Hive Minds can't use Trade Value?

[mcsproot]

I guess it makes sense, not much of a free market in a Hive Mind. And not having to worry about Consumer Goods is a bonus so I guess it balance out.

Quite, it makes sense from both gameplay and flavor perspectives.

It's all the Hive Entity, and it can't trade with itself.

It does make getting Energy Credits a pain in the behind early on unless you use the Internal Market a lot or spam Generator Districts.

In my HM game, I've been getting an excess of minerals and have been selling those, since Alloys and Pops are the bottleneck.

Yeah, not sure how others compare but I think my game started with 80 mineral income per month. I guess using the market a lot is a part of the game and not so much being entirely self sufficient.
