Can confirm, this is busted. You don't even need to bring the shine to them, they usually just run off, find it themselves, and then drop all of their goods in whatever room you were keeping the chemshine in.

Main reason for putting the chemshine in a specific area is that the muffalos have a habbit of exploding when they die while drunk on chemshine, I didnt want a fire in my freezer after all. :)

One additional note.. If the caravan is purely using muffalos they will leave once you "liberated" all their goods but leave behind the drunk muffalos, so you'll either have to wait for them to die 'naturally' (you lose rep points if you attack em) or get rid of your chemshine (selling works 100%, dunno if hiding it far away works) in which case the muffalos will leave on their own.

Ahh, didn't know that. I've just been having my colonists take it somewhere else after the muffalo drops for the first time, before he can get seconds.

Yep, this happened to me too, it was very annoying, also because the caravan decided not to leave since they were waiting for their drunk muffalos to wake up. I suggest that muffalos don't ignore zones and doors if they want to get at your chemshine, everything about this mod is loads of fun aside from this muffalo nonsense. Busted, as Breb says.

Hahah. This used to be possible in the game originally. It went along with chickens hopped up on luciferium. Patched out for obvious reasons, but I'm guessing it was put back in as a nod to the good ol' days of drunk muffalos spilling their goods and murderous chickens.

same problem, i can't set area restriction to caravan animal and the muffaols always run straight to my chemshine no matter where i store it.

I agree. It's just silly that you can take anything from a caravan now even without trying to do so! It's unlimited wealth and breaks immersion.

This is completely broken if it has not been fixed yet. I hope these mod-devs try to balance and fix these things.
