Tips for big money?

[Včelí medvídek]

Ok, situation is this - I play with 50% margin and had good time due that - it is not simple half profit but the whole game and farm development was way way slower than usual due less money to reinvest on fly.

Playing without any mods and want to finish the run like that.

But now I am in Y4 and closing to wrap up for Perfection which is my target - in fact I have almost everything done. even done enough qi quests for most things and recipes already (missing like 2 last recipes which I will get in one or two more quests) and need just dinosaur for valley hero (=few cave mine runs to get the dinosaur floors)

But the bottlneck for perfection is money.. normally i would be probably more than fine at this point but atm my total earnings so far are "only" close to 6M, I spent 2M for scepter, 1M for casino statue.. but now I need in total about remaining 13M for all obelisks and Gold clock.

Biggest income is from wine (having ancient fruit greenhouse), but it is still "only" ~150 k for full large shed of ancient fruit or starfruit (which btw I do not have enough for cover all wine production and I usually use peaches I planted in greenhouse for fill gaps). Atm finishing 2nd large shed for wine. Having also jars and making crystalarium shed (so far about 60 machines there), rest of rpofit is from animal prodcuts like cloth and truffle oil.. but all in all my average daily income outside wine is like 20k + 2x20 (wine) = in total I am mabe touching 60k/day.. so for my 13M I would need play some 220 more days.. so its is like 2 more in game years at least... I guess that eventually i will just sleep it through only for starfruit harvests and wine making, but as it will probablys till take couple real hours I am just looking if I dont overlook something good that is also managable in reasonable in game time (already run around everything take a lot). Ofc at this stage i have lot of options and I am also familiar with most game mechanics.

you could grow pineapple in sheds but at half it would only be 630g for its wine

Greenhouse full of Ancient Fruit, turn to wine and sell without aging. It's not worth the time to age. You're already doing that so keep it going :)

Two barn full of pigs with a big area and let them forage for truffle. Get the Gatherer/Botanist professions for a chance at double truffle AND they are iridium-star. You don't even have to turn to oil as an iridium truffle is 1,250g whereas the truffle oil with artisan is 1,491g. So if you don't want to make Oil Makers, it's fine to just sell them as forages.

If you want to make use of aging caskets, get barns full of cows and turn the cheese into iridium-star. Going from gold to iridium star takes 7 days. A 5-star happy cow will always give you gold cheese AND cows give milk daily.

Ginger Island's farm full of Starfruit to turn to wine OR create a massive Beehive farm. The amount of space you get is enormous which should give you a lot of money from the honey, and wine as well.

If you plan on keeping those crystalarium, either do diamond or ruby. Diamond for money, ruby for spicy eels. Spicy eel is one of, if not the, best food to eat for general use. Speed + Luck is ALWAYS a good idea.

Started pineapples already as it is better value than peaches for time I do not have enough startfruit/ancient fruit to fill all kegs but it is not major change as I see it.

Hmm, atm I am aging wine / The cheese frequency is nto something I like.

With animals I actually started sheeps as they are easy to collect (thats what I dislike msot on truffles) and iridium wool turn into 2 cloths,

Yeah I use diamonds for profit. I have enough eel food for rubies without need to use crystalarium but invest for buy resources is not so great with 50% margin and there is still irridium need (though atm I miss more gold) so I expand those bit slowly.

Beehive farm sound interesting. Never did it in some larger scale but what discourage me that harvest some hudnerds without Scythe must be a pain:p

As someone who had a farm with 900+ crops and nearly 150 beehives without mods or quality of life back when this game released, what makes it worth it is the money you get lol. But honestly, play how you want. You could make it so most of the ginger island farm is starfruit and on the sides there are beehives. Best of both worlds and you never really make anything massive, just think of it as a smaller farm you visit every now and again.

fill the entire ginger island farm with ancient fruit, or starfruit if you are willing to put in more effort. make sure you have enough kegs to keep up.

if its spring and you have spare seeds you can also fill the entire regular farm with ancient fruit.

I meant more that running through maze of beehives is not exactly same as harvest big open area of crop.

But ye, I can do something with Island farm , so far I just plant there 100 tarots for occasional weekly and about 60+ pineapples which i am growing as I get new seeds (could possibly use seed maker to mass produce). Also couple exotic fuit treees but as I do not check them so regularly they are not worthy so much..

Btw one thing I jsut noted doing Qi mines quest - I use parrot 4 trinket and gosh, the gold is just raining (and ti is nto affected by lower margin:p) for manage my farm and go mine rest of day and I got well over 50 k there - every second monster drop 250-2k gold quite regularly. With loot it is decent profit activity.

with the new meadows farm you also get a dehydrator in the mushroom cave, It can be used to dry other products besides mushrooms which will increase your profit margin.

In fact not so much.. for common moshrooms I get like 120g only.. of course it is better with more valuable but it stay quite minor (and profit is lower for fruit than jar.. only if one has super pelnty of eg blueberries that can not be processed I would say it is good to utilize dehydrators.

crystallariums are the best. they can just give you infinite diamonds
