Playing USA with 1.01f, according to the message log, tradeposts now deliver their products, from time to time, to the District of Columbia.

However, I don't ever seem to see additional products on the F4 screen.

Are these goods being automatically sold?

What is WAD for these tradepost products? :confused:

It seems to me that the quantities are very small.
I noticed with France that after about 2 turns of getting 2 Tropical Fruits each turn, 1 did appear in my ledger (I wasn't importing or using any before) So I think each Trading Post is sending a fraction.
Would be curious what the exact formula is.

Yes, trading posts should give access to 1 colonial resource of the region they are built in :cool:

So trading posts don't actually sending any resources to country pool? Only give access to built resource buildings?

I think they do go to the resource pool, but you need a merchant fleet in the trading zone, otherwise the resources are lost. At least, that's how it seems to work in my Prussia game.

Oh thanks, I forgot about trading zone access :)
