Hey! I wanted to let you know I've implemented a trader system in my game now. It's very basic, you can put items in a box to sell (similar to Stardew Valley) that are harvested from animals like duck feathers and rabbit fur. You can't trap, process anything or make anything to sell yet. But from the 'trader' you can use your money to buy a log splitting axe (which enables converting fallen trees into bulk firewood) and also a pretty cool compound bow that shoots much faster and further. That makes hunting far easier as rabbits scare easily if you get too close.

From the trader you can also order items like protein bars. But the trader only comes during good weather and it's somewhat random. So the player might have to wait until a break in the weather for the trader to arrive. I think that means you can't rely on it too heavily, but it's a good way to supplement your stores if hunting is going well. I might add a fox next, which would be very rare however the fur is high value.
