Trader has insufficient silver to cover this transaction

[Man-Man Killer]

I’m a little new to rimworld and I just started making beer to trade to traders for silver. One visited and I made a trade that would get be 3000 something silver. They ended up having only 200 and I accidentally confirmed anyways. They kept all of the beer though. Will they send me silver later or give it to me next time I see them? Please help I lost so much beer and other stuff.

[Ewell]

Nope. you're screwed. Pay more attention next time.

[Cormac]

lets say, you payed for an very expansive lesson.... no, you won't get that money, you basicly gave it to the trader as a present

[Stormsong]

Nope.

Gonna have to raid their bases and capture 3 or 4 people who will sell to slavers to the tune of 3000 silver.

Really though, nothing you can do about that now unless you have a save before the transaction.

[adobo]

Nope. They're more than happy to take your free stuff.

I believe they automatically take extra silver value as a gift and will give you goodwill. Not sure though. if not, try loading a save or using dev mode to get your beer back. For future reference, just pay attention to the popup. If you like trading, you can send caravans to nearby settlements (you can check to see what they buy beforehand) or use goodwill to summon more visiting traders.

They should give you goodwill in exchange.

If you want to undo this mistake you can activate developer mode and give yourself your beer back, or refund your money. you can spawn anything in, up to your playstyle what you think would be fair. The developer mode commands have a search bar where you can look for how to spawn items. I did this quite a few times while learning how to play when I would do something that I was unaware of the consequences, and dont see it as being too cheezy.

How dare they so blatantly come into your home and steal your hard earned beer? Time to raid their base and teach them a lesson.

So beat the crap out of them, fix up their wounded, take them as prisoners, then release them for goodwill once you get back to your colony.
