This is very clearly a very reproducible bug that is triggered by requesting very heavy items, with grazing animals (and a couple of different ores) being the heaviest items. There have been plenty of times when I didn't buy very much in the first year, but didn't request any animals, and so got a decent caravan. And I'm 100% sure I didn't accidentally steal anything from them. And I bought it all with a broker who had NO social skills at all, thus a 3 to 2 trade was the best I could do, so I gave them lots of profit on the deal. And as I already said, I bought LOTS of stuff the first time the caravan came, namely ALL the food, booze, empty barrels, seeds, leather, and empty bags. (Or at least, every time I request big animals like cows.) It never happens when I don't request animals. This happens every single time I request animals from the dwarven caravan. made it clear that it was searching for cryptocurrency tax evaders: The agency sent a broad request to Coinbase, the largest Bitcoin exchange in the United. The first time the dwarven caravan came, I traded a bunch of green glass corkscrews in exchange for all the food, booze, empty barrels, seeds, leather, and empty bags that the caravan had. I think it says on Dwarf Fortress Wiki that the amount of profits influences the contents of the next year's caravan. When this insanely lightly loaded caravan with no food or booze came, I was completely out of booze. I think it says on Dwarf Fortress wiki that caravans bring more food and booze than usual if your stocks are low, as long as it has enough room in the weight limit to do so. I think caravans usually carry about 10,000 or 20,000 worth of goods and are within 1000 of the weight limit (sometimes within 100 of the weight limit). It was more than 4000 under the weight limit! The total value of the goods it carried was only a couple thousand (after doubling the price due to highest-priority requests for those items). The next year, the caravan brought me 2 cows, 1 steel bar, 1 pig iron bar, 1 piece of marble (but none of the other type of flux stone), 1 male dog and 1 female dog. I also requested plump helmets at the highest priority, bulls at medium priority, all types of booze at medium priority, and many types of meat and leather at low priority. The first time the caravan came, I requested steel, pig iron, 2 kinds of flux stone, cows, and male and female dogs, all at the highest priority. I'm not sure this is a bug, but I once had a dwarven caravan that was absolutely pathetic.
