Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* DoubleUnlock: The Trading station takes this UpToEleven. To be able to unlock Trading you need to reach least area 53, and when you do, it requires one Portal to build. To get the schematics for the Portal you need to complete all the Archaeology Expeditions on Area 53 which will take ''several'' hours to days. Next you need to gather the required materials (100 circuits, 1000 steel, 500 emeralds) to construct the portal, which will take 6 hours to craft. Then, you can finally build the Trading station itself... which takes another hour to construct. Once that's done, you need to use 50 Polished Emeralds to open the portal and allow trading for 15 minutes. All in all, it becomes a ''sixfold'' unlock.
