Best way to make money

[Hand]

What is your opinion the best way to make money in this game?

[M.K.]

"Best" is a very difficult question, as it depends on a lot of subjective measurements.

Easiest: If you have an abundant source of wood, make wooden small statues. Millions of them.

*every* trader will buy them. The market never gets saturated.
The source material is (usually) very cheap and abundant.
The profit-per-workhour is not too bad.
The skill required is maintained by itself. Unlike most of the drugs, for example.
Short-ish production time, so your pawn tends to not get locked into a longterm project and missed sleep, etc. the way they will when making bigger jobs.
End product is pretty light per value, so it is very feasible to send a caravan out to sell surplus.

what i like to do is mass produce cotton and then just make a mass load of button down shirts. a really good crafter can make a easy 100$+ per shirt and cotton is really easy to grow especially with hydrophonics. Also a good way to equip your colony with the best clothing

I fund everything with huge smokeleaf farms currently.
Needs a lot of land to ensure you have a big enough supply to roll joints until next season and needs a lot of freezer and indoor space for the raw product, too. When harvesting it will rot outdoors quickly so it must be harvested and hauled indoors and in a freezer fairly quickly.

But, the finished product has good value and is light for caravans to carry around to sell.

The wooden sculpture idea is great and far easier to manage if you have an artist or three and lots of wood. Save some jade, marble, silver or even gold in case one of them gets an inspiration and can make something even more valuable.

I usually have fantastic growers over every other profession. Taking what Hand said, I usually do something similar, but I make devilstrand parkas. A high quality devilstrand parka can sell for a ton. Though, I usually have little issue with money as I always sell off anything I have in abundance and/or dont need.

If u hunt animals, u must have tons of leathers. Make hats, parkas, any gears from your surplus leather and sell it. If you have 2 tamed alpaca (male & fem) soon you will have tons of wool.
Usually I'm use clothes to make money.

Manufacture/farm anything valuable that you are able to make in bulk and able to sell to most traders such as chem fuel, old clothing, artwork, food, medicine/drugs/beer... and animals. You should be able to buy everything you want from most traders and trade away your goods until you've leeched every silver from them.

[pmutzu]

Well depending on if you mod or not. either selling crops ,or getting the quarry or mine mod. and simply mining silver directly.

Prisoner organs. They are high value, train your doctors, and you agitate the neighbours enough that they keep sending you more. Mood debuff sure, but just use the money to fund the posh lifestyle so colonists can look the other way about their means
