Trading

Overview

Trading is a way to exchange  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* regular Traders arriving every 12 minutes. The first Trader will arrive in 8:30 minutes if you build the Trading Post immediately upon the start of your settlement. There are 3 Glade Traders which can sometimes be found in Glades on the map.

Building the Trading Post

You can find the Trading post in the City Buildings tab. It requires 10  Wood to build. .*This increases to 8 Traders once you have all the Upgrades unlocked. Visit Trader_Wares to see a comprehensive list of Traders and their wares.

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:

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 Assualting Traders for more information.
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 . You need to HOVER over the image of the good to get this tooltip.

Trivia

• Effects that reduce the Waiting time for Traders to arrive cannot reduce the Time between Traders to below 3:15
• Perks that give Bonuses for trading Amber Value do not take Amber spent on Perks, Blueprints and Cornerstones into account.
