[A20/20.1] Traders never have seeds in their stock.

[aY227]

No mods / fresh start multiple times. / I did reset traders inventories more than 100 times

 

Best visible on trader Rekt because he should have guaranteed at least 1 seed:

 

<!-- Trader Rekt, id=8, carries more food, seeds farming stuff -->
	<trader_info id="8" full_reset="true" min_inventory="30" max_inventory="500" min_items_swapped="20" max_items_swapped="20"
		reset_interval="3" open_time="6:05" close_time="21:50">
		<trader_items count="all">
			<item group="seeds" count="1,2" />
			<item group="cannedfood" count="3,6"/>
			<item group="traderAlways"/>
			<item group="traderGeneral" count="4,8"/>
			<item group="generalResources" count="9,14"/>
			<item group="constructionSupplies" count="2,8"/>
			<item group="decorativeBlocks" count="2,7"/>
			<item group="tools" count="1,2"/>
			<item group="weaponsMeleeT0-1" count="1"/>
			<item group="weaponsGunsT1" count="1"/>
			<item group="weaponsGunParts" count="1"/>
			<item group="clothes" count="1,4"/>
			<item group="groupArmorLightMixed" count="1,2"/>
			<item group="groupArmorHeavyMixed" count="1,2"/>
			<item group="traderElectrical" count="1,2"/>
			<item group="modAllT1SecretStash" count="1,2"/>
		</trader_items>

 

But other traders also never have seeds.

The other traders don't reference seeds at all in any of their tiers so you won't see seeds in their stock.

 

Rekt's seed code is interesting, as I can see a space between " and />

 

			<item group="seeds" count="1,2" />

That's the only space in an item group for any of the traders.  Wonder if removing that space would cause Rekt to start stocking seeds.  I know that spaces in wrong places can cause errors in the code for the game, but not sure if this is the case here.

 

I will write up a modlet tonight and fix that along with adding seeds to the other traders to see if they start selling them.  I did check the blocks file and seeds were assigned an economic value.

 They do, seeds are sub group of traderGeneral

This typo doesn't matter, I checked it.

Ah yes.  Not sure how I missed that as I specifically opened up traderGeneral to check it out, I blame work messing up my concentration on doing gaming stuff  😉

 

I need to check what I did back in Alpha 19.  I thought I made changes to the traders and was getting seeds, but I could just be imaging it.  Luckily I saved that custom trader file so I can go back to it and see what I might have done (or confirmed that I really didn't do anything).

[BFT2020]

So I tried to get it to work in A19 but was not able to figure it out before A20 dropped.

 

I did figure out a workaround though, but there is an issue with it

 

1 - They only show up if you search for them - not if you just look in the various categories - probably because this was a quick test and I still need to do additional work like defining a category for the seed bundles

 

[aY227]

So, it also didn't work in A19 and it isn't on KI list? Interesting.

Would be nice to at least see "confirmed" post from QA

Nice job btw.

Hi BFT2020

 

You can use the option of traders.xml = "traderAlways" , with that the trader will always sell the seeds.

Hey TFP, how it's going?

 

 

[BFT2020]

They might not be adding them as it could be a balance issue right now; though with the 50% chance of getting a seed back, might not be as much as an issue now.
