Visiting Traders Eating My Food?
Hi, I am new to this game, but it seems pretty lousy that visiting traders eat the very food I just purchased from them? WTH? Is this a bug? If not, how do I prevent them eating my food? I have it stored indoors. They grab some, have as seat at my table and chow down, lol. I am already low on food, and this just makes it worse.

Are you sure they're eating your food and not their own? they aren't supposed to eat your food

I think they're eating they're own pemmican. Visitors always have pemmican with them to eat

My Bad, I think you are right, and they were eating their own food...just being social at my table. Thanks!

It can still be annoying when they're all slurping away at their pemmican at your table and your own colonists have to eat without and get all pissy. Even worse if you have a nice clean dining room and it's suddenly knee deep in muffalo poop. It's not a bad idea to put a cheap table and some chairs out by where the caravans hang out.

Set up the trading spot, put a fire or torch nearby, they want let you in peace. Why should they enter my base, even better followed with muffalos and such. I mean some get killed for less than that.

ANIMALS, however. THEIR animals will eat the food off the ground. Whenever I bought any sort of food I just immediatly dedicate my entire colony to bringing it inside before all the animals in a kilometer radius swarm to eat it

I haven't had an issue with their animals eating food. Mine, sometimes. Wild animals, sure.

There's a useful mod for the former, at least, although it doesn't appear to be up to 1.4 yet. Animal Food Restrictions. As for the latter, put the trading spot inside your fenced or walled in pasture. Then add some cheap tables and stools inside or nearby and many problems are solved. It probably won't be the first thing you do, though, so those early caravans will have their muffalo crapping all over your dirt floors.
