Money mistakes to avoid
Painting and reprogramming do not make money early (source: intoindiegames) — focus on repairs.
Spending everything on consumables — the brush and screwdriver are better investments.
Selling every spare part — the shredder and stockpiles both need parts.
Ignoring deadlines — reputation loss costs you future customers.
