Best Way To Make Money Kenshi

1. Dont spend what you earn unless it's to pay for a new team mate or food
2. Scavange to sell, scavange to use
3. Steal. Robbing a shop can give you 100 000 - 150 000 cats. Mongrel is a good city to do this in.

Trade. Buy low sell high. Stuff that doesn't weight much, like research books, robot repair kits alcohol...

Death,

If you start in the southwestern part of the map, scavenge the ancient libraries and sell the regular book and parchment. You can also sll those military documents and 7,500 cat maps, as you can find all those spots just by crisscrossing the landscape.

Once you get 35,000 cats or so, head to Mongel in the center of the white mist on the map and recruit Crumblejon and Wingwang. Then, go to the ninja village below World's End and recruit those chicks hiding out there.

safest way is just to mine iron get a traders backpack early stack them HIGH, transporting this off also grants a good amount of strength.

Mine copper. It usually fetches a higher price than iron. Also, whatever you can scavenge or steal, sell it in a Hive village. Those dudes will buy anything.

Thieving. The people you're taking stuff from are all bad people. Just steal from thieves or nobles. You can make more stealing in one night than twice you'd make off of mining.

Without the strength increase, or at least not as much, depending on what you take and how much. Seriously though, the nobles are just asking for it. I snuck into Lady Kana's house at night, stole all the rugs and her clothes. Used the rugs to decorate my soldiers' barracks.

I am only interested to know what can we do with those chick!!!

Don't build towns in united cities territory. Don't buy cool expensive gear from merchants, your guys can't use it for crap early on anyways and heavy armor is almost never worth it. If you get into weapon crafting and base stuff, the wakizashi has a great profit ratio. Not until you get to like refitted blade though. Otherwise, craft loads of iron plates and sell for max dollars.

Absolutely nothing, unless you write a fan fiction. Otherwise, please don't turn this game into more wish-fulfillment. We already have the Nexus and Bethesda games for that.

I find crafting Bandanas to be the most cost-efficient early on. They only cost 0.4 fabric pieces each and will eventually sell for something like 1500 cats. They are also fast to make and will train your Armor Smithing really quick. Fabrics can be bought pretty much everywhere.

Oh, and if you make cash by stealing, remember to not sell to the same faction you steal from, unless your Stealth is really high.

What are you a prude? Sexeven graphic sex mods are still no big deal when a game involves violence, slavery, and cannabalism at its core.

Frankly I love nexus for mods for fallout like the prostitute one, as after all if playing a bad guy especially such options only increase immersion.

Its why I favor a show like say black sails over cross bones. sexuality and nudity are just part of life. for serious role playing they are essential aspects to make the world seem more real.

I figured out while grinding up a WS guy, that there is a huge money making hotspot when using a weapon foundry 2 (but not 3) and having decent WS.
Even buying materials, I was turning maybe 1k of purchased iron plates + fabric into ~5k katun3 katanas. Or other weapons.
And that was with buying everything and using a house in town.
Not as good a deal when you upgrade to weaponfoundry 3, because that takes steel plates and not iron, which are way more expensive.

Mining copper is the boring but safe way. Find a city near a copper node, buy a house in the city to act as a base, recruit 2-3 people to have them stay in that city, give one a backpack, sell copper to material shop daily. Can leave this squad here generating money while you explore and look for a place to setup a base.
