Trading with Custom Villagers to Earn Currency

Interacting with Villager Shops

The built-in trading economy relies entirely on custom villager shops scattered throughout your base. To build your empire, you must turn simple gathered materials into valuable treasures.

Approach a custom villager and right-click to open their trading menu. Each merchant offers unique trades, exchanging raw resources—such as dirt and basic items—for currency, specialized supplies, or upgraded equipment. Inspect multiple villagers across your settlement to determine which shops offer the items and funds you need most.

Managing Your Tycoon Profits

Establish a consistent gathering loop to keep your trading profitable:

1. Collect bulk quantities of basic resources from your settlement.

2. Bring the materials to the appropriate custom villager.

3. Complete the trades to convert your supplies into currency.

Resist the urge to spend all your earned currency immediately on basic gear. Your primary objective is funding base expansions, so save a significant portion of your profits to unlock higher civilization tiers.
