traders disappeared in vanilla due to a bug, not intentional like RH had it.traders disappear frequently in vanilla with trader protection on.
here's just a sample google has to offer.

not released yet still in testing and QA.

I was in the same boat found a dozen or more traders that were gone.
When this "feature" was first released in RH, there was an 80% chance for a broken/missing/dead trader visibly noticeable by the broken outer wall usually next to the door. 4.3 will be reducing that chance, to what %, idk.

Unfortunately that is what headshots will do to them. As for the other assets we wanted to move away from using anyone elses work and use our own. I am looking into purchasing some of those terrors for our mod myself though, but that change will most likely occur in 17
For those who wish to continue 4.1 and 4.2 Games and Saves
I would start making backup copies of any of your 4.1 or 4.2 worlds in prep for release. The links in the launcher WILL be changing and may force a reinstall for those versions. Saves wont be touched as 4.3 will be on a new branch but previous versions will be moved to new links for archiving. This is the first and only warning for this change.

I tried to like this mod, it does alot of nice things, but there are a few aspects I didn't like. I'll list them.
1: The game just feels like a slog, like everything was put in to make it take as long as possible. Also we need to be able to pick up some more of the stations without a land claim block, like the drying rack, and advanced campfire if its not pickupable. I tried the food prep table, but it just destroyed when I tried to pick it up. Tried to hit it like a campfire.
2: FAR FAR too much redundant unneeded clutter like the logs->log scraps->wood -> sticks thing, its really unnesscary to have 4 diff types (or more) of wood. Same for stone arrowheads, it just seems redundant.
3: The zombies.. why the hell are they now super tanky bullet sponges? Even on nomad it takes forever to kill them, On nomad they take longer to kill than on survival or insane in the base game. The zombies having so much hp, is one of the main reasons I dislike the mod. This coupled with their stupidly high spawn rate in v4.2 which was the version I played.
4: The repair kits for all diff types of weapons gotta go, its bad enough the zombies take for frigging ever to kill with headshots, but now you add in some overly convoluted repair system as well on top? I am sure its not a problem mid game, but early game, it just makes it far to much of a slog.
5: The UI lag, I know this is more a base game issue but, I think the recipie list needs to be edited to remove alot of the redundant things. Examples: stone arrow heads, sticks, etc.
6: The whole clean/dirty system is also just a pain in the ■■■■. In a new game I spawned no where near any water, so I was pretty much screwed as I didn't have the mats being freshly started to make towels etc.
Other than those issues I rather liked what I seen. I'll give it a shot again when 4.3 comes out, from what I seen the spawn rate is being toned down to a lower level.

Hi!
I just thought I would respond to this because I agree with a few points as far as my personal gaming preferences go, so I made a few xml edits to fit how I like to play.
It is, of course, important to voice these concerns, but here are a few things that may help you move past them if the dev team disagrees with these design suggestions.
1. I don't have a solution for this. This is something to get used to, it's how Ravenhearst is. Try and get in the mindset of different progression. It can be a struggle, but see my answer to 3 for a trickle-down solution that may help with resources.
2. Again with how Ravenhearst is, it also opens up a ton of future crafting options. I love the logs for fuel purposes. It does take a little to get used to.
3. Ok so this is a big point here, I personally HATE tanky zombies. It breaks immersion for me completely. So what I did was a minor xml edit to clean this up. In "items.xml" I did a search and replace for
DamageBonus.head" value="
with
DamageBonus.head" value="1
then
DamageBonus.head" value="11
with
DamageBonus.head" value="2
(so you don't have stuff at x117 head damage etc)
This will basically add an additional x10 entity damage to head shots. It knocks the zombie difficulty down a ton and increases the pace considerably. I also play with my wife and her friend and they don't care for the insane zombie difficulty.
This is a major difficulty drop, but in a way that, for me personally, increases the fun factor considerably.
4: The adjustment to 3 makes this issue wash out for the most part. I personally like it, but if it really bothers you editing
<property name="RepairTools" value="clubrepairKit"/>
with like
<property name="RepairTools" value="wood"/>
can remove the kits for key starting items, etc.
5: This one sucks. Quick workaround in the meantime is to use the favorites system. You'll just have to click favorites when you log on or are done crafting. Not a real fix, but may help for now.
6: Yeah, this one is a struggle with no water source. I don't really have any suggestions there :]
Hope this helps!
It sounds like you might want to tweak your game a little. Try the head shot damage thing, it may do it for you. You may want to use half the value too.
Good luck!

the mod isn't for everyone, we've always stated that
zombies are nowhere near the bullet sponges they had been on v3 though, especially with the wilderness hives dying in 1-3 hits with starting weapons on warrior. fills up the world without every zombie being tanky. avoiding what you can early on is usually best.
there will indeed be a "casual mode" included in 4.3, as well as a "hell on earth" version.
people will just have to run them off of the .exe in the mod folder after installed, and not the launcher.

Honestly the only real issue I have, that really bothers me is how tanky most zombies are. I can deal with the rest easly enough, but zombies taking like 6+ headshots on nomad diffculty is a little nuts.the mod isn't for everyone, we've always stated that
zombies are nowhere near the bullet sponges they had been on v3 though, especially with the wilderness hives dying in 1-3 hits with starting weapons on warrior. fills up the world without every zombie being tanky. avoiding what you can early on is usually best.

turn down difficulty level or play casual, whining about it generally speaking wont change nothing. Make a list, name the zombies you are having issues with, in a more constructive way may get further here.

Traders cant die. They Are protected. The buildings arent and zombies can get inside but a trader won't die to them. What you are seeing is Khaines Destroyed Trader. There's a chance for a working trader and Destroyed Trader. It's just bad RNG as working traders are slightly more likely in cities.
