How do Trade Goods work?

(o_o)

If you trade goods away, do you still get to use them yourself?

How long does the trade last? (I'm assuming more then one turn, and less than the rest of the game)

Also, something happened in one of my games. I captured the Drengin homeworld, which had the Hull Plating goods. They became available for me to trade. Later, I disbanded the colony to prevent the Drengin from capturing it back, and I was still able to trade the hull plating.

Yes, you still get to use them yourself.

You're wrong; they last the rest of the game.

I think you found a bug with disbanding the colony and keeping the trade good. I'm not sure how that should work.

When you conquered the world where the Trade good was created you owned it, but if you disband the planet it should have reappeared in your construction queue again, but if it didn't then is a bug.

Related to Trade goods, is there a window where you can see the Trade goods you own and the ones you have traded?

In my last game I took over a world that had trade goods on it, but i didn't get them and the original race that built them still has them- is this a bug and how do I get them to my civ?

This was fixed in patch 1.0x. If you have that patch, send your game in to bug reports.
