What businesses run best in which towns? (Khuzait)

[ASGAR]

So I've seen people on streams saying that different businesses are working best in specific towns.
My char is with the Khuzaits, just created that one farmed some money through trading and tournaments and now would like to open some profitable businesses. For me most important are the Khuzait cities. What businesses seem to make good money in what town?

Wont matter anymore since they patch capped workshop gain to 200.... which makes them all the same..

[ASGAR]

I have had a tannery on my previous char who had an income of 6. So how is 200 and 6 the same? xD

[Archaist]

200 is the hard limit. For example my wood workshop generates 10k per day. But because of the hard limit I can only get 200gp of that 10k whilst the value of the workshop has ballooned to 789k so I can't even sell it since no one in the town has enough money to buy it.

still doesn't answer the question

Workshops are useless now. Run caravans.

[Forseti010]

smithy and woodworks both give you 200 a day. If you can spare 15k go for a traders caravan. It wil cost you a bit early on but in like a week you will get around 800 to 1.5k a day from them

It entirely depends on what the surrounding villages are producing. You want to build a workshop to refine what ever is surplus in the local economy. But like others have said it's not really worth it right now seeing as they capped it at 200denar profit/day. I think caravans are probably the best investment rn

Do you have to manually do something to make your workshop run profit? I tried both a woodwork and velvet and both gave me negative profit.

I'm not so sure, but I think you can change workshop types from the clan menu for a couple thousand.

This is entirely wrong. I built and change 15+ workshops and found that it had nothing to do with the surrounding villages whatsoever.

Did you let them run for about a week? If your converting workshop type it takes time for them to rebuy all the needed stuff and get to work producing stuff. That could be the initial loss in money as they're buying parts and paying labour fees.

You mind explaining a little how exactly caravans work? I saw I can buy them at local traders. Do they need anything but to buy them or do they work independent?

You buy one, and leave it. That's it. You can't interact with it or do anything at all. I don't understand the mechanics behind it yet but each caravan I had eventually turned a profit. Can take a long time though.

[Enorats]

My understanding is that workshops are more profitable if the resources they use are available. Some sources say this means having villages that produce the resource linked to the town, some say buy those resources and sell them in the town to keep the town stocked with cheap raw materials.

Either way, both my wood workshops cap out at 200 without me doing anything, and while being located in towns that don't have hardwood production.. so I can't test either theory.

Look at what the bonded nearby settlements produce for that city. If you see 2 towns under that city's domain produce Olives, build an Olive press. Grain, make a Brewery. Use the resources produced by the towns, because it will be cheaper for your workshop to purchase the raw goods.
