Fast Way To Make Cash?
I've completed the game thus far, but I want to buy more land. What is the fastest and easiest way for me to rake in the cash?

Grind ore/rock, craft items (your choice) and sell. Sleep rinse and repeat.

Yup, I've been doing that. Just wondering if anyone has figured out what makes the best profit. I've been doing all the top paying commisions too.

Honestly I just make stone stools out of the rocks, and sell raw ores. I figure the amount of time it takes to craft any of the more valuable items I can do a couple of mine runs and make twice as much. Maybe someone else has a quicker way. I'll keep subscribed to this.

I got the Stone Stool advice in another thread and I have to say it was good. I don't even need the mines, I just smash rocks some days for marble that I need, or Nitre for other projects and make the stone into stools. It isn't a TON of money but it's good between commissions.

Iron swords sell for the most. 500 a pop. Takes iron bars and animal bones.

Aslo the Darkwood table is easy and sell for a decent amount.

Maybe you can try this: If you have many data disk, go to the church store and buy irigating floring( 1 disk) you can sell for 50G, irigation tower (10 disk) for 258G, large planter box for 178G.

Copper wire. Just do Hazardous Ruins 1-2-3-4 and you will be swimming in it. Sell to Paulie or Mars. Heck, same if you manufacture it.

That I did not know. Excuse me I have to go to church real quick. Oh I just remembered limit of items per day....thought I would make a quick 50k.

Now the fastest ways for cash are

1. - Get lots of apple slices and fruit salads
2. - Become buddies with Mint (drill)
3. - Mine a ton of ores / rock (~5-6x faster than the pick if you can maintain the stamina)
4. - Turn the CD's into - Large planters, Fertilization mats & tower, and anything else you want from that
5. - Cash the rock into stools, the rest into whatever


Essentially its just like before, only you can do it faster and the church sells more stuff

i think selling bearrings is a really good way to make money. I hate iron sword because the drop rate of bones is bad and you need 4 for 1 sword. Not to mention you need the bones for other stuff too like fertilizer and cultivated soil.... Atleast with bearrings you just need tin and then make thin alloys,

IMO, way better than Iron swords...

Didn't try the drill thing yet though but pretty sure bearrings is the way to go until that point

I just creating tons of wooden storages(hardwood to wood from tree farm)
Stools and glass from mining rock and sand
Im buying daily irrigation flooring and large planter boxes from the church.
I never sell under 120% market price most times waiting for over 130% and i skilled 10% more sell bonus.
Alone with these you can get a ton of money(i have over 1mio right now everything upraged etc.)
Sure you can also sell other stuff but i find it easy enough to generate masses of money with low efford.

Once you can get into hazardous ruins or abandoned ruins 2, I think it is hoisters, sells for 1250 Gol, which is about 400 Gol markup from the materials to create it (each of which have a small markup from the components to create them). Making 1 hoister is about as fast as making one iron sword provided you have the same number of machines (though different types are required), and the swords only good for 400 Gol which is a 150 Gol markup, and they don't stack. After you can make the fire-powered engine, then that is the best, 3600 Gol, which is a markup of about 800 Gol, if I remember correctly. Once you have Comprehensive Grinders and Comprehensive Cutters, the time to produce swings wildly in favor of hoisers/fire-powered engings.

Of course buying large planters every day to suppliment, since that doesn't take much time and is good money. If you are swimming in data discs, you could also buy and sell the irrigation tower and irrigation flooring.

There are some items that are better, but I have no idea how to get them in my workbench, such as the crystal hourglass, provided you have a number of crystal trees.
If you don't mind the repetition, assembled items (ie. your workshop tools) are the most value-added. I actually make and sell furnaces to A&G for massive boosts of money.

what are you using cultivated soil for?
i don't bother fertilizing anything, i still get production and saves me time and effort. stopped petting my animals too as the slow animation drove me nuts, i keep them fed and they produce as well.

Pair this with running a cutter with all the hardwood you get constantly and the conductive flooring makes a really good profit
