Trader always closed?

[BloodyBlades]

Been a week and the trader has been closed the whole time =/

I also have this problem in my navizgane (top left trader). He was open for the first 30~ days but suddenly became locked. Hanging around the gate for five or so seconds results in me being teleported away a few metres. No other trader is affected.

It might not even be a thing but Traitor Joe's compound is about 150 blocks away from my main base and, whilst being attacked by zeds, a few stray bolts have hit his place (bedrock sound is audible). Could this be the reason?

Its a bug. He is still in there butthe open/closed stops working.

Try going into DM set the time to just before it opens and pray sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

How to I do that?

My trader is now also closed all the time. I tunneled to a somewhat nearby house and I rebuilt it. I think this may be why. Just trying to verify that if that may be the problem. Would be bad since I have not found another trader on my generated map and have traveled far and wide. lol

anyone know how to fix this in single player SP game? I dont want to have to start over.

a dev response here would be charming, if they are reading

Pretty sure this happens when you set the length of day to 18 hours. We fixed it by changing the length of day back to 16 hours and he re-opened at sunrise.

Have the same problem with traders, but started and playing with 16 hours...so this is not the reason...

It usually is because you built to close to the trader. They have a certain range that if you build in it, they will bug out and disappear. It happened to me before as well, and it's been documented by other people. Don't build anywhere near a trader.

sorry, but again this is not the problem. the traders who are closed or better say used to teleport me away when iam too close, are far away from my base. The nearest trader ist the only one who is available....

Just jump the fence. If you get the right spot you can bounce off the wall and over it. I think there is an electrical box that you boost off of.

Reason aside. Changing the time from 18 to 16 fixed the trader for us. Try changing your time to 18 then exit the game. Reload. Change to 16. See if that resets your trader like it did ours.
