Trade Platform

The is one of the Modules in Astroneer. It requires 2 Aluminum to be constructed, but first need to be unlocked in the Research Module.

Each Resource in the game has a certain value when it is traded, based on its rarity as listed below:

Each item is sold for half the value it costs to purchase. For example, 1 laterite costs 4 compound to purchase but will only sell for 2 compound.

The limited Resin on Barren makes the Trade Platform an easy option to obtain some. Combined with the Fuel Condenser, 8 Hydrazine may be traded for 8 Resin or 8 Compound.

Tips
Using a fuel condenser to create Hydrazine to sell with the Trade Platform is a common practice as it's a direct way to turn power into resources.
