Trade

[Silverback]

Does the villages on the map change their Demand and Supply items? I have established several Work group trade routes who automatically are running and when reviewing they seem to have changed Demand and Supply in the villages I trade with? This has not been notified to me and not sure what the impact is of this? Is the trade wasted? Do I need to manually look at every trade if they are still relevant? Thank you if you can clarify or improve the function of the trade. I am dependent on importing goods. Report #5889

They do not change commodity, but they do change value based on availability of commodity. At least I have never seen commodities change in a tribe, if I am incorrect I am sure a Dev will set me straight :D

If you trade constantly with them then their supply will be exhausted and your trips will be wasted, so give them time to resupply their stock by pausing the relevant trader group, or disbanding them and create a new trader group for another tribe.

Tribes will also up their camp and relocate to other parts of the map if you are pestering them with Raids! :D

When I create trade routes I name them for example like this "Driedfish4Rope" So I keep track on what is traded in various Workgroups but when revisiting later it is different commodaty in the village visiting, can it be when they re-locate also they switch wares in trading? One of the trades was trading "DryMeat" while my name on the trade route was something different but I would never need or set up such a trade route for drymeat,... this is why I suspect they change commodities over time.
