How do I use the Terramart Shipments thing?

I get that I can only use it to sell crops and the like, but it won't work at all. There's just a "X-X" at the bottom of it. Suggestions?

 

Did you enclose it? It needs to be able to "see" the sky, as in there can't be any blocks over it.

 

Oh. I thought I could use it from my ship, heh...

 

if we only had proper airlocks. And why does it even be send to space? every damn things seems to teleport around anyways.

 

It also makes it useless if you lpan on growing crops in your ship. Since you have to beam down to a planet to sell the crops anyway, you can beam down directly to the outpost...

 

Yeah I bought it hoping to use it on my ship and was disappointed. Still might set it up as a decoration in the cargo hold I guess.

 

I found out you can get a "colonist" on your ship the same as planets, so now I have a merchant at the ready on my ship at all times to sell.

I find that the colonists really make the Terramart Shipment objects redundant.

 

Almost, but not exactly. Apparently, selling crops and farm products (even things like AA Batteries and static cells) will sell at a 30% rate, instead of a 20% rate at regular merchants.
