[Freacly]

How to trade between regions? Is the packing station the only way?

In beta patch you can set good to trade only between regions with a tickbox.

Thanks. I will give that a try, was not aware of this option.

Sorry I did not know there is another way and was not aware of the trade option.

[OKOK]

Wow I don't know either. Got to check the new add on.

Trade between regions decides when it wants to work. I simply could not get the trading post trading between regions option to work and had to fall back on packing stations which have their problems as well. Dev should really fix this as region specialty is supposed to be a part of the game

PartyElite demonstrated this in his video playthrough and I've since successfully used in mine.

It just requires a bit of mental co-ordination from the player.

1. Set the Trading Post in the source Region to Export and set the minimum they are to keep.

2. Go to the destination Region and set the same item to Import and state how much.

The game seems to recognise that there is a demand in the destination region which can be met from the source region and transports goods from A to B. The advantage being that whilst the Exporting Region doesn't get the full value of the exported items, the destination region only pays the export price for the imported goods.

It works best with mundane goods that don't require a Trade Route. I've used to to send food from my farming region to my mining region and to transfer building materials like roof tiles.

Of course if you deliberately, or accidentally, cancel the Export or Import status on a transfer item then it cancels the deal and you end up paying full price if you are not careful.

Check box is for 'Allow Foreign Trade" Just un-check it. (white square with check)

I don't play the Patch because of all the rubbish Gold Sinks that were added like Kings Tax and the Trade Expenses hike.

But as stated above it is possible to do even without the patch using the PartyElite method.

This does not work whatsoever. I've got traders doing nothing with no goods being moved between regions. Only the pack stations semi work, and even that is a complete headache

Yeah, the trading port set up for regional trade seems to just not work properly right now.
In the first year, it seems that some goods got collected and transported, but the import region just never got these goods in stock. I just wanted to import resources for beer production, i even deactivated the tavern just to see if the beer stock rose, but nothing happens for years... With the import of these resources from the market, it works.

I think it got screwed up by the recent patch.

It was working fine before the Global/Region flag was added. Now i must admit nothing is moving between regions in my game and I've had to revert back to using Pack Depots. Which is a bit a shame as it was working fine before it became official,

The trade section of the trading post has changed with the new update.
Previously major trades were locked until you bought the trade route and now they are unlocked but wont function until you buy the route.

So if say you set shoes to export then the trading post workers will go and get shoes and pile them up in the trading post but they wont start exporting them until you buy the trade route. Minor trades can still be imported and exported without buying a trade route.

I haven't checked yet as I've just started my second region but I think you can also move major trades between your regions without buying a trade route by unchecking the little box next to the item's name.
