Agree the offer. Lock it in. Trade together.

A placeable terminal for item-for-item multiplayer trades between two survivors at separate terminals. Currently in final testing.

The idea

Agree the offer. Lock it in. Trade together.

Connect with a four-digit trade code, review both offers and lock the items before confirming. The exchange is designed to complete only after both players confirm. Received items go to a Trade Inbox that can be accessed from an available terminal. Multiplayer testing is checking cancellations, reservations, repeat trades and item handling before release.

Designed for online PvP and PvE. Multiplayer test stage; no public download is available here yet.

What it brings to your game

  • Two survivors trade from separate terminals using a four-digit code
  • Review offers, lock items, then both confirm the exchange
  • Trade Inbox accessible from an available terminal
  • Unlock at level 49; craft in the Fabricator
  • Crafting recipe: 20 Metal Ingots, 20 Crystal, 15 Cementing Paste and 5 Oil
  • Paintable with standard dyes

Getting started

  1. Public installation instructions will be added at release. The following describes the current test workflow.
  2. Player A adds an offer to their terminal and selects Start Trade.
  3. Player B adds an offer at a separate terminal and joins using the four-digit code.
  4. Both players review the offers and select Lock Items. Changing a locked offer requires cancellation.
  5. Both players select Confirm, then collect received items from the Trade Inbox when unlocked.

See the official project page for current files and any additional installation notes.

The plan · Subject to change

What’s on the drawing board

  • Complete two-player and third-player interference checks
  • Verify cancellation, death, terminal destruction and reservation cleanup
  • Check repeat trades and cross-terminal inbox collection
  • Verify paint persistence after a restart

Compatibility

Designed for ARK: Survival Ascended online multiplayer. Single-player has limited practical use. Release platform support will be confirmed with the official listing.

Free and paid features

Both tiers use the same trading features. Premium players can collect received items immediately. Free players wait 15 minutes for the Trade Inbox to unlock. Completing another trade resets that inbox timer to 15 minutes.
