Merchant disappeared

[Ph0enixes]

The Merchant who "borrow" me his field and gave me quest to bring him (12 carrots.....) just disappeared and I cant find him in the city? Any ideas?

[kailamtang]

He comes on certain day(Tuesday?)

[Ph0enixes]

Are you sure? But which symbol is tuesday?

[lentinant]

Take a look into characters tab. Each character with limited appearances has icon of day above him.

The Merchant arrives every week on the Day of Gluttony. If you are trying to find him on a day that is not the Day of Gluttony, he will not be in town.

If it is the Day of Gluttony and he is not in the town, then this might be a bug that you should report.

Looks like if you don't talk to him for a long time, he vanishes and won't reappear. (I kind of forgot about him until I had the church upgraded twice)
I have waited the entire 'Gluttony' day (I call it Quakeday after the similarity in the logo) but no sign of the guy. Never spoke to him and looks like a bug now

Oh yeah! It does look like the Quake logo! So about this "bug" with the merchant, this is the first I've read of it. Is it a common bug?

[Xane Tempest]

I don't think it's that common. So far, this is the only other place (sans bug report written by me) where it's mentioned...
Can't imagine what caused it other than some kind of coding check not happening or some other event screwing with it...
There's too many variables to go through without others who have experienced it :(

Time altering mod? Are you referring to the update that made the days longer ingame? Or is it a mod you can download to make the days longer?

yeah talking about this one: https://steamcommunity.com/app/599140/discussions/0/1694923613854361682/

i strongly feel that is the main reason why everyone has dissapearing npcs or npcs geting stuck. (and write them of as actual game breaking bugs) the bottomline even mentions something about it

Okay that is simply disgusting, I am downright furious right now after reading that link! The developers are at no fault here and people on the board cry for help because they downloaded a mod from some third-party modder just to make the days longer and give them a more than satisfying feel with the game!

I have no respect for these people who "shoot themselves in the foot" by going into the games file directories and changing things that are not intended to be messed with.

If OP IS using a mod then they need to fess up right now.

indeed, this game has no mod support, the mod linked is simply a file tweak that could break your game. but it seems people dont realise this or dont know any better. i was close to downloading the mod myself, but decided against it in the end. now 91 hours later in the game and never had a single game breaking bug. (the only one i am aware of is snake dissapearing at the very end of his questline so i avoided triggering that)

i have to add that i am not 100% sure whether this mod is the cause of all issue's. the only way to figure that out is to have a poll to see how many people who use the mod get stuck npcs, and how many people who dont have the mod get stuck npcs. but since i dont use the mod myself i dont feel like creating such a poll (since i dont have issues to begin with)
but i sure think it would help the devs ignoring all these "possibly" false bug reports.

[Xane Tempest]

Well, all valid points, but when you aren't using a modded game, it's more likely to be a bug that needs fixing.
If it's the result of a mod, that's just par for the course! Mods can make game-breaking bugs and that's the gamble you take when cheating, modding, altering or any other change made to the game outside of playing it as it was intended (within reason)

Just to clarify, I have NO mods going on, nor do I intend to mod the game until I've completed it to my satisfaction.

[Teovald]

Spent all glutony day in the village as well. I can't find the merchant.
Never seen him actually, but the innkeeper gave me a quest to talk to him.
I don't use any mod either.

So send the developers a bug report if he doesn't show up. He should be in front of the storage building next to the underground bush entrance.
