Hunting
Head to the Hunting Grounds and take down animals for leather, cloth, animal fat and bear meat.
- Sell a Batch of 1000× Leather or Cloth for $500 each at the Clothing Store — not at the Hunting Grounds, which is only a gathering zone.
- Cooked Bear Meat sells at the Medical Store.
- Leather feeds crafting too — it's the base for Hardened Leather (see Crafting).
Hunt safer with TiptoeThe Tiptoe skill makes animals only fight back if you hit them first — a big quality-of-life upgrade for hunters. Grab it from the skill perks.
Farming
Crops grow only in planter boxes on your own property, so you'll want a place of your own first (see Property). Buy the planter boxes themselves at the Construction Store ("IKEA") — a Large Planter is $1,950, a Small one $730 — along with composters and water catchers to keep crops fed.
- Get started at The Barn — collect Corn, Pumpkin and Potato seeds there to start a farm on your property.
- Sell your Corn, Potato, Pumpkin and Fertilizer to the Farmer (Corn $14 · Potato $12 · Pumpkin $20 · Fertilizer $100).
- The Farmer also sells you the tools of the trade — fertilizer, shovels, composters and irrigation.
Horses & Fertilizer
You can also buy horses at The Barn. Beyond getting you around, horses produce fertilizer, which you sell to the Farmer, or feed straight back into your own crops for a faster grow. It's a tidy little loop: keep a horse, collect fertilizer, grow more, sell the surplus.
