No opening trade routes quests
While playing A20 experimental I encountered an issue where my starting trader only gave me one "opening trade routes quest" and none after that. I could still progress through the quest tiers (up to tier IV so far) and get rewards for completing each tier.

I loaded the same map ( that was randomly generated with the A20's new map generator) to make sure there are more than 2 traders available. I could find all 5 of them in different parts of the map, with the first 2 I encountered being whithin 1.5 km of each other.

Maybe the starting trader didn't give me "opening trade routes" quest due to the last 3 traders being too far away? Has anyone else encountered such issue before?

how far away were the other traders? i have had restore power missions as far as 6.6km away. maybe try doing missions from the second trader and see if that'll give you opening trade routes missions?

I just checked and the traders were 1.5 (the one I got an opening routes quest for), 2.5, 3.4 and 4.0 km away from the starting trader.

I think I remember having to travel around 3.5 km as part of the opening routes quest in A19, so this seems like a bug so far.

Isn`t the first open routes from the first trader only? Then the second open routes, from the second and so on? Could be mistaken, I start a lot of new games.

First trader sent me 4 km away to snow biome , then he sent me 1.2 to another trader in snow Biome also .
Have done 4 traders so far , all had open trades after awhile.
Infact they sent me back to same traders for opening rout..

Seems odd, you should be able to get the trade routes from the same one up through t5.
I know thats how it works for my brother and I, we use the first trader until we get sent to the wastelands then move there and finish.
