The broker is used in conjunction with trade links (i.e. wharf or airport terminal) to facilitate trade between cities. The amount of goods imported is determined by how many floors of broker are in a given city. The broker will also allow you to buy any goods from your city inventory. A broker does not export goods, but it will import everything that is produced in the system, regardless of the city's actual production needs. This can be useful in the later stages of building a new city, but in the later stages this can become a liability, as product that is needed in one city may in fact be in an another. Due to the increase in import amount per broker level, placing more broker levels at a city makes that city have a higher priority for imported goods than other connected cities.
Trade
A broker will buy and sell commodities from its inventory and connected building's inventories to spacecraft. A spacecraft may trade cargo with any broker if the ship is physically present on a connected building's site. When connected to an airport terminal, spacecraft may trade cargo with the broker if they are near a friendly space station in the solar system. A space station acts as a trade hub for all friendly brokers connected to an airport terminal in the solar system.
See the Trade page for more information.
Shipments
A broker is able to send shipments to cities in other solar systems. Each level of broker allows for one shipment to be made.
When at a broker, it is possible to setup and manage shipments using the City (F10) window's Broker tab.
