Immobile caravan solution?
Hello, recently I sent a caravan to a base so I could complete a quest, but when I accepted the quest, I recieved items that were too heavy so now my caravan is immobile.

Is there some kind of solution to save all my stuff? I tried sending another colonist to the same location to like help him carry all the stuff but I don´t really know how to merge them or whatever.

So if someone knows how to fix this, please help me. :D

If you're sending out a pawn to assist with the heavy lifting, I highly recommend sending any trained pack-animals, as you'd need to have the pawn bringing food so nobody starves and that may weigh them down quite a bit.

You may be better off deciding what's important/urgent, and selling/gifting resources to the faction.

* if the loaded caravan is able to move slowly, check how far each can travel in a certain amount of time. Rather than trying to have them meet in the middle, it's best to pick a tile they'll reach at the same time - even if it's only a short distance from the loaded caravan.

You can also select the individual caravan, and delete some inventory from it. Unfortunately, it may mean you lose some important stuff, including even the thing you went to get, but in the case that you have no other choice , eg no other people or animals to send out, then this could be something you might do.
