Editing Import Focus (section)

== Strategy ==
Import Focus is ideal for settlements that depend on purchasing resources they cannot produce efficiently. This is particularly valuable for [[Arctic Biome|Arctic]] settlements, which lack raw material production and must import most resources. The 15% reduction in import costs effectively stretches the settlement's {{Icon|Coin}} budget further on every purchase.

The 20% export cost increase means that selling goods generates less revenue. Settlements using Import Focus should rely on other sources of {{Icon|Coin}} income, such as [[Taxation]], the [[Tavern]], or [[Market Stall]]s, rather than trade profits.

The 14-day lock period makes this a significant commitment. Players should be confident in their import-dependent strategy before switching from [[Neutral Focus]]. Settlements in a [[Trade Alliance]] can stack the alliance's 10% trade cost reduction with Import Focus for even greater import savings.
