Hireable Merchants!

Description
This is the result of 4chan /vg/ /keng/ wondering if it was possible to have merchants set up shop at your base.

Took on that challenge and it turns out, you can have merchants set up at your base! And the best part about this is that it makes use of the Free Traders faction, which is a group that is hardly used in Vanilla game.

Here's how this works. The Trader Depot over at Smuggler's Bar is home to these merchants that you can hire to stay at your base like you would mercenary security. Even have a set duration on how long they stay.

Except you can trade with these guys even while at your base. And they come with different types of merchandise to sell.

Note as these guys are essentially repurposed wandering traders, they are not gonna move into whatever shop you make and run it there. Instead, they'll just patrol the base. So make sure to keep the merchant safe.

--Special thanks to 4chan /vg/ /keng/ for suggesting this idea. Do visit the place, its a location where mods are consistently being made where you can suggest your own or ask for help in making yours.

All 3 of the bars are willing to buy Illegal Goods at a high markup, and Smuggler's Run 15 seconds away actually sells Narcotics

And if you're willing to put an extra 2 minutes of your time, you can also dump the entire Swamp's production on them since they're right next to it

Would you consider making Illegal Goods forbidden at the Trade Depot to remove that super cheap money exploit ?

@Myst_Leissa But it's possible. That's good to hear. Thank you for your insight into this and the difficulties of making it work.

@|_| Clyax Aug 7 @ 5:38pm there is a function in the dialog editor to "Pay funds" all you would need to do is set the dialog to check that the recipent of the funds was the dialog user "IF_PLAYER", on the economic changes. Generally though I consider BEING PAID to have convenience a cheat for the player involved, and would likely mark mods doing such as having the "Cheat" Type. Also bear in mind, that the dialog is particularly finicky, and editing it is not exactly easy (i had trouble with my mod repeatedly giving bread randomly to everyone because it was on the wrong step of the dialog)

Can they just follow you also

@Seven That is the result of you sending them before you had a base. It's the same as sending mercs to a place that doesn't exist. They just wander off. Just import and rehire.

I hired 3 merchants to follow me before i built my base and ended up losing all of them and not being able to find more, is there a fix to this or a location i can check?

One idea I have is to make it so they pay you . This way it is like allowing the traders to set up shop in exchange for paying rent on the area in your base where they set up shop.

I know that this is using code from mercenaries where you have to pay them, but what if you set the payment to a negative value? Would it end up with them paying you? If that doesn't work, maybe there's another work around.

If this is still being updated, any chance you could tone down their comment frequency a little after a while the constant speech bubbles in base gets annoying. Small thing i know but hey ho feedback.
