Trading on the Exchange
Purchasing on the Exchange
In the 'Exchange' tab, find the materials you wish to buy. You can either type the material's name in the search bar or find it in the list.
- Click on the material you wish to purchase.
- Type in the quantity you want.
- Click the 'Buy' button.
Purchased materials are placed in your Exchange Warehouse. Once you've bought everything you need, you'll have to transport it from the Exchange to your base.
Transporting Materials from the Exchange
To transport materials from the Exchange to your base, you need to use one of your ships.
At the start of the game, one of your ships is at your base, and the second ship is at the Exchange. If you don't have a ship parked at the Exchange, follow these steps:
- Click on the ship you want to use.
- Start typing "Exchange" into the destination field.
- Click on the suggested 'Exchange Station'.
- Click the 'Start flight' button.
Note: You should also consider loading up any goods you would like to sell from your base before sending the ship.
Load Materials onto Your Ship
Once you have a ship parked at the Exchange, you can load it directly from the 'Exchange' tab. Select the ship and click the arrow button next to the material you want to transport.
Send Your Ship to Your Base
Once you've loaded all the materials into your ship's cargo hold, click the ship's name, select your base as the destination, and then click the 'Start flight' button.
When the ship arrives at your base, you can unload it in the 'Base' > 'Warehouse' tab. These materials can then be used for production or construction.
Selling on the Exchange
To sell materials on the Exchange, you must first transport them from your base to the Exchange using one of your ships.
- Once your ship is at the Exchange, unload the materials from the 'Exchange' tab. To do this, select your ship and click the arrow button next to the material you want to unload.
- After the materials are in the Exchange Warehouse, press the Cashbag button next to the material you want to sell.
- Type in the quantity you want to sell and the price you want to sell it for.
This will create a sales offer, and other players will be able to buy your materials.
