Profitable Buildings
When you get some money ,you can invest it into buildings bringing a steady income, with none, or small contribution from your side. All buildings are available in the Objects tab, and can be placed in any location in the game world. You'll find a list of profitable buildings below, along with eventual requirements and income.
Name | Price | Daily Income | Notes |
Beehive | 20 000$ | 376$ | Maintenance free - good way to pay for a loan |
Greenhouse | 25 000$ | 1 430$ | Requires maintenance (water + fertilizer), along with a cow/pig husbandry |
Solar Panel | 125 000$ | 2 135$ | Maintenance free |
Wind Turbine | 1 200 000$ | 23 950$ | Maintenance free |
If you have an cow or pig husbandry, you should create a greenhouse near the husbandry. You need to deliver manure and water there. As a result, you need to use slurry for fertilizing, and spend the manure on greenhouses. It doesn't matter whether you choose an object containing a lettuce, or tomatoes.
