Caravan traders bug?

When I am playing Kenshi on the version I just downloaded from steam, sometimes the caravan traders and caravan guards get stuck. They move back and forth really fast but don't go anywhere. I just wanted to know if this was only me? Or if they are planning a fix? They get unstuck when I attack one of the traders for a few seconds.

First post here! Hi!

The same thing is happening to me! It first started when i built a shop counter, but i realized i had built it in a small house instead of the saloon (Description says Saloons are good for shops). After building it in my saloon the trader's came over and a few would go inside(however I haven't ever seen them buy anything). To be honest i enjoy the bug if that's what it is because they get stuck right outside my base for a day or two and fight off any bandits who come by :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You get building materials from the building that says TRADE on it. It's about 500 cat per 2 I believe. Additionally, I think the stone processor will generate building materials, but I've not yet tried it.

Most of the cities have that TRADE building except for a few. The circles on your map are Trading Outposts, same thing, but they are all alone and not inside of a city.

There are two vendors in each trade outpost. One has trade commodities the other has building materials. Try talking to both people next time.

That is correct, and given the weight, and relative expense of the materials, mining +processor is the first thing i build after a house.

Just wanted to add +1 to the caravan pathing/animation bug. I usually have at least one group of caravan traders near my outpost that moves like...no, not Jagger, but spastics on pogo sticks.
