===Profit margins===

===Profit margins===

When creating a new multiplayer save, you can choose a profit margin of 25%, 50%, 75%, or default (100%). Opting to lower the profit margin helps rebalance the economy in multiplayer mode by reducing the gold obtained when selling most items (including crops, forage, minerals, and cooked foods) to account for the increased productivity from the increased number of active players. For example, at 25% profit margin, you can sell [[Wheat]] for {{price|6}} instead of {{price|25}}.

For example, at 25% profit margin, [[Wheat]] is sold for {{price|6}} instead of {{price|25}}.  

Purchase prices for seeds at [[Pierre's General Store]] and purchase prices for [[Grass Starter]], [[Sugar]], [[Wheat Flour]], and [[Rice]] at [[JojaMart]] are scaled with the profit margin set. Prices for other items (including [[Blacksmith]] and [[Fish Shop]] shop items, buildings, and tool upgrades) and [[quests|quest]] gold rewards are not affected.

Prices for other items (including [[Blacksmith]] and [[Fish Shop]] shop items, buildings, and tool upgrades) and [[quests|quest]] gold rewards are not affected.

Lowering the profit margin makes gold much harder to come by in the early game; progressing in all your [[skills]] evenly, crafting items, and completing Help Wanted quests become far more important. For example, [[Willy]] still sells [[Crab Pot]]s for {{price|1500}} despite your reduced income, so [[mining]] iron and [[crafting]] your own Crab Pots may be more economical.

Note that there's no profit margin option when creating a singleplayer save. However, you can have a singleplayer save with a chosen profit margin by creating a multiplayer save and playing solo. Choose "Co-op" at the main menu instead of "New", then "Load" it in singleplayer after the save file is created.
