Interdimensional Trade (What is this anomaly/quest?)

[Luziferjones]

Hey,

so I had this happening in 2 games now. Someday out of nowhere I got contacted by someone saying: We are like you just out of another dimension, let's do a trading deal"
I agreed... Nothing happend as far as I can tell.

From time to time I now get contacted by them again, saying that they are in war and need to cancle the trade... later they come again and re-enable the trade. But I do not see what the deal does. Do I even get stuff or is this bugged?

I think it increases your planets trade value, it also gives a job that studies the portal and gives Physics.

Hmm... so I'm playing machine empire and don't have trade value at all... Do you think there is something else that buffs me? Cause of the lack of trade value?

Not sure, you should still get the Science job though, I think it gives +40 Physics output, and you can have another job for every 40 pops you have on that planet.

as a Hive it just gave me dark matter and lead to a negative zone.

Okay thanks for the answer!

Ohh right now if I remeber I got dark matter too. 3 of it. I thought it was from a research, because the interdimensonal event happend when I was kinda busy with dealing with other things.
Now it makes sense. Thanks!

you seem to get dark matter random over time, got a few 100s, but the monthly income is still 0 for them.

I actually got 3 darkmatter in a system, after that event. So maybe its radnom. Either u get one time payments or a monthly source of it.. hmmm

Most of the above seems correct. Checking back and forth between saves: Seems to primarily affect the *planet* that the portal is on. My planet's amenities jumped from 5 to 11 after the event; trade value jumped from 5 to 10. There's the extra research job for the portal, and at 40 pops, the planet also picks up another +1 dimensional researcher's job.

[Terijian]

just to be super clear, the quest provides a job (sometimes more as jimgalaxy said above, based on pop)
The job will give different resources based on what the other dimension is like. Sometimes its like an epty void and you can get the null beam weapon. Sometimes its a utopia, someties they are in war, ive had quite a few outcomes so far.

But yeah there will be a planet with the portal on it that gives you portl researcher jobs.
Should be in the "rare features" tab or whatever

there's more than that, one of the outcomes gives the planet a buff called interdimensional trade, more than just the portal researcher job.
