    Hey guys, I am looking to now head for my goal of President and use my 2nd town to expand my nation. I haven't been that active for a while and I would like to know everyone's opinions on what to do to get the 150k I need (I already have 30k saved) to get President rank. I have a max fortune pick, silk pick, and a pumpkin axe.

    I would mine using the max fortune pickaxe, so you can make 10k per hour.

    Agreed. Make a routine if possible:

    [I.E.
    Mine 1 hour a day (10k average) for 15 days

    Take 15 minute break each day]

    How much does pumpkin farming make? I have co-ownership of one farm.

    If you're going to be playing a good bit, I recommend getting a loan and renting an eff7 pick if you have pyro+. It'll make you 10-15k per hour. Renting will run you 20-25k per day. Get macromod and pi's auto tool switch macro (on forums). Also, you could buy pyro+ for 120k now.

    Whatever tools u use, do a 2x1 tunnel at y=11, use silk/fortune and just keep going and getting ores. Explore caves a little, ravines a good bit.

    Ok thanks, what stuff should I fortune and what should I silk? I don't want to take any loans out because something could come up for school and I don't like to have debt.

    Fortune everything. Unless e-reps are an issue, in which case use the max silk pick on the regular stone to have a longer trip.

    You can also silk iron/gold ore to extend the life of ur fortune pick...possibly
