Prerequisites
You will need to have these in order to do the deed.

1. Upgrades



Obviously, it's nice to have all of them, but here are the things to focus on in order of importance:
  • Clock speed
    Clock speed will allow you to stay in one room with weak enemies for long periods of time, so get it MAXXED

  • Greed
    This one is self-explanatory, get the thing that gets you more gold if you want more gold

  • Game Over
    This one makes enemies beefier and faster, but it also makes them spawn more, increasing your gold per minute. The method assumes that your Game Over upgrade is at level 2 to be safe, however you will likely get even better results if you upgrade it further

  • Growth
    Growth increases your gold per minute in a roundabout way - at some (early) point during your run, you will reach the max level and choose for all of your level ups to give you gold instead.

  • .WAV
    .WAV is the only weapon we will be using during our runs so get it maxxed


    Then, there is
    Stuff that's nice to have to kill enemies better:
    Power, Amount, Area, Cooldown,

    Try and get these maxxed out as well



2. 1TrickPony.dll

As previously mentioned, we will only be using one weapon during our runs - .WAV. With this upgrade, .WAV will be more than enough to clear the entire screen every second. Additional weapons would only slow down your system.



3. Cursor and items

We will be using the Beat cursor for its 10% bonus scaling to .WAV and crazy area scaling passive.

You will also need to have access to the following items to get during your run:
Scheduler - unlocked for finding 5 Stop watches across all runs
Game Over - unlocked for surviving 10 rooms with doom
Calculator - unlocked for earning 5k gold across all runs
Floppy disk - unlocked for getting Crumbler to level 8

The farming method
1.Pick the Beat cursor
2.Go to the Grove
3.Priorotize upgrades in this order:
Scheduler > Floppy disk > Game Over > WAV > Power supply > Calculator

I recommend making active use of the Recycling bin and using Burial Bay to bury most essential items. Feel free to be generous with your re-rolls, you will make your money back tenfold

4.Enjoy your untold wealth!

You can invest in Gold cursors and PlantPal to perpetually scale your senseless accumulation of gold!
Notes
This method is most definitely unoptimized and has infinite room for improvement, i encourage you to tweak around with different variables and see if you can make an even better gold farm. I'm excited to see what the community will come up with in the weeks and months following the release of this amazing game. I hope that this guide has managed to provide you with some inspiration and get your ideas flowing.

cool tip: apparently theres a bug with modem that if leveled up enough lowers the chance of stopwatches and BSODs appearing (you could replace power supply and just use plantpal for .wav). i got this info from a steam discussion though so i could be patched or placebo effect

can there be a substitute for .wav?

plant levels in game over, not doom sorry

pigmenti, effloro, messis, congemino and bravio as filler b/c u take ram and floppy disk with plant levels in doom you can make so much money extremely afk, i personally think taking fortune is actually not efficient with farming gold unless u have enough golden cursors because pointers is pretty dead weight. pigmenti is easily the best farming weapon in the game and just works well with any build for the most part
