			* Your previously settled towns will request raw resources that are not normally available in their respective biomes.
			** For example, the Royal Woodlands has resource nodes for {{rl\|Roots}}, {{rl\|Vegetables}}, {{rl\|Plant Fiber}}, {{rl\|Berries}}, {{rl\|Mushrooms}}, {{rl\|Clay}}, {{rl\|Sea Marrow}}, {{rl\|Meat}}, {{rl\|Eggs}}, and {{rl\|Scales}}, so it will not ask for those resources via trade route.
			** Conversely, the Royal Woodlands ''will'' ask for {{rl\|Herbs}}, {{rl\|Insects}}, {{rl\|Reed}}, {{rl\|Stone}}, {{rl\|Coal}}, {{rl\|Copper Ore}}, {{rl\|Leather}}, {{rl\|Algae}}, {{rl\|Fish}}, {{rl\|Salt}}, and {{rl\|Grain}} because that biome is lacking in those resources.
			** If you're unsure what materials to focus on for trading with previous settlements, you can check what they will buy by hovering over their icon in the trade menu.
			** Settling multiple towns in the same biome over and over can slow down your ability to trade since it will be hard for you to produce materials that are most commonly requested via trade route.
			** Every trade partner will ask for at least 3 different types of Pack of Resources, so producing them ensures you will have a supply of materials to sell.
			*{{rl\|Purging Fire}} and {{rl\|Wildfire Essence}} are only requested by the Vanguard of the Stolen Keys, so you cannot sell them via trade route unless you have unlocked that faction and are early enough in the cycle to have them as a trading partner.

			=== Citadel Factions ===

			In addition to trading with your previous settlements and the Smoldering City itself, you can also [[Upgrades#List_of_Upgrades\|unlock]] the ability to trade with up to three Citadel Factions within the Smoldering City: the First Dawn Company, the Brass Order, and the Vanguard of the Stolen Keys. Each unlocked faction has its own set of desired goods that are separate from each other and the Smoldering City. Having all Citadel Factions unlocked is a great boon at the start of each cycle, since the number of trading partners will already be maximized even before you have established a settlement.

	You need {{rl\|Pack of Provisions}} to trade via Trade routes. Trade Routes will refresh with every [[Season]] change.
