The economy in 1.8 is vastly different than anything we have seen. This has caused workshops to behave a bit differently. this is a simple process to assure you make money. Watch my workshop video, it is time stamped for each kingdom so you can see all towns in the kingdom quickly. 1.8 Workshop Video @Dr Chaz this mod has been on Nexus since July and I have seen all sorts of users. There were a lot of people expecting to just buy a workshop and start making money. Bannerlord's "economy" is in my opinion still in a rough state so even picking a workshop type that fits the village production can end up being not profitable due to daily wages. The parties will pay their own soldiers and even make profits for you if you take them into an army and you defeat some enemy armies. Defeat one enemy army and your parties will go from costing you, to making several thousand a day. During times of peace parties can be expensive to maintain, but during times of war they are good money makers. 7 workshops here 3-4k a day. I noticed income from workshops increases with prosperity of town! (and I only bought workshops from towns I own) Oh, and these workshops only provide goods like equipment, velvet etc. No food workshops. (havent tried actually). I can imagine with the millions of grain available each town a brewery might work super or make yourself a delivery boy for beer. if that is very exciting for you. think for a moment, to make brewery "work", player have to go to this town BUY own beer, then sell it somewhere else HIMSELF! so that money you paid FOR YOUR OWN BEER, can appear as YOUR INCOME in workshop window!!! if that is not laughable, i do not know what is. . In Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, there are two types of passive income: workshops and caravans. Both types of businesses are available to any player at any time in the game. They are costly, especially at the beginning of the game, so it’s worth thinking twice before investing the first 15-20 thousand dinars in your business. They balanced it so businesses make a reasonable amount of money. I get around 200 - 400 denars per day for each brewery I build. That's really not reasonable, for 14k~ that's nearly 70 days at least for a return. By then you will probably have a castle or town. Workshops aren't meant to be able to sustain your 100 man elite army. Workshops and caravans feel like their purpose is to offset your upkeep, not make you loads of money. Trading goods seems to be the lowest income but is always viable as you travel. Selling horses seems to be a good chunk of money but over saturating the market leads to periods of no-profits.

How much the villages produce (hearth) effects how much you produce. How much your product sells also matters. Also: workshops make money in intervals, as they need time to create their product.
