Feature request - Trading System

[Rameet Mashta]

I understand ONI is primarily a single-player experience, but wouldn't it be cool to share some stuff with friends online? Like, trading extra food for some much-needed metal to help them out?

This could make playing with friends even more fun by letting us:

• Help each other get what we need.
• Work together to build awesome colonies.
• Add a new challenge of figuring out what to trade.

Of course, you wouldn't want things to get out of hand. Maybe only allow trading with friends and keep it to certain things so it stays fun for everyone.

Thanks for listening!

Yeah, I believe it's the best (if not- ONLY) way of creating ONI multiplayer without changing the whole game.

There could be some building for that, or it could utilize opened Temporal Tear for lore reasons.

You must remember it's balance could be easily broken, but if you restrict it only to friends' offer, it's not much worse than using crazy mods.

I actually had this as an idea but instead of steam friends there would be an occasional space ship piloted by aliens that would trade, although you would only be able to trade if you breached the surface.
