Trade Depot Exploit
« on: July 22, 2009, 10:47:37 am »

When I moved my trade depot outside, I set my old depot to be deconstructed. There where merchants at the old one, unloaded and all set up, so I figured they would just move on up to the other depot. I was wrong, heh. After the depot was deconstructed, my dwarfs ran and grabbed all the traders items. I tested it a couple more times, to see if the bug was consistent, and sure enough, it was.

Anyway, Sorry if this has already been brought to your attention already. I didn't find anything when I searched Trade Depot except for the multi depot and humans thing.

Yeah, there's a lot of ways to steal from the traders, and deconstructing the depot is one of them. But they'll remember you stole from them, and bring a lot less stuff next time.

In my experience, they bring more extremely cheap stuff like logs and cloth and raw plants, and less of finished goods.
