Is there a time limit on stabling a caravan? Could I say stable one for two weeks or a month rl time as long as I am willing to pay the fee when I pick it up?
just curious

G'day,
There is a cap to how high the fees will grow to so if for some reason anyone does stable an animal and then leave for an exteneded period they won't have to sell the family silver to get their caravan out of hock, so to speak.

Godrich,
In that light, any chance you can tell us the MAX charge for stable-ing a caravan?
Would be helpful, to know if the max is worth it on some occasions.

G'day,
It varies from stable to stable actually. I believe it is 30 days (same as for horse stables I believe) is the max they will charge for. So the more expensive the stable, the higher the cost.

Since the stuff in our Kreg containers will no longer transfer to and from the caravans on the mainland. I was wondering if the Shipping system could be utilized to ship items directly from our caravan or kreg to destination and have the items directly picked up by our caravan's or kreg's box (if it is empty). Because of the change. I have to get all the stuff out of my box when I travel between islands and mainland thus greatly increasing my inventory count and encumbrance. As a result I can't store as much merchandise on me to offer on tables when I travel; and as a result, the change discourages the use of various market tables in different provinces.

G'day,
Actually, I had mentioned to Ilanya when I made the decision to not allow goods to be transferred via the storage system that I will likely make a change to the shipping system to allow you to ship goods to yourself. The shipping side will almost certainly not be an automatic thing, but I'll ponder making it so that when you go to a shipping office the shipping crates could be loaded onto your kreg or caravan as appropriate assuming you are a high enough level to have a storage box and your caravan is outside. There may be some system issues that would make it more difficult than it sounds, but I'll ponder and take a look at it.
That being said, its likely to be awhile before any of it changes, even without the auto-loading stuff, since it is unlikely that I could change the code and get it approved to rollout before the scripting freeze hits. Well, I could code it probably, but QC is another matter altogether since this would go in at the end of the list.

If you can unlaod it onto yourself, Not havinga ny experience trying any oif this My first thougfht would be move it into vault then move the vault, might not be as efficient, but could help with the item count having stuff in your vault instead of on you, and then you just have to pull itout of vault and put it back in the caravan box at the other end. Just an idea for something to try till the Great Godrich can make shipping work.
