Experts Share Top Secrets for Success with Money / Wood Farm in Core Keeper

Today, I bring you an in-depth guide to a Starter Wood, Farm, Mob Farm, and Money Farm. In Core Keeper, ancient coins are needed to upgrade equipment and farm bosses. One of the easiest ways that I have found to farm ancient coins is with wood or planks. We have designed two central Money Farms for mid-game using wood. But I will go through the steps in your early game of properly setting up the wood farm so you can expand into it quickly by mid-game.
We also cover 2 other ways to make money in Core Keeper. One is Farming and Selling Bait, and the other is Mining and selling gold. The Third one, which was left out of the guide, is fishing. Once skilled in fishing, you can catch fish pretty fast, and all fish sell for at least 10 coins.
In this Guide we also go over the importance of cooking and a basic start mob farm.
We also go over how to create an item splitter with a Delay. The delay allows items to stack up in the incoming arm before splitting it. This allows for more even distribution of goods and helps with the first arm over stacking items into only one processor.


* About the Game*

It’s good to see a YouTuber who
1. Knows what they’re talking about
2. Provides valuable content that’s straightforward.
3. Doesn’t start at the endgame.

10/10 video. Will be watching the whole channel to scour for things I don’t know like the 16/16 trick 😊

[KyrieQHD]

Damn, 4 minutes in, it's already one of the best tutorials on this game on yt, not only on farming, just everything

[WolfgangShaffer-eyce]

My friend bought me this game last week. Your videos are very helpful in getting me up to speed! I even know things my veteran player friends don't thanks to you

[PenguinjitsuX]

OK, I didn't even know that you could sell wood planks for money lol, thanks! This is a game changer, basically infinite money with my existing wood farm now!

[devi]

0:40 didn't think this would be the video I learned how to use the map icons

[Wuzadi]

Amazing videos! Really appreciate the effort and time put into these. Your automation video was great for laying the foundation for tinkering and building up our own circuits and workflows.

[thatoneguynick]

Super helpful video as always, loved it! Would love to see and update with the chest change, see how your crafting stations are set up along with all the automation. Would also love a video with tips on the rest of the game, especially exploring/travelling. The main thing I find to be a pain these days is having to take a waypoint with me (and 8 drills +generator) and be really considered in my exploration.

[Danniebanana-ie]

Great guide per usual! Always so thorough with the guides!

For your health regen foods, I'd recommend Mushroom + Bomb Pepper for the early game.
The speed boost has the lowest duration of most food buffs and you benefit more from eating it more frequently, while you can pair the other 10min buffs with each other.
Once you find bloat oat in Azeos' Wilderness, swap to Bloat Oats + Bomb Peppers for a further increase in healing and satiety.
Then when you start farming golden crops, both of those buffs get a huge increase when using golden crops in recipes.

Great video. I really liked the way you explain how to start your wood farm and then transition it into something more advanced as you reach later stages of the game. That's something that I've noticed is missing from a lot of the guides out there. They're all either just a guide for something super early game or super optimized for late game and don't show the progression. The guides for late game stuff can be really overwhelming when they don't show you any preliminary steps.

Something I'd be really interested in is a guide for mob farms that starts with something simple like an early game mushroom and slime farm and then shows how to transition that into a more complex and eventually late game farm with automated collection for more mob types as you get more types of spawning tiles.

Guide was great, the season tip was cool but I think it would be good to record guide parts on default season for better visual comparison. Without knowing that snow goes on many blocks people could think it's a different type of root, for example. It's also on the orange slime.

[MrBkrndy]

Very quality guide man, good job. Thank you for putting it together!

[iamgoo]

Thanks again for the video. Been busy building my arenas and missed the streams. But progress is going splendid

[EnlonWhite]

Cooking two plants (especially peppers with others plants) is actually more profitable money wise, yeah sure you have to wait for the cooking, just build 4-5 extra cooking stations just for this. Turning it into bait is barely double where as you can 5 to 7 times the value by just cooking it.

[UncleClone]

Thanks, I built an 8 way splitter on my world and it looks very mesmerizing.

[elimelechelohim]

The Lumber Mill blew my mind, im not even joking, its going in my worlds from now on

[akamenightraid]

im new!! learned a lot lol. thanks!!
❤❤❤

So the expanded wood farm works faster because there are ten seeds trying to grow +1 wood in one direction (and its forced to grow in front of the drill because all surrounding spaces are blocked). The one seed in the middle (the eleventh seed) just make sure it grows in the correct direction.

[ZeroGravitas]

Ah nice! I'm glad the devs made table item insertion work suitably for item splitting. I pushed on this a couple years back. Originally the whole stack would go into the top left slot, I think.

[majesticslothofdoom]

Roots dont grow on sand. the basic farm at 11:00 has 3 root cores that arent functional.

heart berries only sell for 1, but glow tulips sell for 7 and bomb peppers sell for 6. cooked food sells for the ingredients combined.
edit: cooking skill can increase profit from farming with the passive and probably with the master chef perk.

thanks for the video.
