At first, it was actually another problem I was experiencing.

The merchants that come to my base isn't able to buy the stuff that I offer. They stop some small distance from my base and starts running back and forth.

After finding no answer to the problem I decided to make a wall and a gate around my base. Hoping the merchants might funnel inside via the gate, but that didn't work either.

Then I remenbered that by reloading the game, it would usually fix movement problems with NPC's. But after the reload I can no longer interact with my gate and it is closed.

EDIT:
The problem with the door seems to have fixed itself now.

But problem with the merchants remain

After a second reload, which fixed the gate problem, resulted in the merchants wandering off. If the bug persists when another group appears, I'll upload a save file.

I'm having the same problem with my self-made town. Merchants don't seem to want to stop by at all. I often see groups of them migrating right in front of my base, but they're always heading to some other town. I also had one group that got stuck running in circles in the same spot for a while till I reloaded.

0.40/ 0.40.1
Ive noticed this very odd behaviours of a handful of cravans.

- some seem to be stuck in some rural rock (models jitter, no movement)
- some have been running back and forth between two points next to my settlement. (not aligning to the traders speed - the whole group contantly run back and forth maybe 400m)

I get the same thing. They've not purchased anything from me, and both my town, and my door are set to public. Is that wrong?

I have the same problem, the mercents run from one side of my base to the other side, on occasion one of there mercenary go into my store, walks up the counter then walks away, without buying anything.
