This guide is mostly for my own gaming, but I guess everybody can have use of it. The numbers are based on MacaDeaths fantastic spreadsheet[docs.google.com] (game version 0.6).
This guide was updated for game version 0.6.

In the beginning, I aim to produce Flax seeds. 200 sq of farm land will give your around 6000 coins. One farmer can handle that if you don't want to farm yourself. I also let my Hunters produce Leather. I make Small bags out of leather as standard. Flax production will not only give you seeds thought, it will also let you create Linen Thread out of Flax Stalk. Combine Linen Thread and Leather, and you have Thick Leather Gloves that are very profitable.

Basically, the product needs to have a good profit per hour, and be profitable as well per kilo.
I am looking at 3 different numbers when deciding what to make and sell.

The first one is the complexity of creating a product, ie - how hard is it to get resources for it? Like, iron ore i scares, and linen takes long time and lots of people to make. Is it worth it? I don't think so. While leather is on the other hand is very easy to get.

The second number is time. You know, how many bags can I make during a real life hour? How much profit will it make me per hour?

The third number is weight. Stuff needs to be taken to different villages. Its fast to make wooden shovels and the profit per shovel is good, but they are heavy, so its not really profitable since you cant carry thousands of them while you are traveling.

P = profit
h = hour
kg = kilogram



Note: them items are heavy, but they have a very good profit per hour. The resource (log) are also easy harvestable via the Woodshed. I put them wooden products in the market stall as soon as the stall is available.

Note: My hunters concentrate on getting leather only, but when I am hunting on my own, I get a lot of fur. You can either sell fur as it is, or turn it into fur shoes so the fur wont go to waste. Fur sells for around 4 coins and its worth around 16,8 coins per kilo

Note: As seen in MacaDeaths spreadsheet, many of the foods are very profitable. Unfortnately, they are very complex to make course they needs different resources. I therefore concentrate on 3 products to make profit.

Note: I haven't got the drink production yet. But from MacaDeaths spreadsheet, it looks like all drinks are very profitable. I will probably aim to make one of them above and sell at the market stall.

Note: Farming for selling seeds is great. Its easy, its light, and you make tons of money. I doubt if there is anything better than farming for wheat grain and flax seeds. When you have the infrastructure later on, make flour out of the grain for even more profit. And Flax can turn into Linen Thread. Together with leather, you can create Thick leather gloves that are very profitable.

Whats the easiest food to make in the tavern for a worker, and what gives most bang for the bucks so to speak? What food to feed your workers with, and what food to keep when you are traveling far to the mines? Well, I am working on it :)

I hope that you have any use of this guide. I will try and keep it updated.

If you have any strategies of your own and knowledge about how to make coin in the game, please share it in the comments. I'd love to hear about them.

Have a nice day!
