What is Trade?
Free trade is when you send resources to another village without receiving anything in return. With the exception of sending resources to your own villages, you may be limited from doing this for a set period of time after you join a world. If you are currently restricted from using free trade, an error message will be shown when you try, along with the date and time at which you can send resources.
One merchant can transport a maximum of 1000 resources. This could be 1000 of one resource or split up between different resources in any way. For example, one merchant could carry 100 wood, 350 clay, and 550 iron.
When you increase the size of your market you will receive more merchants. This means you will be able to transport more resources at the same time.
When you want to trade resources with someone you don't know you should create an offer on the market instead of using the free trade system. This ensures that both sides of the trade receive exactly what they asked for.
