SILVER COINS ?? HELP

[Reto_Gamer_2021]

A question. HOW DO YOU GET SILVER COINS ? I cannot work out how to do this, watch some videos and appear automatically when construction certain buildings not happen now and now say in help Menu you can get silver coins via Grocery Store which has been removed from the Tech Tree !!!, SO how on earth are you mean to get Silver coins this not explained very well and make trading very hard if not impossible the tutorial does not help and no up to date videos on how meant to get them. This has made my experience of the game more difficult of what appeared at first a very good game, Any help on How to get Silver coins would be gratefully received Thank you.

Trading with Factions , can just sell things to them to get silver coins

Thanks for reply @ hottochoco but this not explained either and not sure how to do that ?

build a trading post, then you need to create a caravan with what you wanna sell/buy, they will bring back the difference. The caravan takes a bout a year to travel, and you will need quite a few people for it (else they die on route, and you lose the goods.

you can make coins from silver after a very long tech tree or trade with factions.
but, yes, it is very difficult to make money, long time and great efforts. not smooth at all
basically, this game is an ea game.

Thanks for the replies LongMustache and Neal, will have restart the game after several hours of play. Should be easy to get silver coins in my view and I feel this difficult has altered my opinion of the game which look good few months ago now more difficult. Thanks again :-)

not true at all. you dont need tech at all to get coins. Trading posts are available from the start, and you can trade anything, for example animal dung ( which you dont need early) for coin. The ONLY requirement is to have 6-8 people available.

Thanks for reply LongMustache Got trading post so will try what you say in comment, however a better tutorial or video to show new players how to do this would be helpful. Thank you again

I agree that the new Tech and Trade tutorial didn't explore the trading post enough--I think they just had you build it?

For those who miss the ease of the grocery store minting coins in the early game is really a good option. It's a good option for those who want to trade with caravans too.

Mine 62 silver ore and trade that with the small caravan to buy the 40 building kits and 80 oil you need to build the Mint (which turns 1 silver ore into 40 silver coins). And then you can just relax at home making money, buying things from the dock it you want, while you build your city until you're ready to trade for some of the really nice faction reputation rewards.

I have a trading let's play if anyone is interested. Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJFNfDNC-b2Y4hIkMtAfLJ3doxxgvsDbo

Although trade is open from the start, I don't think it is worth to use 6-8 manpower to do so.
Considering of the price of new seeds and animal about 20000 coins, early trade is kind of distraction.

Maybe someone would think up a smart way to do early trading. buy building materials such as bricks and build a theater very early

@Neal: That sounds like a guide ... this game definitely inspires guides.

There is certainly plenty of knowledgeable players who post regularly.

research the dock, build it with wood stone, iron. wait for the merchant ship

[Reto_Gamer_2021]

Thanks for your reply @ schorsch. Building the docks is not a problem, but silver coin is ! Because when trade ship arrives you need silver coins to trade with it, which original I could not work out how to get them hence the question. But Now I know thanks.
