BetterTraders is a Vintage Story mod by NiclAss. BetterTraders adds varied trader buildings, including cold-climate designs, while keeping vanilla traders, behavior, and trades unchanged.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose it if familiar trader stops make world exploration feel repetitive. It suits survival players and servers wanting more natural-looking locations without altering gameplay or requiring client installation.
What BetterTraders adds
BetterTraders introduces additional structures where the familiar trader entities can appear. The new buildings vary in layout and appearance, so journeys through different regions are less likely to lead to identical-looking stops.
The original trader structures remain available rather than being replaced. Some added designs are intended for very cold climates, helping a trader location look more appropriate for the surrounding environment.
The mod changes only world-generation structures. Trader entities, their behavior, and their trades stay vanilla, making the addition suitable for servers that want visual variety without changing the trading system.
BetterTraders works server-side. New variants can appear in chunks generated after activation, while existing structures use vanilla blocks and remain in place if the mod is later removed.
