Four months late, but better than nothing.

So here's my understanding:

AI bases always buy the tier 0 commods, as in they show up in the trade bays.

The only one of those 7 commods that actually decays is the set that the ai base rolled.

So if my base buys the higher tier Steel Girders, only the Steel Girders will ever be consumed, and the other 6 tier 0 commods will just fill up to the first cap and never decay.

End understanding.

Why the fuck do they buy the other 6 tier 0's at all? Why not just buy the theme that the ai base rolled and get rid of the others? Seems entirely pointless lol.

"These AI bases will be recognizable by new base graphics."

What about those of us for whom all the base graphics are "new".

I don't suppose you could post a few pics?

It's funny because to get to the sentence that says the base graphics determine commods, you have to scroll past the image. That level of sheer blindness should be applauded.

Yea it was pretty stupid just the same.

WHy only wild space? Will there be no place to sell on EF layer?

For reference Cloud mercury is only 300,000 and 5k of those will wreck your ship.

Yes, they'll buy them for reduced amounts and trade them (but not consume them). This leaves arbitrage opportunities for people or ai to buy low (from bases not consuming them) to sell high (to the consuming bases). Its a little bit of an experiment for this side of it, if it doesn't work out how we hope we can remove or change it.

That's not entirely your fault. The graphic should be in the game login screen because there are people who do not go to websites to read blogs... They just want to play the game.

Will there be no place to sell on EF layer? Maybe because EF space can't be contested. Maybe because they don't want to make EF space profitable.

Are you kidding with these weights? 2m for a jello shot? 4m for a sub-shield? For reference Cloud mercury is only 300,000 and 5k of those will wreck your ship.

The intention is that you trade them in small quantities per unit time. Think of them as essentially heavily compressed forms of the t0 commodities. It would take a long time to create 5k steel girders, compared to a single slave round-trip. You could trade 5k steel girders, 100 at a time. They have only one size each.
