Omega Haxors Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Here are the various things that traders can sell. The values on stock/demand and price are able to fluctuate somewhat. Food Trader will sell you: Cactus Fruit x 4 Stock: 3 Price: 2 gears Value - Debatable. It is the only renewable source of Cactus Fruit. Heals 1hp on consumption. Blueberry/Cranberry x 8 Stock: 8 Price: 1 gear Value - Not worth it. Berries are very easy to obtain. Bowl of Honey x 4 Stock: 2 Prince: 1 gear Value - Very high. Used to preserve the fast-rotting berries, make the BIS healing items, and you get to keep the bowl. Parsnip x 8 Stock: 8 Price: 2 gears Value - Not worth it. Very expensive for what it gives. Beeswax x 2 Stock: 4 Price: 2 gears Value - Very high. Used to seal crocks and make the best lighting in the game. All Variations of Bread x 8 Stock: 4 Price: 2 gears Value - Good. Bread is easy to make in the copper age, but this trade gives 1200 saturation per gear. Cooked Redmeat x 8 Stock: 4 Price: 2 gears Value - Not worth it. Cannot be used in cooking and is very expensive compared to bread. Animal Fat x 3 Stock: 4 Price: 2 gears Value - Extremely high. Buy out whenever possible. Fat is used to make automation and power transfer, and can seal crocks. Food Trader will buy from you: Bowl x 6 Demand: 5 Price: 1 gear Value - Very High. You can sell the bowl back to the trader after buying honey. Super nice. Tin/Bismuth Bronze Hoe x 1 Demand: 2 Price: 2 gears Value - Pretty good. You can convert abundant metal into some gears with a little bit of work. Tin/Bismuth Bronze Knife/Scythe x 1 Demand: 2 Price: 3 gears Value - Very good. Same process as making the hoes, but gives 1 more gear. Black Bronze Hoe and Knife/Scythe x 1 Demand: 2 Price: 3 and 4 gears respectively Value - Debatable. If you can afford to mass produce black bronze, go for it. Otherwise give it a pass. Linen Sack x 1 Demand: 2 Price: 1 gear Value - None. There is never a situation where you would want to sell this. This is a waste of a slot. Bee Skep x 1 Demand: 1 Price: 1 gear Value - Extremely high. Can be made at very early game. It's pretty much a free gear. Soybean x 16 Demand: 4-6 Price: 1 gear Value - Extremely low. Soybeans are the best source of protein and keep for a very long time. Salt rock x 20 Demand: 3 Price: 1 gear Value - Extremely bad. Salt is extremely valuable, you shouldn't be selling it for this low. Open/Closed Wooden Crate x 1 Demand: 3 Price: 1 gear Value - Rare item obtained by raiding structures. Sell it for some extra gears. Wolf Pup x 1 Demand: 1 Price: 10 gears Value - Covered in Stonks! Cornering the Market. Pumpkin x 4 Demand: 5 Price: 1 gear Value - Good if you have them. Very few probably do, though. All clothing is only obtainable via dungeons or other shopkeeps. They always sell one at a time and have a demand of 2. Shepherd's Sandals Price: 1 gear Shepherd's Cowl Price: 4 gears Shepherd's Pants/Tunic Price: 6 gears Woolen Leggings/Scarf/Knee-high Boots Price: 6 gears Edited April 15, 2020 by Omega Haxors formatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Haxors Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Survival Trader will sell you: Linen Sack x 1 Stock: 8 Price: 2 gears Value: Very High. You can get an extremely big inventory from the early game using this. Tin and Bismuth Bronze Arrows x 8 Stock: 8 and 4 Price: 2 gears Value: Low. Arrows can be annoying to make but they're not *that* annoying. Black Bronze Arrows x 8 Stock: 4 Price: 3 gears Value: Very Low. Too expensive. Just make Iron arrows or buy Bronze arrows instead. Bow and Arrow x 1 Stock: 2 Price: 4 gears Value: Pretty High, actually. You can save yourself a bit of twine by buying your bow instead of crafting it. Tin/Bismuth Bronze and Black Bronze Sword x 1 Stock: 2 Price: 6 and 7 gears Value: High. Swords last a long time and can really kickstart your early game defence. Tin/Bismuth Bronze and Black Bronze Pickaxe x 1 Stock: 4 Price: 6 and 7 gears Value: EXTREMELY HIGH! You can skip nearly the entire game by buying this. Tin/Bismuth Bronze and Black Bronze Hatchet x 1 Stock: 2 Price: 6 and 7 gears Value: Low. You can always use the flint/stone/obsidian version for practically free. Tin/Bismuth Bronze and Black Bronze Spear x1 Stock: 2 Price: 6 and 7 gears Value: Very High. Very versatile in the early game. The Black Bronze Spear is the best spear at the moment. Straw Bed x 1 Stock: 1 Price: 1 gears Value: Worthless. Unless you're in a desert or a mountain, grass is extremely easy to obtain. Wolf Pup x 1 Stock: 1 Price: 8 gears Value: Covered in Stonks! Cornering the Market. Do not place down, it will just run away from you. Lime x16 Stock: 12 Price: 2 gears Value: High. Lime is usually hard to find, and it will allow you to make leather armor.

