Easier ways to find Gold nugget in the beginning


Recommended Posts

Collect ~5 manure around town and hand them to the crazy hat pigs who want it.  Take to shovel market place and get a gold nugget.

Find a cavern and mine the rocks and/or pillars and hope one pops out.

 

I'm not sure if there's another route at the moment, I tend to do these two at the start since they're generally quick.

I always just find the Hamlet right away, and start pickup up poop to get paid for cleaning things and handing it to the old lady pigs for another oinc. 5 poops = 1 nugget at the hardware store. It's fine as-is. Gold should be rare and something you want to get as much of as possible.

This is a valid point. A huge part of the treasure-hunting vibe is to get some neat loots. That includes relics, but also gold. So making gold a bit more elusive does make it a bit more special. 

No. Easiest way to get gold by using pen^&*%$ whatever its called in the new "treasure hunt" tab on the pig statues (mostly in jungle biomes) and the other method is to trade 10 coins with shopper for gold. If you know what you're doing, you should have an alchemy engine before it even reaches Day 10. This question should be posted on the helping thread.

Yep. Three easy ways of finding gold within the first few days. From my experience, if you don't get gold out of the Cave Cleft, you get a gem, which can be sold for 10 oincs to pay for a gold. There does seem to be a rare exception of a cave without any of the mining nodes.

You do need to have a science engine first to make your ball-pein hammer or buy one from the tool shop. (Is that even the correct spelling? I always knew it as "ball & peen" or "ball-peen"... Google says it's accepted, though.)

You can also use the ballpen hammer on the statues that have a glint in their eyes for two pieces of gold (originally it was one piece of gold). Berries are a lucrative source of early-game income as well, and I essentially bought all my gold that I needed. There are also good all moleworm farms. I feel that there are more than enough avenues for gold.
