I think GGS is aware of "trading features" in their games - as they have it in Empire. You can send a help-cart for small fee to anybody from your co-op.

Maybe we should propose two features - you can send a cart full of produce to farmers in your co-op & it would be cool, if we also have a Co-op Market !! We could trade with other co-op members our surplus items.
I for example have large quantities of milk and apples - always, use them to fill Organic market orders, however I would not mind sharing it with my co-op peeps whn they need it
The co-op market would be a super nice feature for us all !!

Yes, it's true that Empire allows trade between player, and yes, it's true that the feature is really helpful. But here's the problem: In empire, this lead to a ton of multi's and farms being used to "mass transit" the goods to other locations and/or loot the stuff in large quantities. While you can't loot in this game, you could easily make farm accounts to use as dummy stockpiling accounts and just ship free and ill gotten goods to the rest of the group. The CC would be a main supply line for things like deco's, collectibles, and farm dollars and gold, as well as farm products and things like fertilizer and humus. That leads to a witch hunt for multis, until families can't play on the same PC anymore, and then bots could be used to automate the farming of the fake accounts until you have a bot issue on top of that (anyone remember the nasty money glitch and the response that got?) and you could get a spawn of issues on top of that. So yeah, while it's helpful, just remember that Empire has no PvP because of multi's. Big farm might lose the relaxed farming if you get the same problem here

I am wondering, why can't you give other people items, like gold/dollars/resources?

@NOOBxD (NL1)  The reason for not being able to give other players Gold or other things is that it would cause a lot of problems.    For example, what if you gave someone in your coop a lot of gold to help them, then they left your coop? Or someone with more than one account could transfer stuff back and forth between their different farms, giving them an unfair advantage over other players with one account. Well you get the idea, it's not likely to ever happen because there's always someone who will think up a way to abuse it.

So when you accidentally donate your coop all your dollars, can't you get it back?

@NOOBxD (NL1)   Whether by accident or intentionally, once you donate to your cooperative account, it's there until it's spent. You can't get it back, sorry.
