How much money should I be making?

[smac]

I was just watching a streamer who was in winter in year 1 and he had 500,000g! Im in fall year 1 and I know that there is no way that Ill have this much by winter. How I make money is that at the beginning of the season, I buy a bunch of crops (usually around 160 crops) and I plant them and sell them. I have a few chickens that make me some money with their eggs. Am I doing something wrong??? how does this streamer have so much more money than I do??? Help!

More crops. Upgrade your watering can and tools so you can handle watering more crops. Find stardrops.

Well, if you want to make more money you probably shouldn't sell raw crops, but process them into pickles, jam, juice or beverages. You need to put a bunch of barrels (lots! actually, so a little bit grinding involved) everywhere (you can place em outside too) and fill em up with you harvest.

Nope. You are not.

You can make more money, though. Mackenzie's points are one way to go about it (MOAR FARMING). Sprinklers will help you maintain much higher crop volumes.

You can also start "transitioning" towards artisan goods. Kegs and Preserves Jars are both good to have. Bee Houses can be handy, as well (give them a nearby flower to boost the honey value).

So buy more crops, craft more kegs/jars, upgrade tools to make farming easier? Gotcha, thanks all.

But also what is a stardrop?

If you get kegs, wine wine and more wine

There are 7 you can find. They increase your max energy permanently by +34 points. I suggest diving deep into the mines for your first one. Very, very deep.

It is a tool that increases your max energy. There are multiple in the game

The more farming you do the more recipes you'll unlock for crafting. Honestly I'm doing a potato rush in year two spring because they're fast growing. (five days total) and cheap to buy seeds for. Really though sprinklers are a godsend.

So invest in sprinklers, got it

The way to maximize profit that early in the game is by using guides / be a wikiboy, which in my opinion ruins the game. I feel that the point of this game is trying all kind of crops, analyze them to plan in the future harvests, etc. My first year was more about exploring and discovering, chatting with the villagers rather than amassing wealth, I'm sure I was poor as heck by the first winter with not even 1/10th of the wealth of that guy you are mentioning.

As for discovery I feel this game, in the early game, floods you with tons of goals, new places, people, stuff to craft and gather at the beginning that it's so hard to process at the same time while lategame you end up in a position where there's no goal and the "secrets" end up being just plain dissapointing

in this game, there are nothing wrong with what ever we do...
some might just kept everything for sake of cooking, or even just for the sake of have it in stock.. and not make much money as everyone else.

some might just try to maximise money making and try to min max everything...

some might have fun talking, mining, fishing and dont really care how much they are making

from my experience, my first run was normal run ... i made around 300k by yr.1 and somehow i read about grandpa candle thingy before the fixed... so i mass everything up and by late of second yr i manage to have over 2.5m earning (with around 1 million cash available)

but by that time, the game starting to loose interest for me ... until one of my friend making new challenge,

the condition are 1. side with joja to get the achievement (complete all the bundle) 2. marriage with largest house 3. make 1 million at minimum in first year.

in this new test run, by egg festival i made 20k so far, now stop playing and doing some calculation on how to min max everything, 1m is quite easy if you try to calculate it... i probably achieve this in fall and probably thinking if i can make 2m or not...

one of my friends, he is a medical scientist in real life, he doing the experiment on quality fertilizer and speed, which one is more profitable on each type of crops lol

at the end, you can try to do anything , it just a game , so have fun.

btw, SRY for bad english ... but if you need easy money, try make 100 preserve jar (keg might slow mass due to need of oak raisin in this new patch) and plant ancient fruit or starfruit in greenhouse .. and u will see 20k 30k everyday is nothing.... (hops for keg if you can mass them)

Just going to add. Some has downloaded mods in there game. So that person may have a click on the button to get easy money too X)

I'm making approx 200-250k a month.

I keep everything I harvest and sell it all at on 28th-1st. (Milk, eggs made to cheese / mayonnaise) Wool made to cloth etc as I work toward.

Getting loads of Sprinklers to help watering your crops is ideal, but also unlocking the Green house (Can be tricky, but quite doable), or get the Joja membership (Not sure how that works, as I don't like Joja :p)

Getting some of those machines that duplicates gems, is a good idea, as you're literally making free money all year around with those. I got 4-5 making diamonds :P
