This is something that really needs to be added to the game. Makes no sense that rare metals are the only thing that can be exported

It makes a lot of sense that rare metals are the only thing you can export to Earth. Literally every other resource is abundant on Earth so why would they spend all that money buying it from Mars?

Now if you were talking about making the trading between the different sponsors on Mars using the Space Race DLC much more versatile then I'd agree. But even then you still have supply and demand.

it would be too easy than to just sell off your excess resources and gain unlimited $

Martian crops and seeds would be a big seller, even if they tasted the same.
I'd like something to do with my 17k and climbing seeds. The only thing I can use them for is things that use seeds to make more seeds, it's getting ridiculous.

Necroin' this post, as I'm still hopin' for a mod that would allow exporting of all resources.

As for those that say it DOES NOT make sense to export things other then Rare Metals, I ask you to review the information on Martian Concrete. To summarize, it's stronger then earth-made concrete, AND to recycle it, all you have to do is reheat it. So, if nothing else, that might in theory be a viable export.

Plus, if nothing else, when you've started to send tens of thousands of resources to earth, the cost associated with it would go down. Sure, starting out, it would cost a LOT more to buy metals, or concrete from Mars on Earth. But over time, that cost would come down, and it would be potentially profitable for earth-based organizations to buy it.

All of that above aside, any modder out there interested in makin' something like this? :)
