A Trade Route is a path through star systems based on trade commodity economics.

Summary [ ]

A Trade Route is an optimized warp/portal path through star systems based on the different trade commodities bought and sold in the systems' economies.

A star system's Economic system determines which Marketed Tradeables are bought and sold at Galactic Trade Terminals in that system. By following a Trade Route, you lot can ensure yous are ownership items which will be in high demand in the next organization in the route. Although you can profitably sell the Marketed Tradeables at whatsoever system of a dissimilar Economy Type (i.due east. you tin can sell Avant-garde Materials in any non-Advanced Materials system), yous will maximize your profit by following the routes. Each of the 2 Merchandise Routes are loops, and so that if you chain together enough systems to overcome inventory restocking delays (run into beneath), you tin warp through your road nearly indefinitely.

Trade Route Specifics [ ]

There are ii main Merchandise Routes, which concatenation Economic system Types together. Note that these are directional - you should visit systems in this order for maximum proceeds. You lot can "enter" the route at any Economy Type, only from so on you lot should follow the loop.

Trading -> Advanced Materials -> Scientific -> [back to Trading]

Mining -> Manufacturing -> Technology -> Power Generation -> [back to Mining]

Building Your Trade Routes [ ]

When building your ain Trade Routes, yous volition desire to examine the Economic system of star systems (an Economy Scanner is vital for doing this efficiently) and find systems with a Strong economy and Buy/Sell Modifiers as shut to -thirty% (the discount when you purchase) and +lxxx% (the markup when you sell) as possible. You are not limited to only 3 or 4 systems in your route - you can concatenation as many systems together every bit you find.

Strong Economy - this ensures that the highest-value Marketed Tradeables will be available, and in large quantities
Purchase/Sell Modifiers - finding optimal modifiers volition ensure you buy for the lowest price and sell for the highest

When commencement edifice a road, yous can concentrate on Strong Economies to go started, and and so alter your road equally y'all notice replacement hops with better Purchase/Sell modifiers.

Since planetary Trade Outposts provide better prices than Infinite stations, upon finding a promising star system, warp to information technology and use your Economic system Scanner to find an outpost on i of the planets. Ready up a base of operations and optionally a portal gate at the outpost so yous can quickly jump from organization to arrangement when trading.

Using Your Trade Routes [ ]

Planetside vs Space Station Prices And Inventory [ ]

You will get meliorate buy prices from planetary Merchandise Outposts, and better sell prices from their terminals and NPCs, than you will from space stations. Additionally, all planetary outposts in a organisation share a single inventory and pricing marketplace. If you buy up all Non-Stick Pistons from planet A, and then an outpost on planet B in the same organization will besides be out of stock for a while. And if you sell all of your Bromide Salt at Planet A, the toll will be depressed at all other planets in the arrangement (see next section).

The Space Station in a organisation has its ain inventory, at somewhat worse prices. If you have enough infinite you can deplete both planetary and Space Station stocks to sell them at the adjacent system down the line (definitely sell it all at a planet outpost!).

Inventory levels will recover over time. With two long trade routes composed of multiple systems each information technology is possible to traverse the routes indefinitely, making profit at each hop.

Effects of Selling on Local Price [ ]

Selling items to a trade terminal will depress the subsequent price for that detail inside that market (Planetside or Space Station). So if you sell to a terminal, always sell your entire stock at once. Every item in the batch will sell for the listed price and then later on the sale the cost volition drop. Selling items to NPC pilots will not affect prices, so if y'all plan on running your trade route more than once in a play session, yous may wish to observe an NPC pilot to sell to. Compare the NPC prices to the outpost or Space Station terminal price to be sure you are not losing pregnant turn a profit just due to toll differences. Prices can be different even between 2 NPCs at the same outpost/station so if it'southward a decorated day check in with more than than i NPC to maximize profit.

NPC pilots do not sell the Marketed Tradeables, so the terminals are your only choice for filling your inventory.

Communication [ ]

An easy bridge to remember the two trade routes are the terms Particular and Auto. Industrial-Technological-Free energy-Mine and Commercial-Alchemy-Research.
Create several trade routes of expert systems so you tin can switch between them during recovery. It should be noted that players cannot bear on other player'south prices. So don't be afraid to share them.
If yous don't have many trade routes, make sure you scout the planets for the port with the all-time prices and the 1 with the highest production. If i has fifty and the other has 75, ownership at the bad port volition put the other at -25. You lot won't find the goods there anymore. Always buy at the best outset if y'all want to maximize profit and then buy at the best producer to maximize trade appurtenances.
Keep an eye on the space station prices. If the planets drop too low, sell there. E'er sell in bulk, as the reduced price hits subsequently the fact.
Continue to explore more loftier value systems to not run dry.
Prices volition update (per particular) after a UI refresh such as switching from exo-suit to starship inventory in the trade terminal. To ensure best prices for all your goods, attempt to go along all units of a single item in the aforementioned inventory.
