I am talking about the in-game travel feature. Not the real life, where if you travel 10% of Earth's perimeter, you have to steal food for a living.
Zoom out and see the absolute abomination of the post apocalyptic war struck world. Can you smell the smoke? That's the smell of burning RAM used to make those AI profile pictures.
Anyway, you will also see some brown rectangular wooden crates. Go collect them. Sell them afterwards. Who wants to open crates? Just sell them for some good money.
Petroleum is still an affordable product at 0.2/unit in the game. Crates are currently overvalued at 6.67/unit. The numbers are changing and the advantage of this trick is diminishing as we speak.
Suppose you have to travel 10 regions away for a crate, you spend 20 units of petrol. That will be 4 coins, for a crate worth 6.67. Easy 2.5+ coins in cash. That's the fastest way to make 2.5 coins in the game for beginners.
The gap between the petrol price and crate price is closing in. So this will not be a good trick after 2 weeks. Do this before the crates are devaluated to 4 coins.
Happy gaming.
