Using the Trader as a safe?
The Trader has his bubble of non-aggression. The angriest troll in the Black Forest will lose interest instantly when you enter the Traders bubble. It's a handy nerf for all kinds of trouble.
My question for today is...if I leave a cart full of goodies inside the Traders bubble, will mobs attack it, or is it safe from mob interference? I've been watching my experiment for a while now, and mobs will run through the bubble if I am outside it and will not lose aggro, but will lose it as soon as I step into the bubble. But so far none have touched my cart. Wondering if anyone groks the AI programming enough to confirm or deny.
Also, If I accidentally drop a log on Helstien, the Traders Lox, can I damage him? Will that make the Trader mad? I'm afraid to test it.

Only caveat is if the troll's aoe from its hit clips through the bubble. Trolls fight skels near some traders so it still may take damage while in there. Bubble just turns players invis but it doesnt negate damage.

You can't build inside it, so its usefulness is a bit limited to... carts.
I don't see how a cart parked there is any safer than a chest at your house, though.
Basically yes, but, I don't get it.

Yes. Everything inside the bubble is safe. I usually build a fort near it, as I would imagine most people do, but I'll also clear out as many trees/rocks/nodes nearby as possible because it's free defense. Greydwarves will stick around if you're there, but they wont mess with anything in the bubble. Wish he would sell me the plans to make those magic stones for my own shields.

I usually drop a berry for the lox and light the poor guy's fire because he doesnt leave to gather firewood lol. I dont see why you cant leave a cart inside his bubble as no one else can get inside
