I decided to grow psychoid plants and make flake out of them. I heard it's a pretty good way to make a profit. I also sell armchairs to the traders. What is/are your method(s) for making silver?

Alpacas. Flippin' alpacas. Get a few rounded up to breed and you'll be basically up to your ears in wool. Even if you can't craft through their output, just selling the wool in bulk is a pretty decent income.

camels are equal levels of hilarious for camelhair.  Plus, their level of heat and energy resistance is so high that in full camel hair clothes/duster/cowboy hat people can run around on fire all day without taking damage.  It's actually kinda amusing, heat wave of 150C?  Napalm launching mechanoids everywhere?  No problem as long as you have uncle kila's patented fire-proof camel hair clothes!

In  this game I'm growing huge fields of devilstrand, turning it into cloth, and carrying it along to the nearby outlander town. It's a good challenge, since devilstrand takes so long to grow, requires a highly skilled grower, and large fields are extremely vulnerable to fires and other calamity.

Maybe they metabolize food into asbestos?

This special feel when two vat grown soldiers childhood colonists with space marine background, insane shooting skills, power armour, and futuristic plasma weaponry  and augmented eyes get beaten by 9 tribals.

 Selling drugs is a great way to make cash, tho if you want to keep yer people off of it than you have some issues.

(Phi) this mod seems to have been around a bit, but it adds sort of multiplayer functionality. I'm sure it must be well known, but its pretty cool being able to chat with others

You can (again) chat with people, trade and even send colonists to other people (but that part says its experimental).

You can set drug restrictions, I think in the Assign menu. You can forbid them from consuming drugs or specify what drugs and how often they may take them. Be aware that colonists with the Chemical Fascination(or similar) trait will ignore this, especially if they go on a binge. Animals also ignore this, considering I've had chickens raid my luciferium supplies.

One of the best ways to make money IMO is... selling meals.

[Majestic7]

I like to sell sculptures and clothing, only keeping the greatest quality items. Other good moneymaker is crafting bows, since wood is usually plentiful unless you are in a hostile biome.

[Aseaheru]

 Well, sculptures are a bit of a given.

To avoid this I place all my drugs in a sealed room with no doors. At least one wall segment is cheap wood that I can deconstruct whenever I want to sell it (pretty sure junkies also ignore forbidden doors).

I have not touched this much yet, but it is hilarious when I hear my brother talk about how weed and meth keep raining from the sky.

Anyone well-versed on how to stop diseases from killing your entire colony? Running the Hardcore SK pack and it seems to always favor giving my minions some disease with ~40-50% progress and only 20% immunity. I can't afford to mushroom tincture 6 people while they aren't working.
