Money in winter?

[Grandad]

Whats the best way to make money in winter, or I should say IS there a way to make a lot of money in winter?

If you have Kegs and Preserves and have crops from the rest of the year stored away, you can make money by turning the crops into jelly/pickles and wine/juice/beer

If you have a greenhouse you can raise crops at whatever time of year.

If you have winter seeds you can raise winter forage plants

There are several possibilities ;)

[Einzelkampf]

get a fair amount of winter forage, and grow them as crops if you can craft the seeds. otherwise, fishing, mining, foraging. winter is usually spent by people upgrading tools and building relationships

or, animal produce, and Greenhouse may also count. but for greenhouse, it's better if you have a seed maker, so you can get a crop and still replant it later, if it is a single-harvest crop

How much do the winter seeds generally get ya?

[CatPerson]

If in first year, hoe the ground areas and get some winter forage yams and ... whatever the other one is, as well as the pickable forage. You can use them to craft winter seeds (if you've reached the point where it's available in your craft menu) or just sell them directly. If you hoe enough, you can make a decent income (nothing MAJOR, but ok for 1st year winter income) doing nothing but that. Course it gets boring.

If you craft enough winter seeds you can just keep on farming like usual.

Tappers are slow but if you can make a lot of them and stick them on spare trees, they help some as well.

For example around 30 how many would that make. Because I already have them stored because of the community centre thing.

Go dig the beach if you ahve upgraded hoe. Net you 3-4 k a day. and pick up all crocus and crystal fruit you find, craft all seeds you can, fertilize and farm the ♥♥♥♥ out of it whilst you can. 3-4 week you will be swimming in cash :D

Also save all crystal fruit and make wine from it.

[Draygo]

Winter seeds just grow the forageable stuff. You could mine and look for gems, duplicate diamonds in the crystalareium, tappers on trees, fish..or yeah, greenhouse and animal products.

I was typing the below before I saw your other post - misunderstood.
If I recall correctly it was 10 Wild Seeds for each craft. And you'd need Foraging Lvl7 to be able to do it.

If you have it in your crafting menu, there's a little red number in a lower corner that tells you how many per.

Snow Yams (hoeing) and Crystal Fruit are worth the most, if sold as-is/"raw." Basic no-star version is 100 and 150, respectively. Like any Wild seeds, if you plant them, which ones you get are random. No way to control which type. Crystal Fruit seemed to pop up the least often, when I was trying it.

Dangit, misunderstood again. I haven't slept.

30 "packets" from the Community Center is 30 plants of varying type. Just like 30 corn seeds = 30 corn plants.

Around 40k for 200 planted seeds. Not worth it.

Hoeing the beach, thats something I havent tried yet.

I did my winter money with harvesting forage and fish.

[OneTrickPony]

As others have said hoeing the beach is a good way to make money.
The way I do it, is starting to dig one tile at the time as close to the water as possible, as soon as u find root/clay/fruit dig upwards in a straight line, all the tiles upwards will drop whatever u found in the first tile.

So basicly, dig along the shoreline, dig upwards when u find items, then move up one tile and repeat.

Yeah, its an exploit i guess, but not super game breaking imho.

Earns you 10-20k on a good day.

Edit: afaik it works wherever u can use the hoe (at least the places ive tried)

[Kurzidan]

Cave, Greenhouse, Alternative produce creation, foraging, spelunking, fishing, crabbing.

Additionally.
Go to someplace like the desert or beach, Start hoeing the ground (Possible that bombs may work to "hoe", I do not know if they reduce the chance of finding things)

Then use pickaxe to undo the farmplot/resettle the land

then hoe again
repeat
Eventually you'll RNG a new drop
(Probably best to do this on lucky, luck food ingested days)
Dumpster dive -> you can get nothing, trash or unbelievably useful meals which can sustain your actions, or be sold, and potentially you can find ores and the like.

Quarry is part of spelunking, beach is part of foraging/fish/crab
