Caravan Trading Posts ?

[Hellrazer001]

Do the Caravan Trading Posts have any animation " like People or Brahmin " interact with them ?
So far I have built around a Dozen and have not seen anything.

thanks.

Also just noticed there is no option to build one at Oberland Station ?

The trading post you unlock by doing Kessler's quests?

In my settlements the traders(Carla, Lucas, Cricket and Doc Weathers) will hang out around it, unless you give them something to sit on, like stools or a cooking station, nearby. Their pack brahmin are suppose to go under the tent and stay by the trough, although brahmin are brahmin and glitch out sometimes.

But as far as unique animations, like settlers going over and talking with them or anything like that, no. It'd be nice if they did.

I've never tried to build one at Oberland since that location is such a pain to defend. So I avoid building anything there. I usually only keep the original two settlers there and only use it as a connecting point for provisioners.

It's definitely possible to build a caravan trading post there. You may be getting a bug where certain settlement items don't show up at specific settlements; the last time I had it (also at Oberland, but with one of the shops), I fixed it by going to build the item at a different settlement, then returning to the settlement where it was missing. Once the item had been selected for building at the other settlement (I didn't actually build it there), the game seemed to remember it existed.

What makes it difficult to defend? I've never had much trouble with it myself.

There are a few unique interactions associated with it, such as leaning against the brick wall.

However, if you place other props (Chairs, etc) near the Trade Post, the traders will interact with those too. It's a good way to set up like, a little bazaar. Plop the trade post down, then throw chairs and tables around it.

Thanks guys, I have had nothing even go close to the Caravan trading Posts, might need to give them more time, I thought there would be like a Caravaner and Guards and a Brahmin walking up to them and hanging out for a little while before heading off.

@DouglasGrave I will try that, and see if I can build at Oberland, I have had a few bugs there myself, I had to put all the beds in storage and then place them again to get the settlers assigned, and it does seem to take a while for assigned things to assign there.

@DouglasGrave, yes that did the trick with Oberland Station thanks.

My trading posts only ever have a vendor stop by if I reload the game. They never wind up going their on their own.

I think however, this is because my only trading post is in Sanctuary, and some merchants probably can't get to Sanctuary in a short enough time span to not conflict with their normal schedual.
