the human wagons seem to treat stockpiles as roads. strange sight watching them wander off the actual road to go cross country over the stockpiles.  not a major issue, just a little odd.

we could build stockpiles to attract traders?!?
Lol, I know that isn't the case, but that is amusing that the stockpiles are being used as roads.

i have a road 5 wide  and the traders with the mules seem to have to tread on every square.....

Bizarre.  It should be easy to fix.

I have the same thing, and the same problem. The guys with the mules walk back and forth constantly and lag the entire caravan. The wagons move along really fast until they reach them, then they stop and wait...and wait. I have had caravans come and be completely halted by a group of mules walking back and forth so much that they eventually decided it was time to leave before they got to my trade depot (it was right across the underground river, if the wagons hadnt had the blockades of mules they couldve got there in seconds).

That and the wagons take FOREVER to finally enter the trading depot. I get 4 wagons piled up right outside it and it takes a few weeks before they finally get inside. Maybe there should be a way to build larger trade depots, or allow wagons to ride on inside without having to "crawl over" the other wagons and mules in the depot once they touch it?

Can you build multiple trade depots?  Maybe that would be an answer, and each wagon would choose one to stop at.

[Toady One]

I think multiple depots probably still confuse the game right now.  I'd have to work a little bit more to get the merchants to handle that situation correctly.

Thanks for the quick update on that then Toad.  Still, it's an interesting idea I think.
