No trader?

Hey guys so this is my first time playing in months and it just updated to Alpha 19.2 b4. I just got to the last part of the tutorial where you find the trader and it says in all yellow caps NO TRADER. Any idea if that's a bug or how to fix it?

 
Do you use a Nitrogen map ? There is a known bug when using nitrogen maps that no trader can be found. But they exist.

You can find the coordinates of the traders in the prefabs.xml file. Open the file with a text editor and search for "trader".

Alternatively you can teleport directly to the trader. Type the command "ttpoi" into the command line and search for "trader".

When you started the game, did you generate a brand new map, or did you choose South Nefule County from the list that includes Navezgane and the three pregen maps?

It sounds like you are using a map generated in an older version, which are not compatible with a19.

When you click on 7dtd in your steam games list, a box pops up with the choice to either play or show launcher. Choose show launcher. Go to tools and clean all of your old data. Make sure to choose clean ALL old maps and not just maps not played in the last 30 days.

Once your data is cleaned, go to play game. Choose new random as your map. Give both the seed and the world names you haven't used before. Generating the map can take a bit of time, but is a one time thing per map generated, and you can reuse the same map all through a19, although when a20 drops you should repeat the data cleaning again. That shouldn't be for many months though.

 
Whelp I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and it didn't do anything.

katarynna thank you! im going to try that! I was using the map that was on there I'm assuming that's why it wasn't working. I'll try clearing the data and see if that works!

 
I might just be screwed with my game. I cleared the data which I thought was going to help but I'm still getting the NO TRADER message.

 
Have you tried playing on a different map yet or always the same one? I'd be willing to bet you can at least play Navezgane even if RWG or pregens are not working.

 
I don’t know what happened but I started another new game and it started working! Thank you all for the help I really appreciate it!

 
Even if it is fixed now, if you still got the "NO TRADER" message after cleaning through the launcher, delete your mods folder. Some outdated mods have been another culprit of the "NO TRADER" message, even if they were just in the folder and not loaded into that specific game.

 
open the console with F1, and type tppoi. It will bring up a list of all the POIs in the world. in the search bar type trader and it'll show you all the coordinates to the traders :)
