This guide will tell you how to unlock Trading in The Planet Crafter, how Trading Works, and the best way to earn Terra Tokens!

You'll unlock most of your new recipes in The Planet Crafter through progressing Terraforming or by finding Blueprint Chips, but that's not the only way to get new equipment -- the Space Trading Update has added a new way to get unique items called Trading. Read on to learn more about it!

How to Unlock Trading in The Planet Crafter

You can unlock Trading in The Planet Crafter by progressing to the "Breathable Atmosphere" stage of Terraforming according to the v0.8.008 patch notes. The recipe will arrive in the Mail.

How Trading Works

Trading makes use of a new currency called "Terra Tokens" which you can find in containers or earn through Trading. You'll have to Build a Space Trading Rocket once you've unlocked the Blueprint. From there, you can fill the Space Trading Rocket with up to 25 items.

You can only buy or sell certain items with Trading. Items for sale must be placed in the Space Trading Rocket's inventory, either by yourself or by Drones. You can set the Space Trading Rocket to automatically launch when its inventory is full; it will automatically return after around 10 minutes.

If you wish to buy items, you must select them in the Space Trading Rocket's menu at the console nearby. You'll need enough Terra Tokens to purchase these items. Once you've made your selection, you can launch the Space Trading Rocket; it will return after 10 minutes with your purchased items in its inventory and the option to automatically launch disabled, ensuring that you can actually collect your purchases.

Best Way to Get Terra Tokens

The best way to get Terra Tokens is by selling Pulsar Quartz or Circuit Boards; they sell for 10 Terra Tokens each, much more than any other item.

You can automate the Crafting and transportation of either Circuit Boards or Pulsar Quartzes using Drones; this will essentially allow you to have a steady, automatic income of Terra Tokens over time.
