An explorer arrives at Hazelbrook carrying flint. A little leather would be useful back home. You choose what to sell, what to buy, and see how much money the camp will have left.

That small exchange now reaches into Farcamp’s simulated regional economy. The town has its own stocks and funds. Buying from it removes real goods; selling to it adds supplies and pays your camp. The explorer still has to carry the purchase home.



The neighbours also get a head start: three simulated years of production and trade before your camp lands. Their workshops have had time to work, and their markets have a history. An old report is like a shopping list written last week—you can plan with it, but the shelves may have changed when you arrive.



We also corrected the price on the other side of the counter. A colony offering the same goods for sale and replenishment now buys below its selling price, leaving room for handling and risk. Selling cargo can build up your camp’s treasury for a later trip.

## Open questions

- This connection covers existing named game goods. Grain and other laboratory-only categories still need their proper place in the playable game, alongside generated local species.
- How well do the trade opportunities and travel costs feel during an ordinary survival playthrough?
