Boai !!
this mod absolutely makes this work !!
Tynan try to check this out, i tried this mod and my caravans immediately worked !

[SEARCHBAR]

CALCULATE the food you need
search for a bit of medicines
search for the bedrolls

or add auto-food-calculator and please Tynan a SEARCHBAR in the caravan-item-list.

Kostriktor, take a look at this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2068456092

will do, thankyou Angus Burger !

You ever tried to herd 60 chickens in one direction? This is about as well as you can expect it to go.

and that is why, we, the apex-predators, invented ropes and cages, because nobody ever herded chickens from here to there.
besides that, chickens in rimworld are perfectly able to stay in a given zone without confinements, and yet, they wont form up for caravan.
you sure Whifflepits ?
i expect the game to work.

Honestly this is what I use the debug tool for, I just tell the caravan to instantly form.

It can do that ?
but that results into "cheating" and will disable achievments ?

besides that, its great to hear there is a solution, but still triggers because it is core-gameplay and should work !

hi Tynan
love your game and your youtube !
but, i see a problem...
you release paid-DLC when core-content is still broken ?
talking about caravans !
gathering the animals, loading, unloading etc...
please rewrite it from scratch.

my caravan-animals are assigned a zone, where the caravan-spot is, as soon as you give the order to form a caravan, the animals just start to leave the area, as they are no longer bound to their zone, pawns running behind the animals all over the map.

try it yourself, prepare a caravan with about 4 pawns, 10 muffalos, 60 chicken you want to sell on the way and a few food and medical items.

took me over 3 realtime-hours before i quitted waiting/hoping this would or could work.

and as of now, im stuck because of this and cannot play/enjoy the game.


when "reforming" a caravan while on the way, the reform-process is instant; couldnt forming it up be somewhat similar ?
of course it takes away experience, but at least it works, until you have new code !

peace to you !

EDIT: other users on Steam recommended to use drop-pods instead of caravan-forming.
you see few issues here yourself; player is at point where i dont have drop-pods researched, player wants to trade with neighbours and drop-pods would be "wasted".
or simply: caravan is part of core-mechanics and has to work!

thanks for reading, keep this great project rolling, hope it gets you rich and wish you to be able to keep your feet on the ground.

can i craft a zippo or something? i want to make a hut with the deads and burn it
