About the Trading Post

I hadn't played for a while, and I'm starting a game... this game is still as good

There are no more merchants passing through, but a trading post to build, then, if I understood correctly, store what you are ready to trade.
But I have a problem: in the trading post everything is at zero. However, for example, not having yet built the workshop that makes the candles, I have a lot of grease in stock.
Is it normal that everything is at zero in the Trading Post?

REEDIT: is it normal that in the Trading Post we don't see how much we have, to be able to set the quantity we decide to sell?

At the trading post you set the item numbers for what you would like to store there and then a worker will transport them there and then now and then a merchant will arrive to trade those goods with.

I got a trading post, with a worker, and stuff in the trading post, but I have never seen any "merchant" so far, for more than a year now. How long do I have to wait to get a merchant ? what can I do to get one ?

Now this worker is just stuck doing nothing for no reason, as he transported the surplus already. Do I have to keep this worker on the trading post doing nothing to hope for a merchant ? Or can I reclaim this worker for other tasks but even without worker a merchant may come, or a worker is mandatory for a merchant to come ?

Now the situation is I have no clue about how merchants work, I have never seen any, I got a building and a worker doing nothing, so building this trade post and using this worker for nothing is a total loss.

Thanks

I'm sorry I believe there is an issue with the trading post. The merchant does not spawn or instantly disappears. I will try to have this fixed for the next update.
