I've heard it was every season, possibly. This is definitely time for some dwarven science!

What's the seed of your world?

That is a very old version of the mod... but I have never seen gobbos at peace in it. Interesting.

Goblins are often at peace with you, that doesn't stop them from sending raiders, ambushers or siegers

i always get goblin caravans,

by caravans i mean raids and ambushes, but they do trade a very nice supply of goblinite which is difficult to purchase from other sources, i offer them death for it, they usually accept.

Dear Urist McStockpileDrone
I just found a barrel which contained a wheelbarrow. Inside the wheelbarrow was another barrel. I don't even understand how that is possible.

I've read elsewhere that they can be at peace with you. From what I remember of that (it was in 31.25) they send one caravan a year beginning the second year. I think it's an early in the year caravan.

while the "goblin caravan" is on the wiki I think, I also think they mean ambushes etc with those, noone in my time here reported actual trading with the goblins, unless it was giving out free death

I don't think that goblins will send caravans to you, even if your civilization is somehow at peace with them. If I remember correctly, goblins don't have the tokens for pack animals and wagon pullers in their entity raw, so they can't form a trading caravan.

If you're using a mod then this might have been changed, however.
