Twine was cheap in one town and expensive in another. Before sending someone out, it helps to put both reports on the table—and check whether the trip will leave room in their backpack for dinner.

Farcamp’s playable valley map now opens into a fullscreen planning view. Towns appear as little clusters of buildings, using the same drawing as the economy demo. Click one to see its name and the information your explorer brought home. Unexplored land stays hidden.



The comparison shows what each town offered to sell, what it wanted to buy, when the report was gathered and an approximate journey time. Choosing a quote opens that destination with a shopping note or a cargo plan. The actual trade is still your decision when the explorer arrives.

It is a traveller’s notebook, not a live stock ticker. Even the buildings remember the last visit: a town may have grown since you saw it. A promising price difference can disappear while someone is on the road.

The playtest checks the whole loop on a separate copy of its save: buy twine, carry it home, pack it for the other town, sell it and return with more money. That worked for this route; the displayed difference is before food and travel costs.

## Open questions

- How useful are the comparisons after several seasons of ordinary play, when reports have different ages?
- These resale journeys still return through camp. Direct journeys between towns remain a later step.
