Merchant Restocks

[Merguin]

So what is the general rule here?
I was thinking they need a full cicle of 7 days to restock, so that at every new visit, the merchant,astrologer etc will have their inventories reset. Same goes for the daily vendors, that they would restock after 7 days, but the Blacksmith, the Inn Keeper and the Farmer, all of the 5 above havent restocked in 7 WEEKS now. I have no idea how to progess anymore, if I cant buy/sell stuff. My farms ran out of seeds, my chests are so full of coal and graphite that I can build a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ City with it, I have so many burial certificates that I can fill 1 chest with them, and I wouldnt even dare to speak about iron,steel, silver etc... Days are back to being 100 energy days, as I cannot plant anymore crops. sure I can fish for some, but fishing is a very bad energy source...

As far as i can see their available money slowly grows over time, very slowly. I got no problems selling certificates, but i am not selling anything else to the tavernkeeper. As for seeds, you have to use silver fertilisers to get atleast 4 seeds back.

[Scullhead]

Same for me with the blacksmith. after 5-6 weeks he never restore some money anymore.

Then is the big question, how the ♥♥♥♥ should you ever gain enough gold to pay the 3rd church upgrade plus your papers? (thats 24G atm). Not a single one of the Vendors has more then 1 Silver left, I bought them all out. And I barely made 2 G, till so far off from 24G, the church cannot be your only source of income, thats a joke. It would take up to 40 weeks or more to get this money. And what do I do in this time? Just afk through it? Thats really really poor game design.

As for the seeds, Thanks for the info, but I am already so low that I cannot even plant a single crop anymore.

70-80% of the 12g i got from sermons. Maybe do your job?

like I said, it just takes so many weeks in which you can do nothing, besides wait. Which robs the game of a lot of fun :(.
It would be so easy if merchants would just restock at a fixed intervall and thats it. Dont understand whats so hard about that. Every game thats similar to this has merchants that restock. Even with living price economics. I am not saying they should put the cost of coal back to 100%, if I sold them a certain amount. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, at least give them back their money...

Hows that? I have 50 quality church, 200 graveyard and sermons gave me max 12 silvers even with pray for donations.

[Merguin]

with the combo prayer you get at least 20 silvers each. (on bronze) I am trying to get a gold one now, but its rather hard, without merchants.

Even with gold star combo prayer, the money gain is stupidly slow. I've got my church to 88 (without using incense or candles) and my grave to 380, but even then I earn about 35~39 silver each sermon.
I feel like they gimped the money earning a little too hard, I've finished almost every node on the tech tree and at this point the only thing stopping me from going any further is money. Aristocrat papers, to be precise.

And the crop sales with the merchant seems to be capped at 11 silver per gold quality crate, so also that's painfully tedious, considering the work you need to put in to keep the stock of fertilizers going.

Quit the game after you buy and sell some stuff. Re-starting the game will make things right mostly.

I try that yesterday and that did not help but after i shut down Steam and go to sleep then everything worked the nex day.

Well, you may sleep more bud ,-) lol

88 Church rating is the maximum rating you can get without incense or candles, this means your church is lvl 3 so you already have the 12g... for the papers, as you said you can do sermons.. The graveyard rating is also the one that defines the money you get. 11 silver per 22 onions is not good? or you nuts? try selling them without the crate. also you can make 10crates each week

you get up to 1g per sermon, sell burgers for 33s, wine for another 40s every couple weeks, silver nuggets for another 40. the gold is very easy to get

Actually you can get the level 3 church without papers (12g).
