Well, I'm not sure about that. I mean, the point of Survival 303 is that you're stranded on an island, and need to survive by gathering and building stuff. making the player start with coins, and adding an NPC shop would just totally kill the Survival climate. I think that the way trade works now is good, because it has the 'wild' feel, like steel for pies, or a hut for a bugshark.
