Money Making

[PastorYoda]

I am just starting the fall season in the first year, and I have only made a total of around 70,000 coins since I started. Is that a good amount. I am struggling with making money. If I plant a lot of crops then when I try and sell them the customers don't buy them all so I end up losing money. Honestly the way I am making the most money right now is by completing quests. Definitely the daily ones where I just gather some flowers and deliver them to someone.

I have bought most of the cheap things, and now the next upgrades I want to buy are going to cost like 15K-20K coins each. It just feels like it is taking for ever to make money, and I am just wondering if I am actually making a decent amount, or is there something better I can do.

I did just get the flower shop upgrade so that will open up a way to make a little more money. I have read that selling bouquet's is a good way to make money. I do have a lot of flowers stored up.

Most of the crops, if not all of them, are designed to be crafted into something before being sold. It sounds like you're still deep in early game, thus you don't have any of the fancy work benches that'll let you craft desired items. I would suggest you just keep on trucking through, it does get easier. This game is just overwhelming with how many quests it forces you to complete before unlocking things.

Selling paper is probably the best for early game imo. Once you get seeds for high valued items, just mass plant them all, preferably with fertilizer, and sell them as is. When you get bouquets with the flower workbench, it makes you even more money. Then you get seed bundlers and seed makers that makes you even more money late game.


Just endure. You'll learn real fast that bouquets are the meta. They're ridiculously overpriced in value and seed makers are overly effective. Once you get the lavenders, the game gets easier too. Just save all your money for seeds.

Also, yes, it is frustrating how slow it is to generate money from customers. It gets better as you upgrade your shop but not to the extent you will clear your whole shop in a day. I rarely get a single table cleared. I think it's designed more for the older stacking system and they just didn't update it to have a desired pace. It would be nice if some customers had the rare chance to purchase more than one item, or maybe have a chance that more customers show.

Unlocking things which make you more money is a good start - bouquets are a popular favourite for money, unlocked by purchasing the flower shop and completing Elizabeth's quests. They require paper though which means picking a lot of fibre, a byproduct of that is small bugs - which can be converted to fishing bait. The fastest way to obtain fish to sell is fishing traps, so your next unlock should probably be the fishing shack. As with most items, processing earns a better fortune: cooking the fish on a grill will earn you more coins. Crafting wood and stone which are readily available in abundance into items will earn you more coins than selling individually.
The blueprint vendor is a good option once you have plenty of bunnies to produce delicate fur as a lot of the recipes require it and sell for a decent amount of money.

Awesome, thanks for the tips, I'm loving this game but struggling with making money too

I also made money by checking every treasure chest I could find, and selling almost everything I found there, especially the articles of clothing. And yeah, cooking blueberries into blueberry pops, for instance, before I got my oven and could make more foods to sell.

Early game you can also make decent money going through the dungeon. Once you have access to that you can go there each day and earn about 5k from 10 floors worth of shards. If you can manage to do hard mode (pretty tricky as you can die very quickly) you can get around 8k in cash I believe just from doing floors 1-10. I stop at 10 in this example because back when I did this floor 10 was as deep as the dungeon went, lol.

All this comes at the cost of 3 hours time spent to go to the dungeon. And if you die you can just reset the day and try again.

As you advance a bit in the quests you’ll eventually have the ability to make bouquets. These are huge money makers early on from all the flowers you pick up (and chests also give flowers!).

Also you’ll be able to craft pies eventually from fruit you grow or forage which also sell very well.

I make my money with strawberry pie (950 gold each). This tip needs some preparation and so it is something you can work on for later game.
The Fisherman upgrade must be purchased in order to start the fishing trap questline. The final quest "Bonus Pie" rewards the recipe for Strawberry Pie.
- Wheat. You can pick this plus some random seeds near the black sheep.
- Cow milk (needs bucket).
- Chicken eggs (ferrets are a great support for auto-collecting).
- Create dough at the cooking station
- Strawberries. Find them in Spring or Summer, or in chests.
- Optimize your fields - use planters, sprinklers. Aim for the Farm plots endgame.
- Use seedmakers to keep a supply with seeds
- Create Strawberry filling at the cooking station
- Build stone ovens and bake your cake
Since farming has many options for automation you can earn a huge amount of money later on.
