TRADING POST NOT TRADING! What do I do?

[ⒺⒹⒾⓃ]

I dont understand why it will not trade...I made sure it is connected to kings road, I have people working in it...I set planks to export, I have lots of it and I tried setting to even sell ALL of it...The trader comes and then leaves without buying anything...It is making my gameplay a LOT harder...I can not get any money! How do i fix this bug?

Villagers stock everything and i can see it inside trading post, lets say i can see 60 pcs, then it starts going up and down without selling anything and it looks like my villager takes 40 or 50 pcs brings it to outside of a map and then returns it to storage and again repeats same thing without sellin anything.

I tried rebuilding post, changing completely to different location with different trading post but nothing is working.

Tldr: Horses are bugged! Don't use them, except maybe if you want to import something.

I noticed that traders on horses are bugged and don't sell anything at all. The moment they are on foot, they are working fine for me. I've already wrote a bug report about this. Hope the dev is aware of this and will fix it soon.
The downside to this is, that traders on foot only take a single item, instead a bunch of them, which is why its a good idea to place the trading post at the edge of the map, directly next to the trading point outside the map.

how can you prevent someone from opening a stall been having this issue as well

Thats easy. Check how many storehouse and granary workers you have and then build markets that only have the max amount of stalls equal to your storage+granary workers.

Put everyone out of job for a while, so your logistics guys pick up the stalls. Since you have no free market space left no one else now can open up stalls, and the logistic workers can easily move around big amounts of food, firewood and clothes due to handcarts.

With that you can easily get 100% coverage from a single market with an entire town.

Horse & trading post glitched

Assigned horse #1 to TP, seemed to be doing ok. Ordered horse #2, never arrived. Shows in livestock tab as "following" (6 months now) but cannot go-to horse, just following. Built another hitching post, ordered horse #3, now all export trading seems to have stopped. No product is moving out, at all, even with trade routes purchased.

Pretty sucky. Esp since I need cash to go to burgage L3.

Question... Are you expecting trade post to increase your personal treasury? cuz it does not, it only increases regional wealth, and looks like you have a fair bit of that

Greetings,

The images show the trading post in the woods with a road you created as access.

- The post should be directly on the Kings road, or some traders will not go to the post.

As you can see i have fully stacked trading post. Rooftiles are in the storage of trading post.
But noone is buying. Theres this trader "Jacob" who takes 40 pcs of rooftiles goes otside of the map to trading spot and comes back, dumps everything back to storage waits 5 seconds and repeats again....

These screenshots seem to be of a "general" tab. Can you post one with the "trade" tab?

Well, here it is kind sir.

I had traders coming and going like every 5 seconds. But it doesn’t look like they actually took anything out. Every now and again it will show I got like 3 silver. But they are streaming in one cart after another but the only money that changes hands is for imports

Also don't forget to click the little horse with cart next to what you're trying to trade, this establishes a trading route. Then set the item to import or export.

Thanks I had forgotten myself this time to click the no trade next to the item to export.
Am betting the OP did as well

Missed that in the Help Section... Thank you!

Unfortunately, the Trading System is still unreliable and fickle in the EA version. Sometimes nothing sells for months and then everything seems to sell at once. But generally exports never keep paces with production so you will gradually amass an awful lot of unsold goods.
