Caravan help

[Venge]

I'm trying to form a caravan and send it off, but after packing, everybody stands there. I don't know why. They stand there until they pass out and die of starvation. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? this is super troubling.

3 reasons I've experienced - always my mistake:

1. You wanted to bring food and while setting the order the limit needed ran out.  More needs to be made by is always just behind.

2.  You have an animal you want to bring but it's trapped or sick, or maybe even died.

3. gun or attire you wanted to sell got picked up by someone and the caravan is waiting for a new one to be produced whether it's in production or not.

I'm considering moving away to the friendly AI ship. It's far, but I don't know how much food would I need. It's early Fall and taking all essentials like food, medicine and non-carnivorous animals I can manage about 18 days of travel. Most of the path is flat temperate forest and arid shrubland. Is there a way to display expected travel time at this time of the year ? I mean BEFORE the caravan is packed and has left.

I saved the game, made a 1 person caravan and apparently he would need 3 seasons to get to "Journey's Destination".

Do caravans get something like "Low Expectations" ?

Nope, but what you could do is launch them to the furthest spot possible then have them foot it the rest of the way.  That will save you at least 1 season of travel.

First time Im forming a caravan. Got the selected colonists, items and muffalos.

...but it looks like the setting up is bugging up, as one colonist keeps picking up an item and dropping it the next second, repeating this sequence non-stop, the remaining party members are waiting close by. The item he is with are berries, theres plenty more in my storage so I know its not a numeric issue.

Whats going on? How can I resolve this?

Try to cancel the current caravan setup. Select the pawn for the caravan and cancel their jobs.

Try a different caravan maybe with different pawns and items.
