Hey,
i played several months and no trade ship came. I have no mods and i remember traded before hotfix. I tried install game again and start play on new map. Please help.
Can anyone else confirm? This could just be bad luck.
I've had one trader stop by in Alpha 9d. To be fair, I was kind of slow getting the trade beacon and comms console built.
Maybe it's because Cassandra and Phoebe now have a Mean Time Between random events (which traders are) which on average, puts a bit of time between once chance to see a trader and the next. I'll post this in the suggestion forum as well, but perhaps traders should have their own schedule, so that they come by semi-regularly.
Last night I fast forwarded my colony after changing from 722 to 725 to see if there was a difference in traders frequency.
Looking at one of the savefiles I was getting a trader every 150k ticks (about 6 days) on average in 722. Updating to 725 looks like made it more random, just after the update I didn't get any trader from tick 1551467 to tick 2115837 (about 25 days). I didn't get a trader for another month and on the next one, I got 4 in a row.
On both cases the frequency looked fine to me. Three months without a trader is a little extreme and reducing the maximum deviation might be considered (not necessary in my opinion), but I believe the average is good.

Ok thanks.
