Warning; This contains a large amount of numbers and is extremely boring to read.
This chart below provides a insight onto the income (Whether hourly, each harvest etc.) onto given items in the game. I have gone through all money printers available which provide in-game cash (So this shall not include the Uranium Printer due to the price of uranium forever changing, I may update this post at a later date to include the Uranium Printer). You can see below how much you much you should be looking at making for each entity. I strongly suggest you scan through it rather than read the whole thing as it was a long and tedious job to write and I can imagine it being just as bad to read.
I hope this is of some use to you guys.

Should you wish to no-life doing all the above things, spending a solid 24 hours non-stop. You'd have made; $45,706,224
Mining; Steel etc.
NOTE: You will need basic knowledge of how to solve equations, (order of operations) to be able to understand this.
Let "W" represent available inventory space you have.
Let "g" represent gold.
W = (3.5g)0.1
Lets say you have 20 available inventory space. Simplify until you isolate "g" on one side. If you get a decimal, always round down to the nearest EVEN number.
20 = (3.5g)*0.1
200 = 3.5g
56 = g
For every 1 gold, there is 2.5 stone when crafting steel.
56*2.5 = 140
You will need 140 stone and 56 gold to craft as much steel as your inventory allows (28), taking up 19.6 pounds of inventory space.
OR
Divide the gold (56) by 2, giving you the amount of steel you can craft, (28) and multiply that by 5.
(56/2)*5
