Thank you for your reply earlier! I’ve successfully stepped into the 1.6 era and the caravan issue is now resolved. Really appreciate your work!:happy_seagull:

Hey, just so you know, Orbital Drop Spots are not functioning.

Funnily enough, I disabled Trading Control - Dismiss in 1.5 because it became a vanilla feature. You shouldn't even be able to use my mod to dismiss.

Also, log file.

Hi, I encountered a critical red error when using Trading Control on RimWorld 1.5.

The error occurs when I dismiss a randomly spawned NPC trade caravan. The caravan says it’s "dismissed" but doesn’t leave the map, and I get constant red error messages.

According to the log, your mod is calling a method that no longer exists in RimWorld 1.5:

RimWorld.Planet.WorldRendererUtility.WorldRendered

This throws a MissingMethodException because the method was removed in the 1.5 update.

I suggest replacing it with something like Find.WorldCamera != null, which is the 1.5-safe equivalent.

Thanks for your work — just wanted to report this so it can be updated for 1.5 compatibility!

I had the question marks disappearing in a game and was able to reliably replicate it in a new game. However, I'm wondering if it might be a from the game itself and not necessarily something to do with this mod directly.

To replicate, I did a dev quick test with just the base game, DLCs, and this mod. Then, I turned on God mode and created a large room (large enough to not need a roof) with one opening square instead of a door. In that square, I then placed a single barricade.

I then put the Caravan Trade Spot in the far side of the room so the traders had to cross the barricade. I then summoned a caravan via dev mode.

The caravan arrived and entered the room. After a bit of time (it seemed to vary each time), the question mark over the trader's head disappeared.

As far as I can tell the lack of question mark isn't from this. You kinda got to look for the trader among them.
Tad  [author] Jul 21 @ 1:57pm 
Well thats certainly interesting. I have this on 1.6 and my caravans are fine.

Do you have a save file to share? Are you using any other mods that affect traders, such as hospitality?
theigabod Jul 20 @ 6:40pm 
I can confirm that something is broken. I can't initiate trade with anybody in the supposed trade caravan after installing this mod. No log entries show up for this so I have nothing to show. But I started a new game with this installed, got my starting buildings made, got a caravan visit. I looked at them and saw nobody with the question mark over their heads. Then I remembered I installed this mod and went to put the trade caravan spot down and it did attract them to the new location, but I still couldn't trade with anybody.

This seems to have an issue where the traders are unable to be traded with since their pack animals just sort of leave the map while the rest of the caravans go to the trade spot

Thanks for the update, all the old ones are deprecated but I like the dismiss option this one has. Thanks for your work! Hopefully you can get the Trade Ships / Shuttle spot working as well. :tobdog:
