Now try as the farmer. It was easy because you were a banker.

farmer is easy too. buy like 6 pairs of oxen, 5 sets of clothes, spare of wheel/axel/tongue. and the vast majority of the rest on bullets with like 100lb of food to just get you started

then you just hunt and hunt and hunt and hunt. and only shoot at bison/bears and the occasional pair of deers.

and then you trade primarily trading food for anything else (as food is cheap to you, 100lb should just cost 1-3 bullets on average depending how bad a shot you are)

This is what I planned to do for a second run as farmer. I got hit with a fire and lose all my clothes near the start. I found that to be pretty funny. Hunting was too tedious to see if it was still a viable run in the long run.

For an extra challenge I play on hard mode: Spend all your money on grandfather clocks.
