You wouldn't happen to have loads of trees around, would you?  Try chopping down a 3-tile path leading to your trade depot.

Yeah supposedly you need to have a 3-tile wide road to your depot, but I always seem to end up getting them to come and trade anyway. Bug?

From the sounds of it, we've got the same thing as was back in the 2D version. Not sure why Toady decided to put it back in, but we may never know his mysterious designs...


Anyways, yeah.  They'll gripe and moan about passing by your site, but they'll always come to trade.   You can build a road if you want, it looks better that way.

I just smoothed the boulders and the wagons came the same as they did in 33*.

Unless it has changed from 33g, the wagon won't come and trade if it can't get to your depot. The humans and their pack animals will trade with you, but they hold less and bring less than the wagons.

Use 'D' to see where you have an accessibility issue.

You don't need roads of any kind except for one spoiler I won't divulge. And that since the 3D version got out.

On a couple of occasions my depot has become inaccessible because too many trees sprang up near the border of the map.  Just keep cutting down trees until you can see that your depot is accessible from the 'D' screen.

You do not need a road in the current version.  However, roads can help in some instances because they prevent trees from growing back and blocking depot access.

Just remove trees and boulders between them and you.
