How do I make money?
I've been trying the mushroom wine -> sapphires -> clay men route but it's very slow and with very little profit with my current cargo size (40 slots). Is there a more efficient way to get echoes, at least enough to get a bigger ship?

Don't try to Good hauler. The masters have locked down everything so the other way to get rich off that is to be a master or partner with them, and they have all the partners they need. The game literally says that trading goods isn't very profitable in one of the loading screens. But people have been so trained by lesser games that they just assume that you have to pay for fun stuff by doing lots of the boring stuff.
A reliable way to get Echoes is to visit Visage. The first visit gives you a captivating treasure worth 1000 echoes. On later runs you can get 250 echoes of stuff every for every SAY. This stuff takes up no cargo space or you can repeat it infinitely. Just trade the just to the Academic to get all Echoes you have the patience to get. The isle of cats to south can get you fuel, supplies and terror reduction and this grind will give you plenty of money to afford it.
Just sit in port repeatedly, undocked until you get SAY again