Not even remotely worth it. Twine is just such a useful item in so many ways. Feather x 32 Demand: 5 Price: 1 gear Value: Low. Chickens drop a lot of feathers, and if you don't plan on making thousands of arrows, it's a good sink. Charcoal x 12 Demand: 5 Price: 1 gear Value: Low. This can be a good value if you have a large tree farm. Otherwise not worth it. Leather x 2 Demand: 5 Price: 1 gear Value: Moderate. It's easy to make leather in large quantities, but it takes a long time and is quite useful. All Variations of Bread x 8 Demand: 5 Price: 1 gear Value: High. Bread is easy to make and lasts a long time. Bowl of Honey x 2 Demand: 3 Price: 1 gear Value: Low. You lose the bowl. Copper/Tinbronze/Bismuthbronze Lantern x 1 Demand: 2 Price: 3 Value: High. Assuming you can provide the candle. Black Bronze Lantern x 1 Demand: 2 Price: 4 Value: Low. It's better just to make them out of the lesser metals. Copper Ingot x 3 Demand: 5 Price: 1 Value: Situational. Copper is very common but it's used in so many things you might run out. Tin Ingot x 2 Demand: 5 Price: 1 Value: Bad. Tin is very rare and much better used to make alloys for the other trades. Clothing that they will buy from you: Huntsman Tunic Demand: 1 Price: 10 Sturdy Leather Belt Demand: 1 Price: 6 Blacksmith Apron Demand: 1 Price: 6 Snow Goggles Demand: 1 Price: 4 Stained Leather Poncho Demand: 2 Price: 4 Edited April 15, 2020 by Omega Haxors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Haxors Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Stonks! Cornering the Market You can buy items from traders and resell them to other traders for a profit. Items with higher unit values tend to fluctuate more. Cracked Vessels cannot be obtained by normal gameplay, however they can be bought from the Treasure Hunter and then sold to the Commodity Trader, often for a profit! Be careful though, prices are very unstable on these items, these are only averages. Seed Vessel Stock/Demand: 4 Price: Buys for 8 gears, sells for 11 (+3 average) Food/Forage/Ore/Tool/Farming Vessel Stock/Demand: 4 Price: Buys for 6 gears, sells for 9 (+3 average) Carpets are another item that can only be resold from the Luxury Trader to the Furniture Trader. They don't offer any average increase in value, but due to their instability and high unit value, you can still profit quite a bit off of a trade.

Clothing Reselling If you want to take reselling seriously, the real money is in clothing. This is extremely risky and you are going to likely run into many dry spells where simply nobody is buying, or are doing so would net you a loss. But with the greatest risks come the greatest opportunities. I would heavily advise you have a good networking infrastructure set up before doing this. At minimum you should have a path secured between each caravan, with a road being especially ideal. You're going to be doing a lot of travelling.

