Nuka Caps are the mod's bottle-cap currency. They're meant for player shops and server trade, which makes them a ready-made economy for multiplayer worlds.
Setting Up Your Shop
1. Stockpile caps. You'll need a supply of Nuka Caps for making change and buying from other players. Check your recipe viewer to see how caps are obtained in your setup.
2. Choose a location. A trading post works best near spawn, a main road or a busy rail line.
3. Theme the build. The mod is built around retro wasteland style. Borrowing ideas from a Red Rocket Station's exterior or vintage interior makes your post fit the setting.
4. Display your goods. Use vanilla chests, barrels, signs and item frames to show what you sell and the price in caps.
What to Sell
Your best trade goods are things your Create factory makes that other players don't want to automate themselves:
- Nuka-Cola and Quantum Cola from your mixing and spouting lines
- Sugar Bombs cereal as a snack item
- Browning Sauce for players who cook
- Spare pre-war loot from structure barrels
Keeping the Economy Fair
- Agree on rough cap prices with other shop owners so trading stays predictable.
- Price items you can automate lower than rare structure loot, since you can always make more.
- Keep your caps in a locked or protected area if your server has claim tools.
