AUTOMATED CARAVAN TRADING
Tired of your pack animals just standing around eating hay? Fed up with manually micromanaging trade routes?
Send out caravans that trade independently, generate compound interest profits, and return home—all while you focus on your colony. Perfect for passive income generation.
⚡ CORE FEATURES
- Set & Forget - Configure once, profit continuously while you play
- Compound Interest - Profits reinvest daily for exponential growth (2-7% per day)
- Smart Routing - Automatically travels between friendly settlements
- Pack Animal Bonuses - Better animals = more profit (up to +100%)
- Risk-Free - No combat, no random events, just steady gains
- Early Recall - Bring them home early (15% penalty)
💰 HOW IT WORKS
- Click any settlement → "Start Automated Caravan"
- Choose colonist (higher Social skill = more profit)
- Set silver investment (800-5000+ recommended)
- Add pack animals for multipliers
- Set journey duration (5-60 days)
Caravan auto-pathfinds to settlements, earns daily compound profit, notifies you at each stop, then returns home safely with everything.
📊 PROFIT EXAMPLES
Conservative:
800s investment + 30 days + Social 10 + 3 muffalo = ~2,150s return (+1,350 profit)
"I Have Elephants":
3,000s + 45 days + Social 16 + 4 elephants = ~22,000s return (+19,000 profit)
Insane Mode:
5,000s + 60 days + Social 18 + 4 elephants = ~45,000s return (+40,000 profit)
That's 800% return in 2 months with zero risk.
⚠️ BALANCE WARNING
Let's be honest - this mod is hilariously unbalanced.
With good capital (3000+ silver) and high social skill (15+), you can make absurd amounts of money:
• 7% daily compound interest = 1,800%+ annually
• No combat/random events/risk
• Stack multiple caravans
• Exponential scaling
This will trivialize wealth management. Use it if you want easy mode. Avoid it if you enjoy being poor.
Pro tip: Start with 800s → reinvest to 3,000s → reinvest to 10,000s → congratulations, economy broken.
