How many traders can be in a single random gen map?

[ThaTrueBeast]

I have found 3 so far but one is bugged and won't open anymore.

We found 6 (1 was bugged from the beginning), but discovered less than 20% of the map, i assume there might be more.

What do you mean bugged? I've been to them where the door won't open. Just went back the next day and it was fine.

I have scouted quite a bit of the seed I'm on and there are quite a few but the map is not infinite.

I have one that I check on daily that will no longer open that"s been stuck over a week or two now.

Bad luck indeed. I've only had it happen a few times but the next time I went they were fine. I assumed it was a designed game mechanic based on some need for the trader to close shop.

I know it's not because of zombies though since I"ve battled the 7th day horde right out the front door and it still opens.

I've found 27 in one world so far.

I don't know if there is a maximum amount of traders possible, however, I know that trader locations need a particular spot on the terrain to qualify it's existance ... In other words, how the Random Map builds itself determines whether a trader meets the conditions to "plop itself on the map" ... so to speak.

I know this from reading a modders thread as he's developing a better RWG. One player noted that the traders didn't spawn as frequently as before and he replied with a simple change to the RWG mixer code for the trader to spawn.

Remember, the RWG has rules to create the map and if it cannot find a good location for a trader then it will not generate one, whilst other map seeds would.

if course there are. You can identify them on the ingame map. Just scroll to one direction over and over and you will shortly get to a point where the map border moves in a cycle-shape. When you use the ingame-Editor and fully render your seed (setting 5) the complete map will be generated. There you also see the rounded shape of the map. But it is very very large.

Open (daytime) but keeps u teleporting out and away when u try to enter, for weeks realtime and no solution so far.
In our new server we have the same again, this time the trader was working for a week and has the same bug now for unknown reasons.

Im up to 8 so far. I have 4 withing a 1 min minibike ride from my base. If u want to hit all 8 ill be out until 12:00pm playing 90 min days.

Something I've always thought would be nice is to find a quest note like the treasure maps that shows the location of a trader you haven't already found, might be some way to make the starting trader quest trigger again maybe?

No world is infinite.

Yes. You can change the size but it can't be infinite and there's a limit to how big you can make the map.
