Hi, I'm your newest coop member. I started out only 36 turns ago so my farm is still at a very early stage. My main aim at the moment is to get some more land, upgrade my house so I can hire an employee and a money making workshop, probably a bakery, although I'm toying with going down the alcohol/winery route.
Thanks for being such a helpful cooperative - I'm looking forward to doing my part.

Hi and welcome, I'm pretty new at this game myself, but I know you will get lots of good game tips from all the more experienced players in our co-op. Have lots of fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Silverbirch!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, build the bakery first, buy wheatflour whenever its available on the market and bake sourdough bread. If wheatflour is not available, bake tortila or rice bread.
To do alcohol/winery, you have to plant the necessary fruits which will take you about 1 1/2 game year until first harvest, and thereafter, you get about 2 harvest/year. Only then your brewery/winery workshop will be utilised. So if you build your brewery/winery now, most of the time, your workshop will be lying idle. There is hardly any fruits sold on the market.
So if you build the bakery first, you got work to do everyday. From this profit, plant the necessary fruit trees, and when they are ready for harvest, then build the brewery/alcohol workshop.
Hi silverbirch, welcome to the coop. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Esamus that you should go for a bakery before the winery/brewery. Fruits are expensive so even if you were to buy them from the market you'd need a good amount of cash to start and you won't see any income for 12 turns while waiting for your wine to mature.
Also, if you're planning on making red/white wine you'll have to grow the black/white grapes yourself since those are never sold on the market (except for 1*).
Just for a remark. You can make wine from vegetables (such as tomato, potato & carrot*) instead of fruit. There are quite a lot of 7* tomato/ potato/ carrot on the market during autumn/ winter, while fruit (berries) normally harvested in spring.
ReplyDeleteMaking potato country wine can make better profit compare to making the sourdough bread.
potato country wine:
14.42(wine)+2.06(pomace)-4.88(potato)-2.44(sugar)-2.44(yeast)
=>6.72/action
sourdough bread:
22.66-4.88(wheat flour)-2.44(salt)-2.44(yeast)-2.44(food bacteria)-.35(wood)
=>10.11/2 action
=>5.055/action
But, make sure you have enough cash flow and space when waiting the wine matured.
I just have a winery in my other farm, make a lot of tomato country wine which give me a profit $10.08/action. It's good also to have winery first..
thanks for all the advice :-)
