How To Trade With My Own Region

[Steele]

I set up the Pack Station, with a Mule and all. Selected the region I own, and decided what to trade. But, nothing happens. So I'm confused as to how I can trade with my own settlements.

do you have enough resources for?
they trade at a fixed rate
if one regoin dont have enough they dont start
do you have enough storage space for?
oh and you have a pack station at both regions

That´s not necessary. You only need the pack station in one region, a mule helps to carry more goods per walk. But all other points, yes. You only trade per change trading. One good for another good in relation to their coin value.

What I'm saying is if I have 50 Meat, and want to send it to my newest village.... I should be able to. But they just sit there and never move.

To trade goods between your regions (no option to do it in the same region) your newest need also goods to change it for the meat. There is no way to make a gift.

Well then they need to fix that. In what World is a Lord not able to save a starving populous? Ridiculous mechanic and highly unrealistic.

no you must make an exchange of goods as in reality in the Middle Ages we exchanged resources it is not trade attributable by the baron or the king

Don't be daft if a Lord heard about a starvation that might take place they acted immediately as it was a total embarrassment if they let it happen, and the King would promptly remove them for embarrassing him as well. They didn't just sit on their hands. This was even true of plague events. They went to great lengths to try to help the sick, as to not be embarrassed as a "Feeble" or "Worthless" ruler.

In my side its bugged, they come with the ressource A but they wont take B in exchange; so i need to build a station on each region.
Its a free exchange in my game, dunno yours

You can use the Trading post with "allow foreign trade" uncheked, you can manage how many of it you want but it's not realy fast and every region pay for it...
The stations are good but you can't manage how many you want to keep in your storage or how many you want to import. It ends by flooding my storage on one regions and empty it from the other if the ratio is not 1x. And you have to make so many stations for every ressources you wana trade ...

I spent ages following Pack Mules around until I was satisfied that I knew how the system works. But basically a trade is not initiated until the initiating Pack Station has confirmation that the goods it wants in return are available at the other end.

Logic would suggest that these goods must be reserved in advance otherwise the Pack Mule might go and collect them and find they have been used as it was making the delivery.

Name calling gets you nowhere. Dont call people daft when you yourself has limited knowledge about what a 14th century Lord or Baron would do.
First off, you are playing as a petty lord.
If the lord had surplus, he would sell it for profit or store it in case of draughts next year. Plus he had to pay taxes to the Baron or King. Basically the guy above you.
Peasants would seldom have surplus but those who had, would sell it for profit or trade it for some needed tools etc.
If times where good, the Lord felt it, if times where bad, the villagers felt it.
The Lords wifes sometimes arranged charity events but not in the scale of what you imply. Would be setting up some schooling, setting up some knitting places for upper class women etc.
Freely moving stuff, you dont own to other villages swearing fealty to you was not a common thing back then.
Remember, you dont own the surplus. Often a Lord would have a handfull of larger farm owners, artisans etc that ran the industrial side of farming and production and the lord would have peasants working his fields for a small amount of the yield as payment and the possibility to use small parts for own crops.
The Lords main task was to make enough surplus to please his Lord and to protect his possesions by having levy or militia and some retinue and providing knights and soldiers for the King 40 days a year or in war times.
The Barons would build castles, churches etc with any profit they had and bigger retinues to contest other Barons for some land etc. They wouldnt scatter it on peasants.
