In the Global Market you can buy resources from other players. Need coal for your Power Plant ? you can get it here. Or in the future when they are online again compete for a spot on the Leaderboards !
Importing and Exporting Resources to and from the Global Market Requires a Trade Depot or Trade Port. The Difference between the two is the amount of Storage, the way the goods can be shipped, and how often depending on that.The Trade Port allows for shipping by Rail or Sea, provided you build the required module for it.
To Trade a resource select either the Trade Depot or Port and click on Manage Global Market Deliveries.
For each Storage Lot type that you have at the facility you are presented with a tab that allows you to set what to do with that Resource. The options are “use locally” , “import” and “export”. This can differ Between facilities. So one Trade Depot could Import coal while you set another to Export it. Keep this in mind when changing the settings for a Resource Type.
Setting it to Use Locally means that the resource type can be stored here until another industry building needs it. For instance Raw ore from a Ore Mine can be stored at the Trade Port until the Smelting Factory has the need or place for it.
