Trading - Buying not working

[Kylestyle]

Ive set up trading, i know its working because im selling items (food atleast) but im not selling anything else and im not buying any tools, BUt ive set it to do so. Ive set it to buy 25 tools but after 30 weeks ive had 0 purchased, yes my stockpile is set up to recieve.

Same issue here - can't trade even though I have space in my warehouse for the specific item(s). Made sure it was set to accept in the warehouse and buy in the trade menu. Tried on the default map, and then on the valley map with the same results.

Since I've got quests where I need to supply fish, but can't fish myself and can't trade for them, this sucks. However, even if I could trade for them, the fish cost 100 gold per fish it seems and I need 20 of them - there is no way I'll be able to get that many in the timeframe allotted, so what gives...?

Sorry not using Discord, because they steal and sell your data. No thanks. No idea why anyone that has an idea of programming would use it.

The trader should be working for all maps. If you have a river in your map then you will likely need a bridge. If you have a bridge that is being used and the trade is set up correctly (warehouse with a slot set to the goods to be traded; slot set to accept; trade menu set to buy/sell until) and there is still an issue then there is likely a bug.
We will look into it.

If anyone would like to help by submitting a savegame then we would appreciate it. If you can upload your savegame to googledrive/dropbox or similar and send me a link on Discord we can then take a look.

If the trader doesn't come in the same way as immigrants then maybe i do need a bridge however you might need to add that as a tip in game somewhere.

I started in a place quite far away from a river and i cant afford to purchase anymore land to make a bridge, so if what you say is true, my save is screwed.

i will give you my save game so you can see :)

I have just got 20 tools by ceasing any other type of trade, ie polished stone, berries. Prior to that my tool stock was stuck on zero.

I went back to the Hills map and it worked, but don't remember seeing a river on the valley map - must have missed it.

Are the traders only intended to come to the map once a bridge is constructed? That makes some quests that are randomly selected impossible to complete.

My current Hills map doesn't have a river, but if you are on a map with one they did say you can build a bridge even if it isn't within your current territory...

Just bought this game. I was having fun. until I wanted to trade. Tried the hills map and the ocean map. When I want to import tools and export berry's to Davenport. Nothing happens. In my warehouse I accept both and in the trading screen I set export the berry's 5 and import the tools 5. But nothing happens. I have to export 30 berry's and have 37 day's to do it. But nothing happens. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

An indicator where the town traders come from, and maybe an indicator when they come would be nice. I don't think I've ever seen the trader once.

I hope the trading will be more deeper in the future. As it's the same few items in every save.

I have an overabundance of resources and traders are not purchasing ANYTHING so I have a massive backlog of resources with nowhere to put them (I have like 5 warehouses full of planks) and while I do get tools I have 0 income from trading. This has happened on almost every single map in the last month and it's making the game almost unplayable.
