{{Version|1.4.15}}
Once you build a [[Trading Post]], Traders will visit you periodically. You can barter with them by selecting their goods and offering some of your [[Resources]] in return. The goods Traders can offer are Resources, [[Perks]], [[Blueprints]], [[Reputation]] and [[Mystery boxes]].

After you unlock the [[Dim Square]] Level 1 upgrade in [[Smoldering City]], Trading Posts also allow you to establish [[Trade Routes]] with nearby settlements.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Once a Trader arrives in your settlement, you are going to see a notification pop up and the Trader's circle icon is going to appear where the Trading Post building was placed. You can pull up their Trading Post screen by clicking on their icon or the Trading Post building. RMB click is going to hide their icon, but you can still interact with the Trader by clicking on the Trading Post building until they leave.


When trading Resources on the Trader's Trading Post screen, the bar beneath the selected goods will show you if the Trader is happy with your proposal, and once the bar turns green, you can press the "trade" button to confirm the transaction.<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
== Overview ==
  * Visit [[Trader_Wares]] to see a comprehensive list of [[traders]] and their wares.
Trading is a way to exchange {{rl|Amber}} for goods, and vice versa. You can do this through traders or [[#Trade Routes | Trade Routes]].


When trading Perks, Blueprints, Reputation, and Mystery boxes on the Trader's Trading Post screen, you need to have enough Amber {{Amber}} in your inventory. It is going to be substracted from your inventory automatically once you click on the icon in the bottom section of the Trader inventory.
== [[Traders]] ==


When there's no Trader in town, you can select the Trading Post and find out when the next one arrives. Arriving Traders can be called immediately at the cost of 0.5 [[Queen's Impatience]]. The Impatience cost doubles with every subsequent trader call. If the Trader arrives during the Storm season, their arrival is delayed until the following drizzle season.  
Traders will start arriving once you build the Trading Post. There are 2-8 (depending on your [[upgrades]]) regular traders that can arrive at your settlement every 720-529 seconds (depending on your upgrades). Traders will not arrive at your settlement during [[Storm]]. If their arrival timer reaches zero during Storm Season, they won't be able to enter until [[Drizzle]]. The first trader will arrive in 8:30 minutes, regardless of when you construct the Trading Post.  


With the exception of [[Sir Renwald Redmane]], Traders can be attacked by pressing the sword icon in the Trade Panel. This will take 30-50% of their item stacks and 30% of their Blueprints and Perks, as well as kill 1-6 villagers, raise Queen's Impatience by 2-3, prevent higher level Traders from coming to your settlement, and increase the Trader arrival time by 50%. Additionally, [[Sothur The Ancient]] will punish you with [[Amber Curse]], which causes your Amber {{Amber}} to be worth 90% less to any future traders,  effectively eliminating Trade Routes from viability and removing blueprint and perk purchase for the rest of the run. If your City Score is low enough, assaulting Traders will prevent any Traders from coming to your settlement until you raise your City Score above 0.</div>
There are also 3 [[Glade Traders]], who can sometimes be found in Small [[Glades]] on the map.<br />
</div>


All of the traders listed in the table below stays for 1:30 minutes. They arrive in a staggered manner, so every Trader will have visted in a 12 minute cycle, unless you Assault one of them and gain a negative City Score.
=== Building the Trading Post ===

| style="vertical-align:middle; background-color:#efefef;" | Potential
#In WHITE, we see the amount of time the [[trader]] will stay in the settlement, available to trade.
| style="vertical-align:middle; background-color:#efefef;" | Guaranteed
#In NEON GREEN, we can type in the amount of goods we are trading. We can also click on the arrows to increase or decrease by 1.
#In NEON BLUE, we see the "Auto" function. Clicking this function will have the trader automatically calculate the amount of goods needed to make the trade acceptable to them.
#In GREEN on the bottom right, we see the [[ #Assaulting the Trader | "Assault the Trader"]] option. See [[Trader Wares]] for more information on what assaulting them gives you.
#In RED on the middle of the screen, we see visually by how fair the deal is to us or the trader, deals will only be accepted once the button is in the middle of the bar. If the button is too far right and the bar is green, you are getting ripped off.
#In ORANGE on the left, we see the [[Perks and Cornerstones]] the trader sells, and for how much.
# PINK we can see what 1 unit of a good is worth, how much the stack is worth in (brackets) and how many we have in our [[Warehouse]] by the [[File:Worker storage icon.png|16px]]. '''You need to HOVER over the image of the good to get this tooltip.'''
 
== Assaulting the Trader ==
 
Assaulting the Trader has both positive and negative consequences. The specific numbers of exactly what you get is trader dependent, see [[Trader Wares]] for the numbers. Below is a more detailed description of the mechanic generally.
 
'''Positive:'''
You will get:
 
* Some % of the stacks they have with them.
* Some % of the Perks and Blueprints they have with them.
 
