Does the whole trading outpost thing work yet?

[phrozz]

Last I played the trading building was not working

It still does not work. Customers show up and just stand in front of the shop counter, but never buy anything.

Heh you're doing better than me. In my outpost they don't even enter the building I have the counters set up in. All that food, alcohol, medicine and bolts for nothing.

I should of said it doesn't work reliably for most, as I did have it working a few updates back.
They only bought small medical kits and cheap food items and would not buy alcohol or trade goods.

by my understanding no NPC ever has enough money to buy anything but the cheapest stuff, foodcubes are too much as a single item for them to afford, maybe even bread is too xD raw meat, single bolts etc can be sold.

Yes, as I recall all sells where under 200 cats.

replace hash w/ grog and you're spot on. hash is too much a pain to get favorable profit margins. even when you get up to UC desert territory, they only sell for around 1k a unit. which is just 2 units of grog, and you can sell that anywhere to anyone

EDIT - this coming from someone who has a large hash farm. i have around 10 large hemp farms and can produce 150 units of hash roughly every 15 minutes real time. the only plus side is that it feeds into the other side of the cash coin being weapon smithing, and the need for fabric. otherwise i would recommend against hemp farms all together and in turn hash
