Title: Caravan packing extra stuff
Post by: Decomi on October 10, 2020, 07:21:24 AM
So I made a caravan. They are just gonna travel for a day so didn't pack alot so they will move faster and so on. Now when they're done packing I click the donkey and check what he's carrying. I told them to carry some bedrolls, canned food, meds and that's it but he is carrying a f***ing hand. He's also carryong raw corn and other random stuff but the hand is most not ok. They are just gonna let it rot away on the road. #Triggered. Anyone knows what's up with this?

Hi,
- does this happen allways at any caravan you start or just once ?
-- When just these caravan, you are sure the donkey got unload before and didn't got stuff before (happen when you hauler are busy doing other things) ?

It happens every time I start a new caravan from the main base. I set up camp and I've had no issues with the caravans formed from the camp. The donkeys was not carrying anything beforehand.

Since we don't know what mod do you use, you need to experiment self.
Some mod allow you to auto. put stuff at the caravan like
Auto Caravan Equip  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1487284611

You should try at first at similar behavior happen on a new test colony.
Add hugslib mod to you modlist if you don't allready have it.
Enable Developer mode at the options.
Then with the top right icon you can quickstart a test colony.
Unforbid anything, maybe us the dev tools and spawn some additional things like the corn you mention.
Try to form a caravan and check if the same thing happen.

When it happen on a new colony too, you just need to disable mods until that don't happen again.

Okay ty for the reply!

Been sending bunch of caravans during the day and the deal just seems to be that if the pawns are about to haul something they don't cancel but pick the thing up and then instead of putting it where it's supposed to be they pack it on the donkey so just have to keep an eye on what they're doing and have them drop the stuff in the colony before leaving.

So you use Pickup&Haul, that they haul stuff to their inventory ?
The bad thing is, that mod is currently not longer developed, so you can't await any change from it.
But when you want that pawn's on caravan should drop their inventory stuff would be contraproduktiv too.
Don't forget mods like SimpleSideArms or Pharmacist, they would drop their sidearms or medicin too. Or the training food from a animal trainer.

Caravan is a special thing anyway, mosttimes you need to change the food policy for them. Then you could just check them too if they carry unwanted stuff.
