then nobody will stop you.

don´t worry, i think nobody is offended. Its a single player game, if you enjoy those gameplay, have fun with it. If you think its ruin the game, it´s your own choice to use it.
But its not necessary to use something like that to get rich in the game. Its not hard.

In your opening post you did state 2 things:

1. 'Money is to be made from buying/crafting/selling'. This I can confirm. But instead of that acknowledgment, I went ahead with my attempt at a good natured joke. That obviously misfired. If did offend or insult you with that, I feel sorry and apologize for that.
In my game I unlocked the tavern in year 7 or 8. Up to that point I had collected some 200k worth of coins and thought me doing well. In the next 3 or 4 years I crafted that much wine from bought fruits and clay, that I unlocked 'show me the money' for being millionaire in year 11 (I think). I am not telling this to boast or for being once more pretentious, but for you to relate to where my joke came from.

2. 'Some vendors restock their inventory on reload.' That truly was new to me, as I already said. But I have to admit, I never saw a reason to do a reload after some trading so that possibility never crossed my mind. You are to be applauded for finding this exploit.
And I like to use a convenient glitch or exploit now and then...

I really thank you for this post, as it teaches me something more. This seems to be your natural reaction to anyone not standing in awe to your sayings. Stupid me, for feeling irritated and ashamed after your (first) reply to me...

Re-reading the opening post several times I finally realised that the post is better viewed as a bug report not a complaint that there is a fast easy way to make money. The bug being described is in the second and third to last sentences … that is if you save and reload then you find certain vendors have restocked every time.
I know that the vendors restock upon season change. I haven’t found that they restock within default three day season … but I don’t know if they restock if you play with more days in your season. But to me it does sound like a bug if some restock after a reload … especially if it’s only some vendors as that doesn’t seem an intentional piece of coding by the developers. So probably worth writing a bug report about the vendors that restock after a save / reload so the developers can check it out and fix if not intentional.

Thank you very much for reporting this bug. Would have taken us years to find it, good work.
Will be fixed with one of the next patches. :)

I'd like to respond to people directly but i"m computer illiterate enough as to be unknowladgeable as how to do so. But I'll manage to the best of my willing capacity. Starting with Alivesince1961.

I would assume you might be veiling a second meaning behind what you are asking. You ask how I can exceed the total limit of the merchants store capacity. The answer is simply that I was lazy and didnt take down to many specifics as to when I discovered you could just buy everything and it would reload after save. I don't really know how much profit you aquire after fully buying out the mine stores inventory and since it accumialtes after saves it's pssible that it carries a riddiculous amount of goods. Still you dont gain enough gold past one season through selling out all stores too get past x amount but you can habve enough iinventory to sell stock forever, provided that the store had that amount of stock.

In defence of my inaccuracies I dont really know or care about the specifics. I said less than a season because it seemed less intimidating for whatever reason to say it as such. I don't dont the exact amount of repeating you could do by doing this but i'm sure you could sae and reload so many times that the stores stock was seemingly infinite. You could probably start the game from scratch and have these stores stockipiled to absurdity.

Ya, I somewhat agree, but it depends on what you want to do. Personally I adopted the style of setting up shop outside of every town and simply buying everything and selling it back. Exp took a long time to aquire before I just raise the customizzation settings. I wouldn't have wanted to play the game if I had to play pure vanilla and having the abiliyty to gain exp buy crafting allowed me to skip the long proceess and simply craft myself into final game. I personally only wanted to play the game to build a ool looking town, I dont have any interest in just grinding. So because of that having tonnes of money was crucial as I would buy everything from every store every season that I could craft.