For each type (resources, and perks / blueprints), the mechanic works like this: Multiply the percent for that trader by the number of stacks of items, and round up. You will get exactly that many stacks, but which stacks will be chosen randomly. The calculation is the same for the number of perks / blueprints.
 
'''Negative:'''
 
This is a list of all the types of negative consequences. Not all traders will give all negative types. Again, see [[Trader Wares]] for the specifics.
 
You can get:
 
* Usually:
** Villager deaths
** [[Impatience]]
** Permanent loss of Trader Arrival Speed
** Permanent loss of [[ #City Score | City Score ]]
* Rarely:
** Permanent loss of cost of goods sold to traders ([[ Trader Wares#Sothur the Ancient |Sothur the Ancient ]] only)
** Permanent Hostility (glade traders only)
 
== Trade Routes ==
 
Trade routes are a way for you to trade your goods for {{rl|Amber}} when the [[trader]] is not at the Settlement. As you build up the relationship ([[ #Standing with other settlements / Factions |Standing]]), you will get more {{rl|Amber}} for your goods. '''This is the most profitable way to earn {{rl|Amber}} for your goods'''
 
You need {{rl|Pack of Provisions}} to trade via Trade routes. Trade Routes will refresh with every [[Season]] change.
 
[[File:TradingRoutesScreen.png|none|1000px|border|Trading Routes Screen]]
# In YELLOW, is the option to show all Trade Routes, or only Trade Routes you're currently able to fulfill.
# In NEON GREEN, we see buttons to increase or decrease the amount of goods  we're willing to Trade.
# In WHITE, we see the total goods and {{rl|Pack of Provisions}} we are trading. If you don't have enough Goods or {{rl|Pack of Provisions}} for a trade route, they are going to be highlighted in red.
# In NEON BLUE, we see the amount of time until we get paid for this Trade Route, as well the amount of {{rl|Amber}} we are receiving for it.
# In PINK, we see the option to collect the {{rl|Amber}} from a completed Trade Route as soon as it completes, or to wait until we manually complete it. Please see the Strategy section on why you would use this option.
# In RED, we see which goods we currently have in our [[Warehouse]]s
# In ORANGE, we see our current [[ #Standing with other settlements / Factions | Standing ]] Status with a settlement. Read more about this by clicking on Standing Status.
# In GREEN, we see our current Standing with another Settlement / Faction.
# In BEIGE, we see the option to buy another Trade Route Option Slot from a specific Faction / Settlement.
 
<br />
 
== Standing with other settlements / Factions ==
[[File:StandingLevel.png|left|border|Standing Level]]
 
Standing (or relationship) with other Factions / Settlements '''influence how much your goods are worth to them'''. The higher your Standing with other Settlements / Factions, '''the more {{rl|Amber}} they are willing to pay on average, and the more goods you will be able to trade with them.'''
 
You gain Standing by initiating Trade Routes with Settlements / Factions. How much {{rl|Amber}} until your Standing improves, can be viewed by hovering over the name of the Faction / Settlement in the Trade Routes Screen and looking at the section indicated by the YELLOW arrow.
 
For some examples of the effect Standing has on Trade Routes, see the following [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NrclAba7G66oNrBJL6mieAUrI96OWJaxooD5bCjfMlo/edit?gid=0 sheet].

== Tradable Goods with other settlements / Factions ==
 
Factions and Settlements have a set list of goods they want to trade with your settlement. The following image depicts those goods, it is sorted by biome. This image is courtesy of ZazStudio, an ATS streamer.

Overview

 * Visit Trader_Wares to see a comprehensive list of traders and their wares.

Trading is a way to exchange Amber Amber for goods, and vice versa. You can do this through traders or Trade Routes.

Traders

Traders will start arriving once you build the Trading Post. There are 2-8 (depending on your upgrades) regular traders that can arrive at your settlement every 720-529 seconds (depending on your upgrades). Traders will not arrive at your settlement during Storm. If their arrival timer reaches zero during Storm Season, they won't be able to enter until Drizzle. The first trader will arrive in 8:30 minutes, regardless of when you construct the Trading Post.

There are also 3 Glade Traders, who can sometimes be found in Small Glades on the map.

Building the Trading Post

Trading Post icon.png

You can find the Trading post in the Construct City Buildings.png City Buildings tab. It requires 10 Wood Wood to build.


