I say we get seven of the most sturdy parts, nine of the middle-class parts, and eleven of the most fragile parts (for a total purchase of $270), 'cos stuff always breaks in this game.
Actually, I forgot something. You can only hold three of each. Sorry about that. It’s been a while since I last played this game. Tell you what, you can spend the last $1144 on whatever you want. You can also buy the oxen.
Ok so…
Budget = $1144.00
Three of each part = 3(10 x 3) = $90.00
$1144.00 - $90.00 = $1054.00
The rest ($1054.00) should be spent of an even number of oxen (under ten), and whatever is left over (after buying the oxen) should be used for any emergency purchases later on.
The final bill is:
$120= 6 oxen
$400=2000 lb. of food (400 lb. of each of us)
$200=20 sets of clothing (4 for each of us)
$180=90 boxes of ammunition
$90=spare parts
Total=$990
As for hunting, I will do that on occasion, and update you guys every time I reach a new settlement. When this happens, I’ll ask you guys what you want to do there:
Basically. Like I said, I will keep you guys updated on stuff as well.

A town resident told us:
“Some folks seem to think that two oxen are enough to get them to Oregon! Two oxen can barely move a fully loaded wagon, and if one of them gets sick or dies, you won’t be going anywhere. I wouldn’t go overland with less than six.” @Marendex_T17 Anything you would like to do?
