Hello everyone, this is Coggernaut! I'm currently working on an economy mod that will be very complex. We won't be adding simple unbalanced credit transfers... No, we're going bigger!

We plan to allow merchants to trade from one station to another with bulk trade items. Items only obtainable through credits can be sold at stations (Who buy at a higher price).

Credit Transfer Items will not be allowed in Survival. This is because players should not be allowed to build Credit Transfer Vendors on their ships. This should only be allowed by Admin Spawned Stations (List Below).

Commodities price will be calculated carefully to avoid anything unbalancing. Players will not be allowed to buy certain metals (Platinum, Uranium, and Magnesium) This is because these are rare minerals and should not be easily bought!

This mod will have certain Trade Stations Vendors. Each Vender will have 3 types of "Markets" with different demand/supply values for each items sold/bought. The type of markets are: "Facility type" Market A, B, and C. Each vender will have a High, Medium, and Low demand/supply. Some Markets of the same facility type will sell the same set of items but at different prices.

What these stations sell exactly will be determined soon! All stations will have Custom Blueprints that will be linked with this mod!


This should be on the workshop sometime in the future! It's a lot of number crunching and a really BIG overhaul of trade! We're essentially adding in a whole gameplay mechanic!


What is done Currently?
- Commodities
- Station Venders

What needs to be done?
- Proper Pricing
- Additional market variations of each station.
- Models of Commodities


If you are a friend of mine, you can test it out too! Give me feedback!

I am interested in the station at the thumbnail. It looks really E:D-ish, and i want a 100% vanilla BluePrint in my astronaut suit computer. Is it possible?

This mod will be tailored to prices from our Multi-Player server, and have had a lot of thought put in. These prices will be balanced.

Again, this is a work in progress. Though right now it is in a stable state.

Icons, prices, and models will be updated shortly.


One of each station is currently available. Other Market Variations of each station will come later.
