Ukrainian description / Опис українською

Додає 6 нових торговців з крамницями, що генеруються в нових чанках світу. За замовчуванням з'являються дуже рідко.

Список торговців:

  1. Годинникар: Купує всі деталі, підвузли Джонаса тощо. Продає зібрані механізми. Сумісний з Translocator Engineering Redux, Jonas Boat.
  2. Антикварник: Купує мотлох, ванільні циліндри та книги з історіями. Продає недоступний декор.
  3. Декоратор: Купує картини, барвники й спеціалізовані рідини. Продає різнокольорове скло, творчі блоки й листя для вашого подвір'я.

Відомі проблеми:

  1. Торговець художник може не з'являтися у світі через невідому несумісність з модами

Плани на майбутнє:

  1. Додати хоча б 2 нових торговців
  2. Більше сумісностей з іншими модами
  3. Власні діалоги
  4. Збалансувати ціни на товари

Discord:

Цей мод був створений спеціально для українського сервера Вічний Серафим. В більшості випадків, ціни на товари орієнтуються на економіку цього сервера.

Shazza, 1 day ago

Out of curiosity, as I'm trying to make my own trader mod, how did you determine where (for example) the Antique Trader spawned inside the Antique House?

Is it automatic when you tie them into the traders-spawn.json?

There's very little documentation about it since the recent changes @_@

Willownezz, May 31st at 6:05 AM

it would be nice if the trader perimeter wasn't so square; it would blend better when it spawns outside of grass areas

Demon_Spawn, May 12th at 12:10 PM

Does the 7th "trader" actually spawn naturally?

esen, May 9th at 6:41 PM

Would this work in 1.21.5? It won't let me launch my world with it because of the version mismatch, but I saw you say it should work in 1.21.x?

esen, May 9th at 7:34 AM

Does this work with trader phones? And in 1.21.5 if anyone has tried.

justOmi , Apr 25th at 8:26 AM

Demon_Spawn I'll do my best, but I can't promise it will be done quickly

Demon_Spawn, Apr 24th at 9:11 PM

Is this mod going to be updated to 1.22? I really enjoy the new trader types and would love to see them in the newest release

 

HaxxorBunny, Apr 7th at 7:32 PM

seems like they never spawn, got 130 hours on this world and i havent seen even 1 of them, what trader sells decor traders?

justOmi , Mar 26th at 9:50 AM

I might replace some of the decorations with chiseled ones
But this interaction was intended

Orladdin, Mar 26th at 1:46 AM

I've only seen a pottery trader so far, and while I like his shop, the pottery on shelves, in vessels, in pit kilns and piled around in ground storage (including the pots on the fences) can all be picked up and taken. You need to mark these as owned so finding one of these doesn't just turn into a loot-fest leading to an empty and undecorated structure.

justOmi , Feb 5th at 11:14 PM

you're welcome

Jadesy, Feb 5th at 8:18 PM

Thank you justOmi

justOmi , Feb 5th at 9:53 AM

Traders will appear infrequently by default and I haven't worked with config files yet, but you can check out the file settings here:
tradie\assets\tradie\patches\traders-spawn.json
Jadesy

Jadesy, Feb 5th at 12:55 AM

Does this mod have a configuration? It doesn't seem to be configureable on its own? I'm not seeing any of these traders after having installed the mod several days ago (and loading new chunks to attempt to find them).

 

zakhad, Jan 13th at 3:18 PM

Getting sommelier merchants occasionally spawn in a 1tile deep pond, i know expanded food author recently fixed his from spawning underwater could ask them what they did to fix it. 

Michael97, Jan 7th at 8:36 AM

I need someone to buy my produce overproduction D,:

 

justOmi , Nov 28th 2025 at 10:30 AM (modified Nov 28th 2025 at 10:37 AM)

1. If you want a better change of spawning you can change "chance" and "minGroupDistance"
2. No, caravan is the correct spelling, but it works, so there is no point in changing it. ChezWaldo

ChezWaldo, Nov 28th 2025 at 10:03 AM

If i wanted to have a better chance at the traders spawning closer together. Would i need to just change all the 2000 distances that is in the config file? 

Also is it supposed to say cavaran? or is it supposed to say caravan? Does that wording make a difference?

justOmi , Nov 25th 2025 at 10:55 AM

someday for sure Kamulton

Kamulton, Nov 25th 2025 at 7:22 AM

will there be an update?
justOmi , Nov 23rd 2025 at 1:28 PM

The appearance of my shops is low, mod must be compatible xXxKirillxXx

Yacine_Cnbl, Nov 23rd 2025 at 10:58 AM

justOmi Is this mod compatible with tradercamps? I cannot find any of your structures in unvisited chunks

justOmi , Nov 21st 2025 at 2:16 PM

No problem xXxKirillxXx

Yacine_Cnbl, Nov 21st 2025 at 1:00 PM

wait what really? thank you so much justOmi

justOmi , Nov 20th 2025 at 8:26 PM

Actually, you can. Traders will appear on new chunks. xXxKirillxXx

Yacine_Cnbl, Nov 20th 2025 at 4:53 PM

can i add this to an already existing world? i assume not yet i have hope 😞

justOmi , Nov 20th 2025 at 6:49 AM

If I overcome my laziness, but everything works at 1.21 ChezWaldo

ChezWaldo, Nov 20th 2025 at 6:20 AM (modified Nov 20th 2025 at 6:21 AM)

