So I created a game on a moon world under some random guy as an Independent state.

I am up to the point where I got microchips and now I need aluminium to make megabots and all that stuff.

However...
There is no aluminium on the map...
Am I missing something here? I cant find any way to get aluminium other than to black market it for 8mill/250Al

Also I don't want to have to get around it until I advance to the aluminium generator as that is way to far down the tech tree.

Is there an easier way to get aluminum or something like that, this seems a little ridiculous that I'm bottle necked by aluminium this early on in the game.

Thanks all

You can get it through the Galactic Board of Trade or League Trade authority. It's still somewhat expensive but better than what the black market gives you. You can sell some of your excess resources to get enough money to buy aluminum.

I normally undercut most of my competitors and sell it for 2,000,000 per 100. That is pretty darn pricey I know but that's why I sell it! If you're really stuck for cash send me a message. My charter code is 1Rk6PkzW

If you're on a LIS map you don't have the gbt. You have the black market and league trade authority. It's the same as the gbt, but so we don't confuse ppl it's better to use the proper names.

And the purpose of your actions?

If you started on a asteroid world, you're correct there is no aluminum.

You could buy it as said by others here, or start a second map that has aluminium and gift it to yourself. The abandoned world map has a lot of aluminum.

But you can also invest in diamond mining, build the giftshop and use that to buy aluminum or sell the diamonds and then buy the aluminum. With the league trade authority.

I would recommend starting a second map, it's not the fastest way in the short term but it pays off in the long run.

Undercut competition etc

Oh! The biggest reason is because I think they are posting it for far too much. My listings sell pretty quickly so I'm pretty sure it's at a price where people are happy to buy it.

The other reason for undercutting is because I'd like mine to sell before someone else's.

Be aware the other listings are typically in the 15 million per 100 plus range, which is espexually ridiculous because at that rate it's cheaper to import it.

The reason I posted my charter code was so that if OP was still having issues I could just send them 100k or something like that, should be plenty to get them going.

Right.