radfast Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Nice thread. Quote Tin/Bismuth Bronze Hoe x 1Value - Pretty good. You can convert abundant metal into some gears with a little bit of work. You have a strange definition of "abundant" Quote Tin/Bismuth Bronze Knife/Scythe x 1Value - Very good. Same process as making the hoes, but gives 1 more gear. These tools have to be smithed, which is player time consuming and costly in resources (cost 2 charcoal to smith 1 item, and uses up a good fraction of a hammer's durability), and unavailable until you have a Smithy. LazyWarlock's tweaks mod, though, allows bronze knives to be cast in which case knives are cheap, with a metal cost of 0.5 ingot per knife. Even so, unless you have a good source of tin or bismuth+zinc, bronze is a precious metal. Quote Bowl of Honey x 4 Value - Very high. Used to preserve the fast-rotting berries, make the BIS healing items, and you get to keep the bowl. Beeswax x 2 Value - Very high. Used to seal crocks and make the best lighting in the game. Value totally depends on whether you found a wild beehive yet. If you have your own bee farm/apiary, honey and wax are cheap renewable resources. I think a beehive is easier to find than tin / zinc ore, because it's on the surface and it makes a buzzing sound - but maybe situational, if there is no forest biome? 8 x Honey + 2 Bowls for a net cost of 1 gear is an awesome deal, though. Quote Linen Sack x 1 Value - None. There is never a situation where you would want to sell this. This is a waste of a slot. I have 3 x Leather Backpack and a Mining Bag, so I have 4 Linen Bags which I am no longer using... Quote Wolf Pup x 1Value - Unobtainable. This is a dead slot. The Survival Goods trader sells a Wolf Pup, so it is obtainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Haxors Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Holy! The notification sound for these forums are very loud and it made me jump out of my seat. Still an active work in progress, I will address any criticisms upon completion of the documentation. If I spend any level of time debating why I came to my conclusions then I'll get really into it and completely fail to finish the rest of the work that has to be done. Have to get it done first so no time will be wasted. Edited April 15, 2020 by Omega Haxors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladders are very easy to make in qualitity. I'd caution against valuing this trade so highly. True, it's easy to make ladders right from the start, without any tech... but here's the thing: ladders are actually fairly valuable. You're probably going need a clean thousand ladders as you play, unless you get lucky. And gathering sticks is mind-numbingly boring, time consuming drudgework. If people rush to pour sticks into this trade, they're going to regret it. Like, I definitely regret selling three stacks of ladders to my local building supplies merchant. Now I have gears I have no use for, while sticks have become my most valuable resource of them all because every single prospecting mineshaft I dig needs nearly 400 of them to make ladders with. Took me eight such mineshafts until I finally found iron. Do the math on those sticks. And then don't ever sell a single precious ladder. =P Edited April 17, 2020 by Streetwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radfast Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 The "Stonks - Cornering the Market" section is genius - I didn't even notice you can make a profit by arbitrage between different traders, I assumed that traders would buy from you below market price. Awesome spot and very nicely analysed. ---- But I still have many disagreements on the subjective low/high valuations of specific buys and sells. Key points: A lot of the valuations depend very much on your stage in the game - if you are starting out, a few of the trades offer some awesome shortcuts, and it might be worth selling anything you have in surplus (+ your own clothing) to obtain resources you can't yet craft or which are in very short supply. In a "Speed Run" type of game, this could be a key speed element. In contrast, once you have built a decent flax farm (and crafted all the linen items you need such as Linen Sacks / Gamboised Armour / Windmill Sails) then you may have a surplus of flax. Likewise for honey, beeswax, candles - in my current game I have 10 hives producing honey, I use the honey for making fruit jams and therefore have a surplus of beeswax. The same applies to sticks and ladders - I'm not sure I agree with Streetwind, in my game I have planted a large grove of pinetrees next to my house, and I use shears on the leaves before felling the trees, this gives me around 1 stack of sticks from just a few trees. Therefore, sticks and ladders are an easily renewable resource - even though like Streetwind I do use up plenty when mining. You keep suggesting that Tin / Bismuth / Black Bronze trades are bad buys, and good sells. In my game I have plenty of copper, but extremely limited amounts of tin / zinc / silver / gold. Even with prospecting, whenever I find tin it is only a small quantity, and a lot of time and resources are used to find and mine it - a lot of diggy diggy hole needed to find the actual tin ore, even if prospecting signals there is some nearby. So until you reach the game stage where you are using iron for all tools and armour, I don't see how you would ever have surplus bronze. And if a trader is selling Black Bronze tools, I often buy them because they are great, and virtually Unobtainium in my current game. Maybe a lot depends on biome or luck? It is always interesting to note the sales which are non-renewable resources such as rock salt, sulphur and saltpeter. Please can I suggest that you edit to highlight: - key early-game purchases - non-renewable resources - easily farmable items which you can use as trade sales once you reach mid game.

In a "Speed Run" type of game, this could be a key speed element. It's a good point to bring up the various stages of gameplay, but the issue is that so many of the trades are purely valued in context. If I was to point out every single game state that the item could be in, it would turn into a short essay. For the sake of consistency, I tried to respond from the prospective of mid game, except where the early-game advantage was abundantly clear. Since this is where most players are likely to be, it has the greatest reach. I would be interested in a speedrunners analysis, but that's not really in the scope of this. The idea was to give a rough estimation of if it was a 'good' trade or not. 31 minutes ago, radfast said: You keep suggesting that Tin / Bismuth / Black Bronze trades are bad buys, and good sells. Bronze is extremely easy to obtain if you know where to look, though if you're unlucky or are expanding anvil ops then there's a good chance you're going to be low on it. Regardless, 1 single bronze ingot in exchange for a 1-3 gears is still a remarkably good trade, especially with how common it rolls. 1 hour ago, Streetwind said: ladders are actually fairly valuable They really are, though if you ever need more sticks you can always hack down another tree.

One, maybe two ingots of copper for the shears, and you're set. A single sustainable tree grove will give chest after cheat after chest full of ladders.
