Remember that you can sell fabrics too, I had a certain trader stand by the counter until I added the fabric he seemed to want, once I added it he bought like 6 units of it and left.

I dont know what im doing wrong. I have the large shop counter. I have my outpost on public. I have all kinds of stuff in there. Weapons, bread, fabric, iron and the alcohol. I have traders walk by my own made settelment and not going in my shop at all. And the counter is stuffed with items.

I have also tried to import my crew and buildings several times, dunno what im doing wrong.

For now there is none, may in the future they might place the "inventory organizer", dude who arranges the boxes and makes sure stuff all working prperly, to be able to carry a percentage to the counter.

Didn t have a name for it so i came up with a somewhat random name.
I actually just replied to the forum topic "What do you want next?" and mentioned a Hauler job. Sounds like what you guys are looking for.

Related to this topic, I have never had any traders come shop at my town. I made it a habit to always set my town to public when starting out and the one building I have with a Large Shop Counter is public with 5 units of rum stored within. Will continue to research once I get the chance

Well, I'm also having the problem of no traders coming in and buying. After reading through this thread the only thing I can think of that I haven't done is set the actual building to public. I know how to set the town to public but I can't figure out how to do it for a building. How do I do it?

Thanks

The Reason is because the people "The traders from the city"
Is stupid i tried to start another camp with ALOT of Space between the building and when the traders want to walk to my camp, They get stuck behind a rock and then they turn around :(

Hope this is something that will get fixed :)

In my case I've noted traders will only buy from my counter once per fresh game-load.

A thousand units of backstock... three sales a session...

Yeah, I am still having trouble with this. Seen a few items sold but I have 4 counters full of items and a veritable parade of traders walking by my gate.

If traders don´t go to you, then you go to traders, place a building right in the middle of the way they pass through so they go there for sure :lol: .

if you own buildings in a town to have a shop you might as well manually sell stuff.

If I understand you correctly, then the traders are stuck in front of your gate.

How many shops do you have in your town? If you have more than 1 shop, it sometimes happens, that traders cannot decide, which one to visit. It sometimes helps, if you close one shop completely or, if you want to make sure that they stop being stuck, close all your shops.

All the storages crates or chests, etc. from a store should be linked to the counter in that same store, so no need to fill the counter the merchants would purchase goods directly from the storage crates, chests.
