Standard Opening Hours

By default, all traders in the wasteland follow a strict schedule:
  • Open: 06:05
  • Close: 21:50

Area Protection

The safety of a trader station is controlled by the TraderAreaProtection setting in serverconfig.xml:
  • True (Default): The area is indestructible. Players cannot dismantle the trader’s base, and zombies cannot damage it.
  • False: The station can be destroyed. This is generally not recommended for public servers.

24/7 Traders

The game does not have a native XML setting to keep traders open at night. To achieve this, you must install a third-party mod like “Always Open Traders”.
