Everything is too expensive or not expensive enough (Materials-wise)

[Tymander]

Is there any way to get larger amounts of wood, or rarer things like geodes/truffles without importing, and if not is there a way to automate importing. I've unlocked all potions and buildings and have a huge stockpile of resources, so I'm pretty much spending all my time in menus rn, unable to get consistent material chains set up and I'm pretty much spending the whole in-game day as a pack mule transporting items, and if I forget to import when I wake up and collect the free money from mail, I have to get stung by bees to skip a day to start up my production again.

Also trees do not drop nearly enough wood, or they don't grow back fast enough. My trees I chopped day 1 are still not grown in yet, so I chopped all the stumps to make sure and its just been saplings for the last ~3 hours or so. I'm almost completely out of natural wood except the saplings that drop 1-2 logs. It's mostly the furnaces eating it b/c bottles (I'm unable to import enough bottles to keep production chains active) I wish there was an upgraded (expensive) furnace that didn't need wood like the kiln.

Also potions don't make enough money, I thought making expensive potions would be more profitable, but after unlocking the forest ruins teleportal I found that I can make 30k - 40k a day just harvesting mushrooms. while potions will make only a couple thousand if I have enough bottles.

How do you get money from mushrooms? Don't you need to transform them into potions to make money from them?

Also you are right, I am having a bad time getting wood and unlocking buildings (as I can't get money at all... always needing like 10k coins while making 1k a day)

Harass the bag goblin until you get a quest to build a "Cargo Lift". It lets you sell anything (and buy some items, but much more limited)

Ahh, thank you for the cargo lift tip. Do you progress to the forest ruins teleportal by completing quests for Odie?

[Salamander]

Not exactly.
Ruins teleportal is past odie (so just the quest to get him out of the way), past the broken bridge (you can only repair it from the side, not the front of the bridge).
When you go through the long path to get there, the main entrance is blocked by trees - normal entrance is slightly north-west through a giant hollow tree stump.
Or do what I did and not realise it's there, instead teleporting straight through the blockage with wizard's space bar ability.

One of the ingredients to repair it is Life Lemons, found in the same area - make sure to immediately collect enough to repair it, because unless I'm missing something, they do not respawn and the only other way to get them is level 3 herb shop imports.

No, there's no quick way to get the rarer materials I'm afraid, you have to just farm those up manually.

If you're going to farm for geodes, unlock the 3rd pickaxe upgrade first so you can use your special an infinite number of times. For gathering Glo Bugs and White Knights, make sure to cook centipedes/beetles in the furnace and eat the bug mash that they make for a harvesting boost.

Mama spiders seem to be impossible to speed up because you just have to wait for strawberry bushes to spawn back and that's so limited and slow.

Making cheap low level potions is never going to net much of a profit I'm afraid. Those things are barely worth the materials they're made out of. Or as you've discovered, not worth it at all. Silver bottles with Mighty + Balanced + Optimal Material T2 and T3 potions are actually worth the materials they're made with.

Prices of all resources are still being balanced. Tree growth (and all other growth) has been fixed in today's patch, and more sticks drop for Charcoal.
