I finally cracked the code to making money. I've been playing this for a couple weeks now, and I couldnt figure it out. I was playing the Bunny Ear cactus strat for a while thinking it was all RNG, until I figured out the true purpose of the shears. I will be experimenting more to see if I can get over 100 now.
(Also, the discord link doesn't work. I'd love to come hangout and talk strategy with others too)
