[Konrad von Richtmark]

With no caravan wagons in the current version, caravans are not quite big enough to allow me to rely on imports to replace part of my economy, despite having ample exports to pay for them. Is there any way to mod caravans to be bigger?

Would it help to increase the [TRADE_CAPACITY:...] value of pack animals, or would it have other consequences? What if I increased them all by a factor of, say, 10 or even 100?

doing that would allow traders to bring alot more stuff but also alot more junk you dont need like elf cloth

[Konrad von Richtmark]

I just tried multiplying all values by 100. Let's see what comes of it, I'll report back after a few caravans.

Won't you have a very slow-moving caravan, with a risk of not getting to Depot in time to trade?

Nevertheless, I'm interested in the results!

[Konrad von Richtmark]

Frankly, I have no idea about how encumbrance is calculated for pack animals. If you know, tell me by all means. I don't find any "strength" or corresponding stat in the data files, so I'd guess encumbrance (and thus speed), if affected at all, would be determined by how big a proportion of its total trade capacity is filled?

In the last version, there was a tag that made a creature able to be used for the caravan's transportation. You can make giant, tame creatures that can let caravans carry vast quantities of goods. I think this tag still works in the new version.
