Deplorable Posted December 24, 2024 Report Posted December 24, 2024 Can abandoned trader carts spawn in the world? In my 300 hours of play I have never came across one but tonight I have found 2 back to back. I play with the trader camps mod and both camps had skeletons laying on the ground and no traders. Before I came across these I did get into a fight with a trader. I was attacked my 2 bears and a wolf while checking out a camp. I managed to kill them but after I got done skinning them a trader walked over and punched me. I'm guessing the trader got hit in the fight. I ran away so I wouldnt need to kill him but now every camp seems to be empty. Am I being punished for the fight? Will they respawn?
Vratislav Posted December 26, 2024 Report Posted December 26, 2024 I have found a cart without a trader once, but no skeleton. (1.19 with Plains and Valleys and Better Ruins mod that shouldn't affect traders much).

Once in a while the cart is empty. I recall seeing a few people report traders spawning in the cart roofs, although I've only seen the empty carts. In any case, if you leave the area for a while and come back later, the trader should be there.

Regarding vanilla traders, if you manage to kill one, they do respawn eventually, I believe. As for mods though, I have no idea. Assuming this mod is the right mod though: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/3371 It looks like there is a "dead trader camp" included in the mix, so I'd say you just had a bad stroke of luck with the spawning and got the dead camp both times. However, judging by some of the comments left on the page, it also looks like that mod may be causing some traders to disappear from their wagons...in which case, I'm not sure if they'll respawn at all.
