Get them a few more levels, and soon the same items will have a better(though still wrong) valuation of around 4-500, eventually when good enough, you will actually get exact values for higher worth items. So even if they are offering double for cut gems, we are doubling actual value from 2-300, to 4-600, and the estimate is usually STILL ~1000, because the dwarf is rounding waaay up. Will first appear as something like ~1000, which is waaaaaay off their actually value, because my broker doesn't know how to do his job yet. If the values don't seem to match, its much more likely that either you are not actually selling them the specific type of thing they asked for, and/or that you dwarf's appraisal skill isn't high enough to give exact item values, especially for higher valued ones, and is doing some MASSIVE rounding, so you are not actually seeing the right value for items yet.Įxample, at start of my forts, i usually don't bother with broker skills to start, and so for many of the cut gems I make that are somewhat valuable(around 200-300 value) I could swear that I checked the value of an item the caravan had said it want'ed(before I sent it to the trade depot) and again once in the trade screen, and the trade screen value roughly double(they offered something between 190%-210% in original agreement) No idea why the value isn't calculated withing the trade menu on your side (only theirs), fixing this and using another coloured font to represent the desired goods to explain the value would be nice.Īt least once the items are AT the trade depot?(In the actual trading screen where you sell) You can order the goods moved over and request the broker to show up, but you want to give the dwarves a few days to actually deliver stuff before initiating the trade process (with q- t).Originally posted by Lminith:Yes, you can only check it before.īe aware that within the trade window the value of your goods doesn't reflect the desired value they mentioned, unlike your requested items! Your broker and depot are on one side, all your export goods are on the other.ĭid your broker show up too early? Since you said the dwarves weren't even trying to deliver stuff, this is unlikely, but it's a common mistake. You may have inadvertently cut your fortress into two pieces, which aren't reachable from each other. I think this is probably the most likely problem from your description. Is your stuff reachable? If you've set up all your stockpiles on a different floor (which is common), make sure dwarves can reach that area as well. If the depot is in an insecure area (in a room outside your main gate, or even outside entirely!), make sure the front doors are unlocked, the drawbridge is down, &c. People screw these up constantly, it happens. However, is it accessible from the fortress? Check your stairs and ramps. The depot is clearly cart-accessible from the outside, because you say the traders showed up and unpacked properly. Still, these are some common reasons that trade depots are not working well. There are literally so many things that might have gone wrong with this process that we may not be able to help you without a save uploaded to. How is my leadership lacking? Is the dwarves' passive-aggressive ignoring me an early sign of a mutiny about to happen? No mandates are impeding trade, stockpiles are giving away like hippies elves, no burrows active, no forbidden items (couldn't have marked them for trade anyway, I think). When I start trading, stuff from last year is available for selling. They were all going about their business: attending meetings, watching sparring demos, eating, sleeping, doing their job (for a change), dumping, moving items to stockpiles. The day that they showed up, I immediately told everyone to start moving goods to the Depot.Īnd told my broker to haul his ass over too.īy the time the broker finally decided to show up, I found out to my surprise, that no-one could be bothered to haul items to the trade depot, even though hauling to the Trade Depot jobs have a high priority (right?).
