Smoother Soroborean Travel

Improves the transparency and usage of Soroborean Caravaneer's fast travel feature while retaining the system similar to vanilla Outward. This mod tweaks the RNG of these caravan options so that options doesn't repeat, AND it also gives forecasting of the next caravan allowing you to plan your journey. All without making foot-travel obsolete.

Hope you enjoy!:D

Feedback

If you want to send me feedback feel free to drop by Outward's Modding Discord server, or the official Outward Discord. On the Outward Modding Discord server I have my own workshop channel, johbenji-workshop, so that's probably the best place to have a conversation. I also have a youtube channel if you wanna get into contact there (

Information

• Caravaneers in Cierzo/Berg/Monsoon/New Sirocco/Levant: functions the same as vanilla by providing travels only to Harmattan. (exactly the same as vanilla Outward)
• Caravaneers in the wild: functions the same as vanilla but it __never__ repeats cities (rather it cycles between them*).
• Caravaneers in Harmattan: Same as vanilla but...
• It __never__ repeats cities (rather it cycles between them*).
• It shows the current travel destination, and it also __gives a forecast of the next travel destination__ that happens after the 3-day reset.

See the images below for examples.

Regarding the caravan cycle(*): Every character has a unique string to identify them, I use this to randomly shuffle the initial order of the fast travel destination available at each location on day 1. Then I move through that looping list to get the destination for the current day. This way it feels random but there is a pattern that you can take advantage off for both Wild Caravans and the Caravaneer in Harmattan.
