What Trading Algorithms does

Modifier lines by where they apply, as the game prints them; then the trait's own effect text.

Species

+25%Trader Workforce

Opposite traits

A species cannot have this trait together with any of these.

Scarcity Subroutines

When modification offers it

species_potential_add and species_possible_add: when genetic or robotic modification shows and allows the trait (the wording is ours).
