Setting Up Your First Trade Route

Setting Up Your First Trade Route

Place a Caravan Dock adjacent to storage containers like chests or barrels at your starting location. Use the dock's terminal interface to designate which items you want to export and what you want to import. Place another Caravan Dock at your destination and configure it to receive your exports and send back imports.

Once configured, the mod spawns horse-drawn wagons with coach drivers who travel physical paths between docks, avoiding steep terrain and hazardous drops. Caravans meet at route midpoints to exchange cargo before returning home. Your goods are protected by escrow—you only lose items if your wagon is actually raided along the road. Set a surplus floor to keep minimum supplies in your chests, ensuring you never run completely dry during trades.
