Merchants and Trading
June 19, 2026 at 09:06 AM
Added ore-nugget economy guide, ore farming methods, and full trader list
There is no gold in the Colony. Everything is bought and sold with ore nuggets, the same lumps of magic ore the Old Camp ships out from under the Barrier. Nuggets pay for weapons, armor upgrades, training, and skills, so learning to farm and spend them well is one of the first things every prisoner figures out.
Trader prices shift with supply and demand: the more of an item a merchant already holds, the less they pay for another. Each trader also stocks different goods, and their inventory can change as the story advances, so it pays to shop around.
