Regional goods markets

Markets Logistics Economy

Goods now trade through 25 physical exchange hubs. Compare domestic supply, delivery costs and arrival times across a smaller network of regional markets.

Larger countries now have a few regional exchanges with separate stock and order books. The US has New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles; Australia has Sydney and Perth. Other cities remain connected by freight, leaving room for local producers and traders.

Open Markets to compare all hubs in a country, then choose a hub when placing an order. Construction and business supply purchases compare domestic sources, include delivery costs, and can combine stock from several hubs. Items bought at the same hub share a freight consignment.

Nearby published one-time supplier offers are also visible from the market and supply screens. Open an offer to see its goods, delivery and terms, then choose a business to receive it.

Regional NPC stock comes from the country's existing supply. Existing player orders, inventory and shipments keep their original locations. Switzerland now has a playable Zurich location with local infrastructure and its existing exchange.
