PineReseen Posted March 25, 2025 Report Posted March 25, 2025 I think I've encountered this empty cart/wagon for the second time now. I think it was the same model as well: Is this normal? The cart is claimed as well by Trader.
Thorfinn Posted March 25, 2025 Report Posted March 25, 2025 It happens. Go far enough away so that the chunk unloads, return, and it should be populated.

I did go around the length of chunk discovery on the map away from the cart, but it didn't have the trader (Maybe i didn't go far away enough?). Though, it was getting late in the game so I slept on the hay bed, and when my character woke up, the trader was there (and like 5 drifters outside the cart). Maybe he was respawning for some reason? According to the wiki: Quote If the player succeeds in killing a trader, his wagon and goods will remain protected by the land claim. He will re-appear 24-72 game-hours later. So, maybe he died somehow, or the game just spawns the cart first and then waits to spawn the trader?
dakko Posted March 25, 2025 Report Posted March 25, 2025 I have had this happen maybe twice before in earlier releases (player since v1.6). They eventually show back up, just as the wiki states. I just had it happen in 1.20.6 and (perhaps coincidentally) am also using Better Ruins for the first time. No idea if there could be any connection. It was an artisan trader near spawn; he wasn't gone long.
Zane Mordien Posted March 25, 2025 Report Posted March 25, 2025 I've had it happen many times. Usually logging out and back in will fix it, but if not then yeah come back later and the trader will be there.

The character laid down and closed their eyes, but time never passed while they were laying down, instead the clock froze. when they got up, I was unable to sleep again as if a full sleep cycle had passed. playing in 1.21.4
