Auto Trade

Auto Trade — Automated Resource Trading System

Tired of manually managing trade routes every time your resources run low? Auto Trade automatically detects resource deficits and negotiates trade deals on your behalf — every single week.

Automated Resource Trading
Automatically imports Steel, Rubber, Oil, Aluminium, Tungsten and Chromium whenever a deficit is detected. Trade deals are negotiated weekly using real create_import routes — visible in your trade screen, not just invisible number boosts.

Smart Partner Selection
The mod uses a weighted scoring system to always pick the best available trade partner:

• 🥇 Manually designated preferred partners (always first)
• 🥈 Puppets & Dominions
• 🥉 Faction Allies
• Nations of the same ideology
• Neighbouring countries
• Diplomatic opinion (the friendlier, the higher the score)
• Any non-hostile nation as last resort

Fuel Emergency Trading
A separate system monitors your fuel supply. When fuel drops below 25% capacity, oil imports begin automatically. The import intensity increases by one civilian factory each week until fuel recovers above 50% — then it resets cleanly.

Preferred Trade Partners
Click any nation in the decisions screen to designate them as a preferred trade partner. They will always be sourced first, regardless of alliance or ideology. Remove them just as easily.