Trading with traders

Once the trader has arrived, we can click on their icon or the Trading Post to be directed to the Trading Screen, as seen below:

Trading Screen
  1. In WHITE, we see the amount of time the trader will stay in the settlement, available to trade.
  2. In NEON GREEN, we can type in the amount of goods we are trading. We can also click on the arrows to increase or decrease by 1.
  3. In NEON BLUE, we see the "Auto" function. Clicking this function will have the trader automatically calculate the amount of goods needed to make the trade acceptable to them.
  4. In GREEN on the bottom right, we see the "Assault the Trader" option. See Trader Wares for more information on what assaulting them gives you.
  5. In RED on the middle of the screen, we see visually by how fair the deal is to us or the trader, deals will only be accepted once the button is in the middle of the bar. If the button is too far right and the bar is green, you are getting ripped off.
  6. In ORANGE on the left, we see the Perks and Cornerstones the trader sells, and for how much.
  7. PINK we can see what 1 unit of a good is worth, how much the stack is worth in (brackets) and how many we have in our Warehouse by the Worker storage icon.png. You need to HOVER over the image of the good to get this tooltip.

Assaulting the Trader

Assaulting the Trader has both positive and negative consequences. The specific numbers of exactly what you get is trader dependent, see Trader Wares for the numbers. Below is a more detailed description of the mechanic generally.

Positive: You will get:

  • Some % of the stacks they have with them.
  • Some % of the Perks and Blueprints they have with them.

For each type (resources, and perks / blueprints), the mechanic works like this: Multiply the percent for that trader by the number of stacks of items, and round up. You will get exactly that many stacks, but which stacks will be chosen randomly. The calculation is the same for the number of perks / blueprints.

Negative:

This is a list of all the types of negative consequences. Not all traders will give all negative types. Again, see Trader Wares for the specifics.

You can get:

  • Usually:
  • Rarely:
    • Permanent loss of cost of goods sold to traders (Sothur the Ancient only)
    • Permanent Hostility (glade traders only)

Trade Routes

Trade routes are a way for you to trade your goods for Amber Amber when the trader is not at the Settlement. As you build up the relationship (Standing), you will get more Amber Amber for your goods. This is the most profitable way to earn Amber Amber for your goods

You need Pack of Provisions Pack of Provisions to trade via Trade routes. Trade Routes will refresh with every Season change.

Trading Routes Screen
  1. In YELLOW, is the option to show all Trade Routes, or only Trade Routes you're currently able to fulfill.
  2. In NEON GREEN, we see buttons to increase or decrease the amount of goods we're willing to Trade.
  3. In WHITE, we see the total goods and Pack of Provisions Pack of Provisions we are trading. If you don't have enough Goods or Pack of Provisions Pack of Provisions for a trade route, they are going to be highlighted in red.
  4. In NEON BLUE, we see the amount of time until we get paid for this Trade Route, as well the amount of Amber Amber we are receiving for it.
  5. In PINK, we see the option to collect the Amber Amber from a completed Trade Route as soon as it completes, or to wait until we manually complete it. Please see the Strategy section on why you would use this option.
  6. In RED, we see which goods we currently have in our Warehouses
  7. In ORANGE, we see our current Standing Status with a settlement. Read more about this by clicking on Standing Status.
  8. In GREEN, we see our current Standing with another Settlement / Faction.
  9. In BEIGE, we see the option to buy another Trade Route Option Slot from a specific Faction / Settlement.


Standing with other settlements / Factions

Standing Level

Standing (or relationship) with other Factions / Settlements influence how much your goods are worth to them. The higher your Standing with other Settlements / Factions, the more Amber Amber they are willing to pay on average, and the more goods you will be able to trade with them.

You gain Standing by initiating Trade Routes with Settlements / Factions. How much Amber Amber until your Standing improves, can be viewed by hovering over the name of the Faction / Settlement in the Trade Routes Screen and looking at the section indicated by the YELLOW arrow.

For some examples of the effect Standing has on Trade Routes, see the following sheet.








Tradable Goods with other settlements / Factions

Factions and Settlements have a set list of goods they want to trade with your settlement. The following image depicts those goods, it is sorted by biome. This image is courtesy of ZazStudio, an ATS streamer.

City Score

As your settlement expands and you place down buildings, your city score will increase. The higher your city score, the higher the chance for a high-level trader to visit your settlement. Negative City Score prevents any traders from visiting.

As a general rule of thumb[1] for city attractiveness score:

  • 0 points: Roads, Decorations and Rain collectors
  • 1 point: Camps and Hydrant
  • 2 points: Basic housing, farms(exclude small farm), and basic production
  • 3 points: Small Farm, Luxury housing, and trading post
  • 5 points: Most other buildings
  • 8 points: Service buildings
  • 10 points: Small Hearth, Forsaken Altar, and Rare glade ruins (e.g. Homestead)

Refer to the sheet for the score of each building.[2]

Attacking most traders permanently reduces your city score. To see by how much, please visit Trader Wares.

Strategy

Trivia

  • Effects that increase traders' arrival rate are capped at +900% and cannot reduce the time between traders below ~71 seconds.[5]
  • Perks that give Bonuses for trading Amber Value do not take Amber spent on Perks, Blueprints and Cornerstones into account.
