[Fixed - persists in 3.60beta-hotfix3] Pawboards not so good for trading now?

[Tom H]

I'm finding a lot of villagers that tell me their village 'has enough' pawboards, even though I've never before traded them there. In fact, I've only been able to trade away ONE pawboard, in exchange for a loop snare.

I'm just wondering if they are worth making anymore since the villages don't seem to want them and I have no use for 20 such?

I've noticed this too. It says in news.txt that  villagers are less interested int hem now, but it is surprising that the cap is 0 fox traps in most villages

- balanced: villagers' interest to buy paw-board fox traps

         Trading paw-board fox traps could be used an exploit as villagers did buy them without any reasoning.
         Now there's a cap for villagers' interest in paw-board fox trap.

I haven't paid too much attention to this but the rule is that if there are no paw-board traps in the village, or on any of the village members, they should accept them - at least one.
It's a possibility that this is bugged. Will check.

Wondering how many of the village hunters spawned with a pawboard of there own?

I can't give a ratio of how common it is, possibly also depends on the culture, but nevertheless paw-boards can be created as villagers personal belongings.

Been checking this out now, and starting to feel it's bugged as I've (also) met villages who don't accept paw-board although they have none stored and none on NPCs inventories.
The thread is moved to bug reports now.

Bugged it was. "How many traps we have" checks failed by assuming other types of tools as traps. Fixed now.
