Money - Vegetable Crate spam

[Brucius]

Is this really the best option for making money early on? Kinda kills the fun for me a bit.

Not at all - you can easily tap into a LOT of money-making methods early-on. In fact the easiest way to cover your early-game OC costs for upgrades is by selling the furniture that spawns inside your tenement. RM is a little more tricky at the beginning, as you'll need to progress through questlines if you want some big one-off payments, and also a renewable merchant for RM.

There's also always the money exchange in the Kolhola building. If you are desperately in need of one currency and have a surplus of the other - you can always exchange it!

Yeah, ofc. I am doing that, selling items acquired by cleaning apartments. And I am changing money in Kohola building. :) Just saying that crafting and selling veggie crates is "best" steady source of income early on. Just feels tedious clicking that craft button 100 times to get 11k OC. But, ok. Not complaining really. Just asking.

I did the same thing early on. It sucks. But now I'm growing yeast, and that's even less fun.

I haven't done it, but some people build wooden crates instead. It isn't as good a return on investment as the vegetable crate, but it's basically like building three of them at once. I assume that's what the thinking is.

Yeah i know. But it's a huge waste of planks and money. :)

What I did was make the small wood shelf or what its called the one piece of plank you stick to the wall.
that is made out of 1 plank, 2 nails and 1 scrap metal.
cost 34 to buy all the material sells for 198 so 164 profit per unit sold.

vs the veggie crates that is 1 plank and 1 nail
cost 15 to buy the materials for sells for 117 so a 102 profit per unit sold.

that said noted that when played on my first save that the shelf was really anoying to make as the scrap part keept running out (and I did not have the veggie crates) so I was stuck whit a lot of Planks and nails.

i dont know who thought that up but the best money maker is getting a door on your apartment, some sleeping pills, and a decent bed then just collect rent and loot apartments once a day.

How poor we are to be grinding for scraps, while the devs haven't given us content. We need to pray that our gold is stolen so Passmore can buy it. Bad. Devs, come on!

By the time you can upgrade your apartment twice + have other apartments at least at level one to rent, you're no longer early game. I have a single renter and am making my own alcohol, and that's like mid-level with what's out at the moment.

We used to craft chests because they sold for something around 360oc. They got nerfed. Sad day.

Yep, did that before nerf. Since there is a way to make money this way dev should just make something like "large veggie crate" which uses 4 time more mats but also sells for four times more. Just to save us some time, and nerves :)

if you find spaming vedgi crate to be super dull you can also make the wooden desk.
furniture parts
(mobelmanen shop have a workbench that you can use to turn 4 wood planks into furniture part so that save a lot of money).
some planks, glue and nails.
I think you make like 600 profit from it (if you buy furniture part its better if you make your own).

Thanks for the tip. I'm done playing for now. Love the game but you go through the story content pretty fast. Just renovating your building isn't enough for me to keep playing. I do believe it will be a great game upon release, since it is a pretty cool game already.

the problem whit Obenseuer is right now I dont really know what the game pace is supposed to be.
Like at what part of the stroy should I have what uppgrades.
because I guess the player should not have like 12.000 OC on day 3.
getting the vedgi crate blueprint from the bus on day 1 and then spam them whit bought planks and nails on day 2 and sell them.
then rush to passmore and sell him an goodly amount of lockpicks for RM by using the press drill in building B.
