On 5/14/23, the developers of Serfdom & Sorcery dropped a prized gem into the game. Let me give some background...
In S&S (play free by going here), as we like to call it, you fight monsters. They are really scary and make me wet my pants... too much info? Well, I have proof:
So these monsters...if you fight them, and win...you earn DBLN! I've been fighting these suckers my whole adult life and part of my life as a kid. I lost my first dad to a big level 1 
So I kill this beast and then ravage through its guts to find all the people it has eaten before attacking me. I usually find a few hundred to a few thousand DBLN. This helps me buy more potions and gain more skill in killing these beasts.
Why am I telling you all this? Well...I got a lab! That's right!!! Right in my hovel, I added a lab. There's a whole collective of us and we have agreed to split the profits equally. We all promise to make potions 24/7, as long as time doesn't stand still (bot down). We then give these potions to the salesguys to sell the potions. My portion? We all get an equal portion of 25% of all the potions sold in the last 24 hours. We keep getting more people who buy labs. Currently there are only 14 people who have a lab. They simply add one with !addlabtohovel and after the carpenter is paid, they get added to the group. The carpenter keeps raising his prices, though. The first 10 of us got in with only 400K DBLN. I heard for every 10 the carpenter sells, he raises his price by 100K DBLN. Rightfully so, I say.
I just got my first payout from my lab. It was over 10K DBLN!!! All I had to do was yell out !collectpotionsales and it gave my my 1/14th of the 25%. My mom was proud. My 5th dad was, too. It's a good moment in our lives. Now if only we could let the cows milk themselves...Anyone know a milklady?
You must 1) have a hovel and 2) have enough DBLN inside the game to cover the cost. The first 10 labs sold out within a couple hours at 400K DBLN each. The next 4 sold at 500K. Once 20 are sold, the price will increase to 600K DBLN. When 30 are sold, the next price will be 700K DBLN and so on. At some point, there will be an ROI balance acceptable to the new buyer and the older buyers. As the game grows, the market will decide.
Every 24 hours, collect your portion of the potion sales using:

In case you missed it, there is a way to !buy_farm in Serfdom & Sorcery. Get one of those and you'll get a daily payout of DBLN which you can use to buy more potions, a pickaxe, or a myriad of other things. There may be upkeep to keep those farms pumping out DBLN at such a high rate...but for now in the game's infancy, take advantage, I say...but you do you.
The King is the top player. If you get there, you'll earn taxes from all the peasants below you. Not the King? You'll pay taxes to the King...muwahaha...get to work!
