How does the trading machine work?
A skill check disguised as a gamble. The pay-out curve is documented; the risk is not.
Quick answer
You click Roll and then click Stop, and the closer to zero you stop the counter, the better the return. A community reference published 25 August 2026 gives the concrete case: stopping at 0.001 pays 9.99 times, which it describes as getting 99% of your money back.
Steps
- Find the Trading station, which the same reference's author says arrives during Phase 3 as part of progression.
- Click Roll to start the counter.
- Click Stop as close to zero as you can manage.
- Read the multiplier, not the raw number: 0.001 is documented as paying 9.99x.
Requirements / limits
- The mechanic and the 0.001 / 9.99x figure come from one community reference. No developer source documents the machine.
- The same author frames 9.99x as returning 99% of the money put in, which means the machine is not a straightforward profit engine at that point on the curve.
- The Trading tool is listed as single-level, so there is no upgrade documented that changes the odds.
Common mistakes
- Treating a high multiplier as profit without accounting for what the roll cost.
- Confusing the trading machine with gambling crates. Crates return items by type; the trading machine returns money by timing.
Still unverified
