Are Traders are Always empty?

[unscodst118]

Seems like 99% of all traders are always empty on anything and everything, and i can't get much outside of a few traders who, if by some miracle, still have food and water, but nothing else. does the trading system rely on us players to restock them, or what?

No, i often see resources at workshops, e.g. North Workshop
And i buy them all usually :) so next player probably sees zero

Here's West Workshop for example

Traders never have ♥♥♥♥, as far as I can see. What's event he point of them?

[Ryuu]

They do
But not always, and only some it seems

West workshop has weapon parts and maybe another one.
The economy is really unbalanced now so i guess the devs didnt want people to simply buy all resources.
I assume the traders are coming in the next patch with events tied to them.
I havent done the math but you need to sell stuff worth about 30.000 corks to finish the quests

Try Ama Diving Partnership, they sell even more rare stuff, for example ammunition fragments

the amount they sell wont make any difference for progress xD
the only difference is how they buy basic resources, the price vary from 1 to 4 for iron/wood/plastic

I don't care about the price as long as they sell something useful :) Running out of corks is virtually impossible if you don't spend them on repairs.
And a little extra resources never hurt.

I make most of my Corks with selling wood for 4 at some Traders, for now that's the only reason for me to visit them from time to time, but all in all they are useless! Maybe not so useless as Workshops, I still don't get why they are there!?

I sell water, food, shark teeth and shark skin to them
