It's a bit random, but, 3-5 traders. I think 5 is the hard limit, and 3 is the minimum.

I've never seen more than 5 with vanilla generation; Not even on a 16k map.

Nitrogen generation can end up with more than 5 because it has a setting specifically to change trader count; And some mods alter the amount of traders that can appear on the map.

You haven't been looking hard enough.
Vanilla can and will spawn more then 5 traders on biggest map.

This is not a mod thing.

I'm using the vanilla game and right now I have seven traders on my Skywalker map using random generation. There should be two in the woodland/snowy area border to the north, two in the desert areas to the south west, one in a wasteland area further south west next to a city, one in the wooded area to the center east south of a football field, and one in the burnout zone in the south east next to a town down the hill from it.

It's less about 'looking hard enough' and more about 'prefabs.txt explicitly lists all traders and I've yet to have more than 5 in any map; Even on 16k'. Maybe that's just my horrific luck or something; But it is my objective experience with vanilla generation.

I get loads of traders when playing something like Ravenhearst, or Darkness falls; Or when using Nitrogen- But not more than 5 with vanilla in my memory of A17 and A18 so far.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not stating you're wrong- Just that my experience has been thus and so.

On a random map generated in A18.3, using in-game generator, I found 8 traders and hadn't finished exploring. Seed is "Sparta".

A little spoiler - northeast corner is best corner. 4 traders in very close proximity, with a 5th just a little further away.

I do seem to recall reading a post a good while back that the max limit of traders on a RMG map was 10, though I could be mistaken.

Wanna hear something redundant about the random generation? Some times it will generate traders only a few miles away from each other. It's kinda silly really, but they have different inventories so I guess that's something. Like I have one trader that's literally down the road from the other.

It's probably just be your luck... or lack thereof Shurenai. The seed I'm playing right now has eight traders on it. The seed I was playing before this one had an amazing 10 on it. These are on unmodded default map size games.

Er... I KNOW of 12 in Pregen 3. I think there's one more, but not actually found it. The random seed I'm on right now has 9 that I've discovered. Sorta awesome.
