Can anyone kindly explain on-foot mats trading?

I'm not in front of a bartender, but can get you close.

Each mat type has a value. That "value" is the value you get in trade for the mat.

Mat A = 4
Mat B = 11

If I want one mat B, I will have to trade 3 Mat As for it (3 * 4 = 12).

I want microelectrodes. I have 55 (right-hand number). I can trade any other circuits to get more. So I click on it.

On the left, I can see how much value each of these circuits gets me if I choose to trade them. Circuit board will get me +5 for every unit I trade in. I have 31 in my inventory.

On the right, you can see Microelectrodes cost 16 units to get just one (green text)

I use the arrow to "add" 1 circuit board into the proposed trade (or the trading pool as it is called on the right). With each being +5, that gives me a total value of 5. Not enough, because I need 16 to get just one microelectrode.

So I add another 2 circuit boards, equalling 3x5 = 15 total barter value (seen in green to the right of the circuit boards).

I still need +1 to match the 16 for one microelectrode. So I add a circuit switch, giving me +2.

My total barter value is now 17, so I can get +1 microelectrode, at a cost of 3x circuit boards and 1x switch.

On the bottom right, the blue value shows me how many microelectrodes I will have after the trade. I had 55, I will now have 56.

You can keep adding more to the trade to increase the barter value and gain more microelectrodes.

The trade above does mean I'll lose a single barter point from the circuit switch. Sometimes it pays to "even the barter value" using some basic maths.

That's about it.

Thanks for that! I've been on the lookout for simple/clear guides like this into the basics of Odyssey for inclusion in my Best of Forum thread.
