Trading

Traders naturally spawn at random locations on the surface of survival worlds and can be found in trader's carts which are made out of wooden planks, logs, and often decorated with a variety of other decorative blocks that are only common on these carts. Traders deal in a variety of different goods which can be bought and sold using the game currency: rusty gears.

Types of Traders

Interacting with Traders

When you find a trader, you may enter his cart or stand at the gate. When you are in range of the trader, click on the trader with an empty hand. (If you are holding a weapon, you may hit the trader and he will attack you in response.) A trading window will appear that includes the items the trader is buying or selling. If you wish to buy items, select the item(s) from the selling side of the GUI and it will appear in the "trade" slots. If you wish to sell items, move the desired items from your inventory and place these into the slots. When you complete the transaction, rusty gear currency will be automatically added or removed from your inventory.
