Trade Platform

[DDog]

Is there is list of what it takes to get what? I am trying to get coal...

[timmcd1985]

place what your trying to trade on the platform. then cycle through the resource options and it will tell you how much you will get back.

[timmcd1985]

coal is pretty "expensive"

[miketexas6065]

Only put hydrazine and it will tell how many coal you get for X amount of X amount of hydrazine.

[MindWerks]

not a list, but there are generally 3 or maybe 4 tiers of trade goods.

From my experimentation I have found:

Ore is the cheapest, with resin and compound and organic matter too;

Ingots is one step up: Takes two of the previous tier to make one

Rare items are at the top, lithium, titanium, coal: takes two of the previous tier to make one

So if you are using ore to try to get one coal, it will take 4 ore to make one coal.

There might be a cheaper tier than ore, with stuff like oxygen or power but I haven't played around with it. If it did work it would take a full 8 load to make one rare ore. It will also take 2 of the same tier to make one item of the same tier.

That's pretty much it.

Even at that the trading post is way op and makes colonizing other planets too easy.

Just bring a little resin, couple aluminum and a back pack of supplies and you can have a fully functioning base in no time.

I think they should add a power requirement to the Trading post and maybe some other changes to make the prices increase/decrease depending on your trading patterns. I'm sure that will probably occur eventually.

Using Hydrazine as currency:
1 will give you any of these of your choice: Compound, Resin, Organic
2 will give you: Malachite, Hydrazine, Laterite
4 will give you: Copper, Aluminum
8 will give you: Coal, Lithium, Titanium

this is no longer possible, with the new update Hydrazine is no longer tradable.
HOWEVER
using the Mineral Extractor you can get 4 Laterite/Malachite per full machine, equivalent to 4 aluminum/copper. This can be used to get large quantities of resources with little to no extra work, as all that is needed is soil. 8 filled canisters of soil fill the mineral extractor. Compound, Resin, and Organic can be produced at very high rates, but not sure how efficient it is. 8 compound/resin can be produced with 50% of the total storage of soil.
Equals 16 Compound/Resin per 8 canisters of soil, which is not much in the long run.


TL;DR: Hydrazine no longer tradable, dupe Laterite/Malachite with Mineral Extractor for best results.

Save one of your coal samples for the Mineral Extractor, a full machine will get you 1 coal each time but the same goes for the trade platform; a full 8 tier 1 items will get you 1 coal.

Getting coal from trade platform is ridiculously inefficient xD

It only costs four copper/aluminium. You can do that pretty easily with a dirt mining truck or a decent metal ores cave.

Come to think of it, I never tried sustaining coal that way. Maybe it could work considering there is always at least one mineral that you can access easily on each planet. So you could mass produce that and trade it all in for coal.

I was having a particularly difficult time acquiring energy on Arid because I accidentally landed on a pole with very little suntime. So with no sunlight I went for coal and wind. And wind didn't work much and coal was scarce. But there was a crapload of copper ore. So maybe I could refine it and exhange for coal. Sensible.
