Daily deals

[vindicar]

Can we play a reverse card on them, please?
They always ask me to either buy the mineral I already have the most of, or sell the one I have the least of.

it's completely random

Doesn't feel that way half the time. What's that? 80 Enor Pearls in your inventory? Wanna sell 160 for a 150% profit? B]

I believe your issue is: confirmation bias. Otherwise, it is hardcoded to intentionally make it the most frustrating mechanic ever conceived. I will go with the former for now until actual evidence presents itself ;)

I don't see any issue with your suggestion... I just can't remember the last time I even opened the trade interface TBH. It's just a small step toward making the entire thing "just pick what mineral you want to trade for", which already exists, you just cannot get a special deal for it.

That's the whole thing. Between this feature not existing and it existing as it is right now, I'm not sure whici is better. Sure, I could ignore it... but why take time and effort to make something like that? What was the point?
I even started to suspect it follows some kind of twisted "law of scarcity" where minerals that are "rare" cost more and thus are in higher demand to buy, and vice versa. But it doesn't.

considering everybody has the same deal, it's just nonsense. :P
Random is just that : random.

I think a good change would be to have two daily deals, one for buying one for selling, and both being completely random.

In any case, the Mineral Trade terminal isn't supposed to be consistently helpful. You use it when you're, for lack of a better word, desperate. For instance you need 100 Enor Pearl but Sand Blasted Corridors and Salt Pits aren't in rotation, and you don't have enough time for another mission, that's where you'd consider consulting the Mineral Trade.

heck i have from 2500 to 7000 of everything, when i see i can sell something i sell, otherwise i dont care xD

[V0lcanF1re]

tell R&D to make better deals and GSG to be create better deals lol
but managment don't want it to happen.

In the long run it is always a good idea to take any sell deal you can get. You need way, way more credits than minerals to buy everything compared to what you get per mission on average.

I actually suggested the daily deals format as a QOL update and take on slime ranchers mineral market (probably along with hundreds of other players mind) but for me the mineral drops seem to have changed significantly over the past 6 months to the point where you're swamped with them.
