Trade request?

[Ringus]

Hi , I have had a trade request expires in 5,2 days. Travel time is over 7 days?

So it looks impossible. Or could I use a transport pod? What happens if I load it up with items and send it?

Many thanks

You need to have someone sent with the items so you can trade them.Good thing the trasport pods allow human travel.
If you send just the items, it'll treat it like a gift.

Have you accepted the quest yet? If not, that timer only shows how long you have left to accept it - a new timer starts afterwards that shows how long you have to deliver the items.

Just want to reiterate that this is correct. The initial acceptance time limit is confusing because it seems like the challenge would be completing the trade within that amount of time.

Trade quests are like building quests: the amount of time to complete them is distinct from the acceptance limit. The problem is trade quests don’t clearly state the expiry limit in the body of the text. I think this is a holdover from the 1.0 version of trade quests.

Also, there’s no downside to failing to complete a trade quest AFAIK.

Also also, you can’t send transport pods without a pawn to fulfill the quest. You have to send a pawn with the goods, like a regular caravan, and you have to have enough capacity to caravan with the rewards.

There is a cool mod that lets you ride animals so you can haul ass across the map. Probably too late to help- but I can't go without that mod anymore because it SUCKS to spend weeks traveling.
