Trader

The Trader oversees the scrapyard, where a player can swap one resource on a planet for another, based on a set exchange rate of 3:2:1 for metal, crystal and deuterium. (Example: swap 1000 units of deuterium for 2000 units of crystal or 3000 units of metal). To access the Trader, tap Officers on the Menu screen and select Trader tab.

  • From the “Call Trader” dropdown list, select the resource that you wish to sell, then tap the green “Call trader” button.
  • On the next screen, enter the amount of the resource(s) you wish to buy in exchange for the one you are selling (you may select two resources at once). Listed below each resource is the maximum available storage for that resource on your current planet. Successful trades are subject to having enough space to store the resource you are trading for, and having enough of the resource you are selling to complete the trade. If either of these conditions are not met, a red warning message appears.
  • If the requirements of the trade are correct, press the green Swap button to complete the trade. A successful trade will produce a green confirmation message. The resources on your planet will be adjusted automatically to reflect the trade.
