[[CDB|Main]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

==Description==
*The wagoner provides a way of sending bulk items (anything that can fit in a large or small crate) to a particular person in a semi-automated way.

*Wagoners operate a special wagon for their deliveries.  

*When making a delivery, the wagoner will drive to the collection point, load their wagon, and drive to the destination, unload the goods and then return to home camp.

*Wagoners will not start another delivery until they have gone back to their home camp. 

* The wagoner will then begin the delivery process again. 

* You may need to use multiple wagoners to efficiently move your freight

==Wagoner camp==
* Upon placing a wagoner, they will spawn a camp; this consists of some furniture, a campfire and a place to park the wagoner’s wagon when the wagoner is not on deliveries. 

* While idle, the wagoner may be found sitting at his campfire or asleep on a straw bed in their tent.

* The [[waystone]] becomes the wagoner’s ‘home’ [[waystone]], and the wagoner becomes a citizen of the deed (similar to [[traders]]).

* The camp layout can not be changed and its rotation is determined by the link it has.

==Sending items==
To set up a delivery, crates need to be placed into a [[wagoner container]] (which holds a maximum of 20 [[large crate|large crates]], 34 [[small crate|small crates]], or a combination).

* Ensure that the wagoner container is planted next to the waystone. Any [[waystone]] connected to the highway system works, it does not have to be close to a wagoner.
* This can be done by activating the container and right clicking on the [[waystone]] and clicking plant.
* Select a receiving player for the delivery; that player will receive a notification that they have a delivery pending (similar to mail notifications).  
* The recipient needs to then accept the delivery by going to any [[waystone]] and right-clicking it and selecting "Accept Delivery." 
* Once the recipient has accepted the delivery, the job will be added to the wagoner's queue, and they will start working if they are not busy.
* The sender will then immediately get an event message confirming the shipment's acceptance by the recipient.
* The wagoner will drive to the collection container, load up their wagon and transport the crates to the destination waypoint, eventually unloading the crates at the destination.
* If the recipient does not accept the delivery within a set time, the delivery will time out (and the fees refunded if appropriate).( need a timeline in here for delivery acceptance)

===Notes===
*Resizing a deed so their camp falls outside the deed boundaries will return the contract to the owner's inventory.
*Wagoners may be set to public or private availability, via their permissions (set by the owner), with options for deed and alliance members.
*You can obtain a wagoner contract from the [[silver store]] for 10 [[Bank of Wurm|silver]] coins, allowing you to place your wagoner on your deed. 
*This gives your deed (or alliance) their own wagoner to use for pickups and deliveries, which speeds up the time it takes for a delivery.
*Wagoners use the new highway system to navigate, so the origin and destination need to be connected via a network of [[waystone]]s and [[catseye]]s
*There may be a delay before the wagoner does the delivery, as will depend on how busy they are
*Delivery costs 1c per crate. And may also be set to C.O.D. (cash on delivery). Money is not credited to the sender's account until the recipient accepts.
*The sender can opt to pay the 1c/crate up front.
*20% of delivery costs (C.O.D. not included) will go to upkeep for the deed the wagoner is a citizen of.
*Contracts can cross servers as long as the wagoner is not planted.

===Requirements for a camp===

* The camp site is created by using a wagoner contract on a (dedicated) waystone, on deed.
* Wagoner's [[waystone]] must be placed around a cul-de-sac waypoint (only 1 catseye link, no waystones on the border of the camp). 
* Wagoner's [[waystone]] and its camp must be on a flat 2×2 tile deeded area (all four tile borders that touch the tile corner the [[waystone]] is planted on has to be deeded).
* Above the water level.

==Dismissal==
Wagoners can be dismissed either by the owner or when their camp falls outside of the village or their village disbands. 

In all these cases, the wagoner will: 
* Complete any current delivery they are performing. 
* Vanish and the contract will become available to be used again. 
* Pending for accept deliveries which have the wagoner assigned will be auto-rejected.

===Notes===
* Any containers that were sealed for the deliveries will stay sealed, but can be unsealed by the sender.
* Queued deliveries can be reassigned via the manage-deliveries menu if a wagoner is dismissed. Deliveries reassigned this way will not be refunded and will be carried out normally.
* Payment for delivery is taken from the recipient once they accept the delivery. From there, it is securely held at the [[waystone]] until the delivery is successfully physically made. At that time, it is then released to the sender.

==Chat options==
When you setup a wagoner camp you will get the option to set how they chat. This is also available on the contract itself.

* A maximum of one wagoner camp may be placed per waystone
* You may not select a wagoner camp as the target for a delivery
* When making a delivery, the crates are left at the delivery point, and will be sealed. Only the recipient may unseal them or load them into a vehicle
* Wagoners cannot cross server borders.
