Lo-Fi Games

I'm guessing Chris forgot to give the Free Traders the new armor from the update a few versions ago and since the latest one deleted most of the old ones the Free Traders are now mostly naked.

Not that it stopped them from beating down an Imperial Lords patrol. Still the strongest warriors in the desert (Besides myself)

Have you imported your squad into a game, so that your game would be repopulated? For radical changes like the armor patch, it's necessary in order to seed the changes into your game world. It may say that import squad with buildings is buggy, but it is really typically just an issue with the navmesh that can be solved with ctrl shift F11 if any of your buildings in your outpost are affected.

This is a new game I started in 0.47. I noticed after the armor update that the free traders were still using the old armor, I just assumed Chris hadn't gotten around to giving them the new armor or something.

I encountered this in my pre-import game. After import all was well. Perhaps, like me, you simply forgot. There have been a couple of ninja updates on this .47 cycle as well.

As an aside, I'd suggest hanging around your old version game for just a while if you like collecting unusual things though, some stuff (unusual armors) goes away with the update that will transfer if it exists for you now. One way you could test is: if you haven't imported, Nodachi blueprints may not be for sale in Catan. Also the weapon vendor next to the pub farthest from the gate has been moved to a tower IIRC. This was true for me.

As far as I can tell I am in the latest version 0.47.0 and it still happens, not that It really matters to me that much. I mean what do I care if some random outpost in the middle of the desert has naked guards?

Just to be clear though I'm talking about the faction "Free Traders" not the "Traders Guild".

Confirmed at outpost north of Clownsteady. Old squad, in freshly imported game. (new squad could not survive the trip) ;(

No shirts on these fellows, old pants... and just you try and take them... should'a brought more guys...

Reading is fundamental, apologies Shidan. I'm sure Chris appreciates the report, in spite of the forum idiot (myself).

Perhaps they're just expressing their freedom? I mean they *are* Free Traders.
