FARTHEST FRONTIER MONEY GUIDE – WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR YOU TO MAKE MONEY?
It would help if you planned where the settlers would start building your town in Farthest Frontier’s unrestricted wilderness. But you may also wonder how to get gold to expand your settlement and build an army.
Farthest Frontier’s most crucial production resource is gold. There are many ways to get it. We’ll discuss all options, the best strategies for building up your wealth, and what you can do with it.

While taxing your population and building market helps you to lower your essential costs, this won’t be enough to finance Tier 3 structures or your top entertainment venues such as Theatres.
Once you have been able to make your houses tax-income producing, they will not start to pay you taxes until you can upgrade them to a Homestead. This happens when each shelter has enough food, herbs, and a Well nearby, and the Town Center has been upgraded to Tier 2. Although you can increase your desirability by building up entertainment venues, hospitals and gardens, it is unlikely that you will make much profit.
Markets can increase your monthly income. Villagers will stock them with food, pottery and clothing you can sell to your neighbours. However, we have only achieved an average of 8-10 income per month for each marketplace in the early games. They are best placed next to your homes as they provide the highest income and can be used to increase your house’s desirability.
Trade Post
If you want to make the most of your income, the Trading Post is essential. It allows you to sell your products and materials to other traders who visit your area. We’ve noticed that traders visit your town once or twice yearly. However, they can be hard to miss.
Although you may only receive one or two visitors annually, they will each stay for approximately 50 days. You can stock up on the items you wish to sell ahead of their arrival. This will allow you not to rush to get your village to stock the Trading Post on time. When your workforce is confined to their homes by the cold, we don’t recommend you sell food or firewood.
Another option is to use the supply-demand strategy. This involves purchasing a low-cost material from the market – something that’s 3 to 4 gold per item – and waiting for the demand to grow and the price to skyrocket. This method can make you a handsome profit if you wait.
We should also warn you about raiders who will attack your camp. We have found that this is often triggered when you buy gold at the Trading Post. Transferring the gold to your Town Center can trigger an attack. Generally, any amount over 300 can be a trigger. To stop them, you can place four watch towers around the Trading Post and many more throughout your town to guard against any escape routes.
Hunters can also be a great way to protect yourself early in the game. They’ll attack raiders who try to take your goods. This all depends on the difficulty level of your game, so be aware.
