I am playing the latest version and I've had three traders arrive and they are all empty. The trading post opens up and the left column is always empty.

Do you have a lot of dwarves going hungry? They then often will get the food from the caravan even before it gets to the depot.

[mattg63]

Nope, I'm in good shape on food.

I've had this happen (empty caravans) a lot in one game. That was with the fortress a few years old, but no broker, in case there's a link.

[Silveron]

I had issues with this my first few games. I have seen the starving dwarves seize goods from the merchants before they reach the depot. Have had it happen in the current release from September 3rd-9th, before this last update.

I'm not sure what's going on.  Was the world also generated in this version?

[mattg63]

This was a fresh world created with the September 8th release. I never saw this issue with the previous version.

I created another world yesterday and it's not an issue with this one.

[Tremain]

Ive had this same issue twice in a row now with the first dwarven caravan.

[Toady One]

Just so that I'm clear: there are caravans arriving with nothing, the games aren't heavily modded, and the goods were not seized by hungry dwarves as the caravan moved up?

[mattg63]

I started a new game to check this out and the dwarves were raiding the trader of food before it arrived. My earlier confusion was that I thought I had food but everything was either seeds or "other".

[yeahjim]

I just had a human caravan (no wagon access this year) show up empty-handed. We have plenty of food and are a happy people, so I don't believe that there was any thievery happening. This is using the latest version with no mods.

Oops. Just saw how old this thread is. Sorry if this is old news, um, for this new version.

The Mule Traders dont carry any goods when the Wagons dont have access to your depot.

[Wazootyman]

I have a similar issue. Old world. Trade had gradually been building until the latest patch (33f) and suddenly, though the traders bring a lot of mules/wagons they are mostly empty (one page of items tops).

[Tahin]

Whenever the humans send their mules, they arrive with nothing. I've also gotten it once with the dwarves, I think. And I'm playing vanilla 33f.
