Trading Outpost Scenario
- The trading pod allows you to post job offers for new workers, contact trading ships, and transport goods or workers to/from the planet
- Central to the Trading Outpost scenario, Galacticoins are used to buy from traders, hire new workers and ultimately purchase the Planetary Ownership
- As aspirational farmers, the founders of the outpost possess some knowledge of farming, enabling some known crops to be planted right away
- Traders will contact your outpost periodically through notifications to sell their goods, technologies and crops, while also buying what they need themselves
- Research and crafting unique to this scenario:
- Trade Goods can be crafted from various materials at a Workbench, and while they ultimately can't be consumed by your survivors, they can be sold at a higher price when trading than raw resources
- Counterfeit money is a new breakthrough allowing you to print Galacticoins on 3D printers
- Research Safes to unlock a new storage device that stores only Galacticoins and protect them from attacks and theft
- New character traits: Farm owner, Hired worker
