Making money late game

[Dave1929]

Hey! I'm trying to make as much money as possible in a month. I filled the whole greenhouse with sweet gemberry that makes me about 500000g a month, the ginger island farm is filled with starfruit wich i turn into wine so that makes me 700000g a week. What other ways are there to make money?

I did a post on this. In the greenhouse alone, you can easily clear a million per season, a million and a half if you are willing to put up with a more micromanaging project.

Here is a finely crafted link to that post.

The tl;dr is: Ancient Fruit, with Peach or Pomegranate trees and hops in the greenhouse if you really want to max your profit margins. Peach and Pomegranate trees produce their respective fruits daily, and in the greenhouse they will produce all year long instead of just in their season, making them the single most profitable single square in your greenhouse. Hops is brewed into Pale Ale which sells for 300g or 420g with Artisan, and hops produces daily, making them the second most profitable crop in your greenhouse. Then infill with Ancient Fruit for weekly harvesting and weekly brewing. Nets around a million and a half just from the greenhouse alone.

For a less micro-intensive build, 116 ancient fruit brewed into wine will net you close to a million per season and a one day workweek, leaving the other six days free to do whatever you'd like.

I've got 144 AF on GI, and just switched my farmer to Artisan from Coopmaster. It's producing well. There's also a big shed on the mainland churning out 137 Diamonds every 5 days, and I recently switched my farmer to Gemologist from Blacksmith.

i would rather have fun and peace instead of making money. i guess that is like real life.

Why not both? A greenhouse full of ancient fruit is a one day workweek. The same day you harvest the crops, you can also collect your last week's press and put the new crops in. The rest of the week is yours to do with as you will. And with a million in your pocket every season, you'll have more funds available to have fun with.

If only you could do that in real life ...

Peace between me and the weeds on the GI farm has a price tag.

by late game I’ll assume somewhat into the island content.

you honestly don’t need much money for perfection, just the greenhouse and ginger island farm with a high value crop like ancient/starfruit and some processing (minimum dehydrating and you honestly don’t need to go more than that) is way enough.

there are always alternatives to the crop grind though.

pigs are easy though require constant maintenance in collecting truffles.
Fish ponds aren’t the best for space but are pretty good profit for the ease in starting up use them.
Skull cavern for iridium bars or the danger mines/sc for radioactive bars are usually supplementary but can totally be hard focused and made into a main moneymaker.
Honey on the island is super great, especially with the versatility the additions of potted flowers gives in making layouts.

And there are more, though that’s a general idea of ones that are achievable and fun to pursue. You can always go down the path of crystalariums, buying honey from sandy and processing, etc. but they’re often a lot of effort for the relative low amount of money you need.
