Pardus/Commodities

Commodities in Pardus are the mainframe of the economy, they are required to support buildings and are used for many actions such as repairing your ship or building weapons. This is a collective list of all the commodities in Pardus along with assorted information about it. The buy and sell part stands for the following.
 * Buy: how much it costs to buy from a building usually
 * Sell: how much you get for selling it to a building usually

FWE
FWE stands for Food, Water, Energy. It's the basic requirements of almost all buildings in Pardus. This section also includes biowaste as it comes from spacefarms.

Food

 * Buy: 100-200
 * Sell: 80-150
 * Symbol: [[Image:Pardus Food.png]]
 * Produced: Space farms, Recyclotrons, Class M and Class A planets
 * Used: Food for most buildings, starbases, Class R and Class G planets.

Food is a basic FWE commodity. Almost all buildings require it to function as well as starbases and some planets. Class M planets are the main producers of food for planets, as well as providing one part of FWE runs. Space farms and recyclotrons often support planets that don't make food, economies that are far away from food producing planets, and SB economies.

Water

 * Buy: 45-80
 * Sell: 15-40
 * Symbol: [[Image:Pardus Water.png]]
 * Produced: Space farms, Recyclotrons, Class M, Class A, and Class I planets.
 * Used: Water for most buildings, starbases, Class R and Class D planets

Water is another basic FWE commodity. Almost all buildings require it to function as well as starbases and some planets. It is produced from Class M planets, space farms, and recyclotrons. In space farm and recyclotron food productions, the recyclotron makes the majority of the water. As production of water is less then the amount of food from most food sources excluding Class G planets, water is often imported into economies from other sources like Class I planets.

Energy

 * Buy: 70-140
 * Sell: 110-160
 * Symbol: [[Image:Pardus Energy.png]]
 * Produced: Starbases, energy wells, energy fields, nebula plants
 * Used: Energy for most buildings, Class M, Class A, Class I, Class R and Class G planets

Energy unlike the other parts of FWE does not come from planets, but is used by them. It makes the entirety of the second part of a FWE run, delivering energy from the planet. It is as well, used by most buildings. Most of the energy comes from energy fields, starbases, and nebula plants. Unlike the other FWE commodities, this resource can be harvested from energy fields. This can help sustain economies far from energy sources, and in particular drug nooks. Many starbase owners complain that people who stock just take energy from the fields instead of buying from their starbase.

Biowaste

 * Buy: 5-20
 * Sell: 30-50
 * Symbol: [[Image:Pardus Biowaste.png]]
 * Produced: Space farms, leech nurseries
 * Used: Recyclotrons, clod generators

Biowaste, although not part of FWE, is a large part of starbase economies, and to a lesser extent, clod generators. It supplies recyclotrons which help pick up a lot of the slack on water that space farms leave. It's an essential part to any starbase economy.
