Barter and Container Valuation
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
Barter trades items rather than supplying the cash you may need for rent. UPDATE 049 fixes barter offers carrying into another customer's trade and corrects how premium or discount modifiers apply to goods sold inside containers.
Evaluate the actual received objects
Check every offered item's condition, contents and role in your next production cycle. Previewing containers before purchase is supported in UPDATE 049. Count the materials you can actually use, not a displayed category or a hoped-for resale value.
| Container pricing fix | Buyer modifiers no longer apply twice to contents |
|---|---|
| Barter exploit fix | Offer items cannot carry to the next customer |
Keep barter separate from exchange recipes
A visitor's barter is not the overnight Underground Exchange. Exchange rules can limit a recipe to one acceptance per night and consume particular matching objects. In either case, a favorable paper valuation can still leave you without liquid credits when the next rent payment arrives.
