Dye is just another type of decoration. You can decoration spam things if you really want to boost their value.

They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Dyed cloth crafts can be surprisingly valuable, especially for a renewable resource. You get the value of the crafts plus the value of a free decoration made from the cloth and a second free decoration made from the dye. Each cloth craft can easily be worth ~400. Cloth is also one of those industries that you can sort of just fire and forget if you set it up right, so in terms of value produced per unit of the player's time, it's probably one of the best.

My understanding is prepared meals sell really well too, if you're wanting to use farming for profit.

With wagons implemented I don't think it's really worth it, though. Rock mechanisms sell for a ton and I somewhat doubt you'll run low on that. Unless you're aiming for infinite exported wealth, I'd only farm for food/booze.

i am a farming industy, and use my profit to buy more wood, cause im always out, i always have a suplus or like 4000 or sumthing, so i sell (yea i have that cause 1/4 of my pop is farmers, 1/2 are crafters/blacsmiths, and the last 1/4 is my unplaned migrants

out of my entire pop though, 1/2 of them are mason worker, or some form of crafting, cause i make lotsof structure, which actully allows me to maintain a minimalistic miltary through mass defences (walls 2 stoge tall around my entire area) but i do have like 30 soldiers who train on goblins, and badgers. though i only wish i had a vampire >.>

but yea, farming = prepared food, sounds good.
