Not sure on the loot though

There is mod that was reducing loot from Better Ruins to be more "vanilla" level, but I am not sure if it is compatibile with the actual version. I have installed it when playing first with Better Ruins, and it made the early game loot not being an overkill. In the late game, this reduction felt underwhelming, when some large ruin did not provide anything interesting for my collections, so I removed it since then.

Actually, I like BR buildings, despite being sometimes too large, as these big ones are still quite rare. Of course, this 16'th century supermarket is a bit strange. but I have found a fortepianno there, it was worthly to bring to the base.

As for the original topic of the thread, I have found three traders in the spot once, however, two of them were the same kind, so the diversity was not as good. Still, it was fun to make base next to them, with further plan to make a village around them. (That was not finished as it was world started in unstable versions to test the 2nd story chapter and finally was not suitable to play as a longterm world.)

Do any of them buy a thing the other is selling at a profit?

In theory yes. In practice, it's not worth it. Prices are variable and the profit is only a handful of gears. The list of items traders buy is pretty small, so it can take a long time to be able to sell something again, if you find something cheap. IMO, given the limited inventory size and large travel distances, it's a complete waste of time.

It's a much better idea to dig up ruins (some have lucrative cellars), pan bony soil (you can get emeralds, peridots, diamonds and various useful stuff like copper spearheads and candles) or explore easy caves.

For the original topic, from the hundreds of traders I have seen, there are on rare occasions 2 traders in the same spot. I've never seen 3 traders.

Will we lose the caravan traders? Who knows.

From what Elvas has shown in his developer streams, it looks like all the traders are going to be shacks/outposts as of 1.22.
Maybe they'll redo the wagon design and keep it around in some form, though.
