Questions on Opening a Shop

[PrinceCold]

So how does this opening a store and selling your good works?

I know that you can either
a) buy a store in a city and build a shop counter in it then what?
b) build your own counter and shop in your base/outpost and?

But yes, you could either buy a building in town and build a shop counter/Large shop counter & storage containers and then caravan the items you're selling into your store from your manufacturing site, or set up a town yourself and establish a trade hub there...you'd have to set a member of your squad to man your store so they could interact with the trade caravans that came to your city, but once Chris puts in the ability to recruit more than 20 player squads/multiple squads, it'll be alot easier to do. Having that person man the store would decrease from the number of defenders in your town/laborers/researchers/engineers...and with the current limit of 20 men in a single squad, it makes setting up a huge manufacturing town/a bit dicey as far as defending it, especially with walls/defenses currently missing until next patch.

Good info, but how to operate a member of your gang to man the store? I built an outpost ( set to public), I built a saloon ( set on public ), i bult a shop counter large ( full of goods )...but i dont understand how "operate" the shop. Traders are arriving, entering the shop, going to the couter and buy nothing.... thanks

Unable to "operate" any counter to sell goods to NPC caravans until its implemented. Only way to sell goods to NPCs is by going to an NPC town and selling directly to their shops.
