Crating is one of the primary ways to earn money on Horizon's End. This page provides a brief, condensed, overview of the system.

The current maximum number of crates that can be delivered to a Trade City at one time is 1,252 crates. This capacity can be achieved using a Jump Freighter.

Further details, such as specific mechanics and variations, are not covered in this page. These may differ depending on the type of transport used and should be documented separately.

How Crating Works

  • Crates are purchased from a Crate Exporter
  • These crates must then be delivered to a Crate Importer to be sold
  • Only crates bought from an exporter can be sold to an importer

Some crates are more valuable than others, but higher-value crates may expire after a certain amount of time, requiring faster delivery.
