As has been planned, in the next released update new, unique commodities are being added to REPLACE some of the regular commodities that are currently used to build and supply bases. The most important change is that Basic Alloy will be replaced by Reinforced Alloy in base construction and maintenance. Reinforced alloy will be available in each House at several locations, all at the same price. All of these new POB commodities are priced the same wherever they are sold, so they are not tradeable between regular bases. Prices and sale locations are similar to current POB supply commodities (except Reinforced Alloy which will be cheaper everywhere it is sold). The purpose of this change is to provide independent control over POB supply balancing, rather than have it controlled by the balance of the trade economy. This way, POB supplies can be balanced without any impact on the trade economy, and vice versa.
For a complete list of the changes, explore the link below. Select "Commodities", then choose the POB commodity that you want information about. You will find the price, description, and complete list of where it is sold. For now, the old supply commodities are shown, with their replacements in parentheses, like this:
Basic Alloy (Reinforced Alloy)
At some point I will change the commodity names to drop the old names and use only the new ones. The recipes in the link have not been changed to reflect the new commodity names yet, but I will change those at some point.
