Following on from this blog post by yclepticon, the new industrial commodities system has been added to the game with the recent universe reset.
28 new commodities have been added to act as sinks for commodities from t0 to t3, and are able to be sold to AI bases across wild space. These commodities are produced using factories purchased in Capella and can be equipped to your bases to convert the basic extracted commodities into more profitable forms.
This system is intended to replace selling items such as Extensor Ys as a sink for your metals and other resources (blueprint constructed items will no longer be possible to sell to AI bases this universe), and compliment future colony changes.
These AI bases will be recognizable by new base graphics.
The commodities exist in seven themed sets of four, with each commodity requiring some of the one before it.
Industrial Commodities in AI bases
Each AI base will trade in one complete theme set of commodities, and most of the Tier 0 commodities, randomly spread throughout wild space. Commodities sold to these AI bases will be consumed at a constant rate, allowing players and trade slaves who can keep up a steady supply to generate significant income. The Industrial Commodities that are not part of an AI base’s assigned set will not be consumed. (e.g. If an AI base trades in the four Girder commods but not all four Cell commods, it will not consume Fusion Cells).
Rates are designed based on the extraction rates of player bases, and may be subject to tweaking over the coming universes as necessary. Currently they are around 100-200k per AI base at the t0 level, down to 1-5k per day at the t3 level. Prices scale from a 200% to a 50% of the midpoint value depending on the amount in each AI base.
Industrial Commodities will be wiped from storages over universe resets.
