Honestly, if I saw 100 million aluminum for $1, I wouldn't think twice about buying it, and neither would 99% of the other players. I would do it just to get a kick out of the thought that somebody somewhere is banging their head against a wall.
obviously, the solution for that is the receiving colony creating a request for the recource, then the sending colony can give the recource. Again, the trouble with this is the civics.
Main colony:
human - Eldia: 0tThkRFL
human - Gondwana: MQGtwWQR
insectoids - Deinonychus: fQ3oqKnA
