Maybe those people are only really needing the A2 and A3 goods, but wish to help people who are using A1 goods. Every time I go to the trader, I look for goods being asked for by people whose trades are for less than 3300 and have a hat.

@Glandeh said in an earlier post there is a way to only use Earth, Wind, and Fire hubs. Here is the details from my FS's discord page. (And you don't need to sing.)
You make medals and babies in the hubs and use them in the gate to make badges which are needed to complete techs. While there are 5 possible 'trials' available in the gate, they all make a badge.
If you only do the Fire Tornado Trial, you only need the Earth, Wind and Fire hubs. That trial requires equal numbers of Conductor, Camper, and Pilot medals. Each of these three hubs can make two of the medals.
To make the badges also requires a complementary elemental baby. Each hub can make its own type elemental baby.
The three medals only require elemental babies from those three hubs.
Hub | Medal | Elemantal |
---|
Earth | Conductors | Wind |
Earth | Campers | Fire |
Wind | Pilots | Fire |
Wind | Conductors | Earth |
Fire | Pilots | Wind |
Fire | Campers | Earth |
Making 4 of each of the 3 type hubs is a good idea. That lets you make 2 of each medal type in the hubs which will keep the number of medals balanced without having to think about it. It will overproduce medals, but 2h time instants take care of that.

Considerations for the story quest line:
There is a quest for having 12 hubs.
The only need for the water hub is quests 27 and 50. 27 requires you to build one. After that quest is done, teleport it and bring it back for quest 50 which requires you to make 100 water babies and 400 medals using water babies. Making the 100 water babies are enough for 400 medals. This quest will take maybe 2 days, but you can still be making the other medals at the same time, and you will be able to use some of those medals to make a different type of badge using excess medals from the other hubs.

I made medals during the day and babies at night. It seemed to keep the balance between them close.
