Commodities are a type of resource in Everspace 2 primarily used as a mean of gaining Credits as they typically have no other use in gameplay outside of unlocking 2 perks and being the deliverables of item acquisition jobs.
Trading[]
Demand for commodities varies across the DMZ, with stations in some systems willing to exchange them at higher prices than those in other systems. Enterprising players can take advantage of this by purchasing commodities with a low demand in one system, then selling them at a premium in another system with a high demand for those goods. The value of a commodity does not change with time, it entirely depends on the player's current location and docked station.
When buying from or selling to a station, commodity icon border colors will change depending on their demand at that station. When buying at low demand (cheap), it will be green, medium is orange, and high (expensive) is red. When selling, it is reversed - high is green, low is red.
Earning at least 5000 Credits by selling one stack of Commodities awards the "Credits Where Credits Are Due" achievement.
- This can be done by selling a full stack of Solar Panels or Cybernetic Implants at Zethes Research Station.
