Trader mission distances Tier 1 = 1km+

[Don't kill me]

Sorry in advance if this has already been asked.

I have been quite unlucky with the past few maps I have generated. Once I complete the tutorial-quest-thing at the beginning of the game and head to the trader, each of his/her missions seems to be 1km+ away.

I'm aware that it is related to being able to locate tier 1 POIs and that there are none nearby. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I just being unlucky?

Unlucky.

If you are using the Navezgane map, it is just bad luck. Wait a day and check again.
If you are using randomly generated maps, then it may be bad luck with the generation.
If by chance, you are using mods that affect map or quest generation, you may want to create a new map without them.

It could be due to the POIs, Or just the ones the RNG generates. Sometimes you get some 50 meters away. Sometimes its 2km away. Though I am surprised that there isn't a Poopy Pants Daycare, Small Barn, or Survivor site somewhere nearby.

Sometimes you may need to stick with the buried-supplies quests as they are normally <1km. Kind of a slog doing 10 with a stone shovel but then you'll open up Tier 2 quests.

If you want to kind-of cheat; you can accept a quest and cancel it, do it for some or all 5 options, wait until the next day and see what the RNG does with the new quest list.

If you really wanna cheat: devmode and reset the trader.

One thing that can be nice is when there's an 'overlap'. One quest ends up being pretty close to another trader, and you can get a quest from them to an objective somewhat on the way back to the first trader.

I do this a lot. Once i open that second trader I try to take quests that are near the other trader so I have stuff to do at both areas.

Just bad luck. Usually there will be at least one buried food stash within 400m even if the others are 1km plus, but some days it just be like that where the trader wants you to get the steps in. Spend the day cutting wood imo.

i have had the same issues, im not running 1.4k on day 1 for a mission, ill wait until the next day and if they are still far away ill move towns and find another trader.

I do a lot of buried supplies quests, since they’re not bound by where the POIs happen to be.

Thanks everyone. I created a new game and stuck to it.
Only 1 mission was within 400km, which was a buried supplies quest. The other 4 were over 1km again.
The next day, all the missions had refreshed and 2-3 of them were withing 800km. So, as the majority of people mentioned, it definitely is a bit of luck

For my own sanity 100%

The worst part is im literally Day 3 ingame, have a pretty good underground base, and im building my first vehicle, the bicycle, is about 80% done.

And the only thing i get are 2.0km missions, for ♥♥♥♥ sake.