Will this be updated for 1.21.XX? 

justOmi , Aug 18th 2025 at 7:59 AM

DejFidOFF talked about older buildings, before 1.2.0 JokoJose

JokoJose, Aug 18th 2025 at 2:40 AM (modified Aug 18th 2025 at 2:40 AM)

DejFidOFF I dont know, i appreciate the simplicity of the structures, its way better than just a random wagon with a campfire like ive seen on other mods that add traders. What matter is the traders themselves, the structures/buildings doesnt matter much as you cannot break any block owned by traders. 

justOmi , Aug 14th 2025 at 8:37 AM (modified Aug 14th 2025 at 8:42 AM)

I think I have an idea how to fix your problem, stay tunned. SubtleOrc

SubtleOrc, Aug 14th 2025 at 5:23 AM

Hello justOmi Ive had a chance to test out the new Somelier Trader and have some observations.

The container type is really over restrictive - the trader wanted a Brown Jug and I tried to use a Dark Brown Jug and he would not accept it. Makes it really painful.

Also the majority of the spirits seem to have been the Aged/Strong/Vintage types which are REALLY hard to make in Expanded Foods/Culinary Artillery. I dont know if its possible to adjust the mod so that MOST of the time they just want either wine/ale or Spirits/Whiskey that kind of thing and occasionally the special varieties.

All in All I really appreciate the work you've done on the mod. I am sure if my wishlist is easy or not to implement.

 

justOmi , Jul 23rd 2025 at 11:11 AM

DilanRona, Jul 23rd 2025 at 6:19 AM

Any chance you can add traders for gravel and sand?

justOmi , Jun 13th 2025 at 8:02 AM

I'll try to make an update during my vacation, which is this month SubtleOrc

SubtleOrc, Jun 13th 2025 at 12:37 AM

Thank you justOmi. Looking forwards to the update. A mix of bottle, jugs or buckets would be awesome. I had a look at the json in your mod and it seemed fairly easy.

justOmi , May 29th 2025 at 7:56 AM

I can do it SubtleOrc

SubtleOrc, May 29th 2025 at 2:14 AM

First of all, thank you for making this excellent mod.

A slight enhacement request if at all possible.

For the Sommelier Trader, would it be possible for him to buy jugs or bottles instead of, or along side, the buckets of brandy? Maybe 3 gears for a bottle and 9 for a jug... ?

Drehverschluss, Apr 4th 2025 at 6:19 PM

Hello.

 

I get a error msg after adding your mod. Maby you can see whats wrong here but i assume that 2 mods are calling something the same.

I might rebuild shops. But they were designed to be simple. DejFidOFF

justOmi , Mar 19th 2025 at 7:56 AM

1. If you are an admin, you can place a slave trader and buy any trader you want. By default, they will be spawned in the world. The exception is the slave owner. He is creativy only.
2. Personally, I didn't see any conflicts on our server or in the test worlds. If you find anything, let me know.
Cookieie

DejFidOFF, Mar 19th 2025 at 12:20 AM

Hello justOmi

firstivel, cg for your mod. I will not critisize the mod, it´s good to go I guess. You can put selling/buing lists in config to separate file, like in new 1.20 traders, it´s better.

But honestly, the buildings are ugly ( maybe I will not build better ), really, please, if you are ( like me ) not good at building ask someone ( like I do ) to help you who is..

Good luck.

Cookieie, Mar 18th 2025 at 11:05 PM

Do these traders spawn randomly or can I place them where I want them? Like in a shopping mall or a bazaar.

And are there any conflics with other trader mods? Or the VS Village mod.

justOmi , Mar 18th 2025 at 9:40 AM

It's good to hear that. Let me know if you have any other issues. Wist

Wist, Mar 17th 2025 at 10:31 AM

I am really enjoying your new trader types, thank you.  Did you lock translocator engineering parts to the clock maker trader? I can't get their recipes to display anymore.  I'd still like the ability to craft them.

 

Update: the conflict ended up being from Bricklayers instead, in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.

Thanks Tarlin

Tarlin, Mar 1st 2025 at 5:37 PM

It appears there may be a conflict eith with base game traders or with the BetterTraders mod:

1.3.2025 17:34:45 [Server Error] Failed registering item game:creature-humanoid-trader-painter:
1.3.2025 17:34:45 [Server Error] Exception: Attempted to register Item with code game:creature-humanoid-trader-painter, but an item with such code already exists. Must use a unique code

justOmi , Feb 28th 2025 at 9:04 PM

You're welcome Tarlin

Tarlin, Feb 28th 2025 at 7:03 PM

@justOmi Thank you, downloading and putting it on the server now. I appreciate it.

justOmi , Feb 28th 2025 at 5:04 PM

The mod simply does not add items from EF/ACA. I have this mod on a server with EF/ACA and there are no conflicts. Tarlin

Tarlin, Feb 28th 2025 at 3:48 PM

Good day justOmi, I am reading through your description and your last traders info says, "Planned compatibility with Expanded Food/ACA". Does this mean that your mod is currently creating a conflict with Expanded Food and ACA or does it just mean that the trader is not currently able to generate for trade the items from those mods? Interested in using on my server but if it is throwing errors if all 3 mods are installed at the same time then I will wait for this to be patched in. Appreciate your hard work, mod looks great so far!

justOmi , Feb 24th 2025 at 1:35 PM

There is no need to create a new world. Traders will spawn on the new chunks JunidO
