All connected buildings will attempt share and trade commodities with each other where needed. Processing industries will fetch raw resources from resource harvesting industries, and factories will fetch the processed materials to make their products.
This is all automatic once the trade connection is established, but only within the same solar system. Trade between solar systems has to be setup with shipments or cargo ships.
Connection Types
In order for buildings to share commodities with eachother a trade connection is required with each other. There's five different types of trade links:
- Neighbor connection
- Two buildings that are within ?m of each other are considered connected.
- Road connection
- Road can connect buildings over a greater distance cheaply. All buildings near the road will be connected.
- Sea connection
- Air connection
- A building connected to an airport terminal will be connected with all other buildings also connected to a airport terminal on the same world.
- Space connection
- A building connected to an airport terminal will be connected with all other buildings also connected to a airport terminal in the same solar system.
Fetching
Buildings fetch commodities they need from other connected buildings. This is the same for construction, manufacturing and impoting.
For example: a machine shop producing hammers using metal will attempt to fetch metal from any connected building, be it from a smelter, warehouse or other building.
Waste
A commodity might be wasted when fetched if it fails a quality check.
Importers
Some buildings import specific commodities in order to have them available for sale or to assist connected buildings.
- Airport terminal and capitol will import food and air to support connected population.
- Warehouse will import the one specified commodity type.
- ...
Reservation
In order to prevent cities from losing essential commodities to other cities, buildings in certain environments reserve a minimum stock of some commodities:
