Stationers Trading Update IV Patch Notes

Stationers update IV has just landed with a patch on the Trading feature, and we have compiled its complete list of changes here. The game’s trading feature will change some Trader Overhaul and Gas trading aspects as well as introduce new trader types. And now, let’s have a look at the official patch notes on the Stationers Trading update IV.

Stationers Trading Update IV Patch Notes

Trader Overhaul

• The previous trader updates changed the way you contact and summon traders, and this update finally changed who the traders are and what they trade.
• There’s a complete overhaul of how the traders and wares are defined.
• Unlike in the past when the game would automatically generate goods and prices, players can now author them by hand.
• Modders can create new unique traders easily.
• Generally, traders only trade more basic items rather than fully manufactured goods.
• They also don’t buy and sell the same things but will buy items that make thematic sense. For example, the alloy trader sells alloys but wants to buy ores.
• Traders will also occasionally want to sell or buy special items.

New Trader Types

There are currently 5 unique traders, each buying and selling their unique goods. Higher Tier versions of the traders will trade a wider variety of items.
They are:

• Ore Trader: More Ore Less
• Alloy Trader: All Alloys
• Hydroponics Trader: Green Futures
• Gas Trader: Gas For Less
• Construction Trader: Build INC

Gas Trading

• With two new landing pad modules, you can now load gas and water into your landing pad storage, allowing you to sell them to traders.
• Hovering over the gas icon will display a tooltip letting you know the exact conditions of the gas mixture that the trader will accept.
• The landing pad has a single storage atmosphere.
• The capacity of this storage atmosphere is expandable but is not intended for long-term storage, and you will need to purge it before loading it into a new gas mix to sell. Otherwise, it will mix with the existing one.

New Trader UI

• Since the traders are more bespoke and sell a more well-defined set of goods, a new UI was required to display this information better.
• The UI is designed to provide a better trading experience.
• The buy and sell sections are separated into their tabs, and each trade item is made larger and easier to parse.
• How you complete trades has changed as well.
  • Previously, you would select everything you wished to buy and sell and then submit your trade.
  • Now you simply buy and sell as you go for each item.

What’s Next?

RocketWerkz also shared that they have one more trading update to come. In the next update, you’ll see the following;

• leveraging all the features and improvements, we’ve made in the last four updates to finalize and polish the trading game loop.
• Traders with different sizes and environmental requirements will require you to set up your landing pad differently and encourage you to have multiple landing pads that meet these requirements.

Stationers Trading update IV for February 1, 2023, is live on PCs, while its patch notes are available on its Steam Page.
