Has anyone gotten ripped off by the Rube recently? I "traded" a tinkertool for a Crystamallizing chamber and he said good deal, taking the Tinkertool... but I never got the Chamber.
Was your inventory full? I think I remember a bug like that from beta. Normally stuff that doesn't fit in your bag drops to the ground but Rube lives by his own rules...
I've had a couple of trades with him that have not had any problems.... till now, just had a trade, l clicked to accept meat collector for bubble tea BUT got a scrapper instead (not sure what if anything he took).... He also contintued to walk along the street instead of stopping while he talks to me...
Yep, he kept running away from me the last time he came for me too. He went all the way to the left edge of the map, came back, stopped for a little while next to me, then started away again. I could still talk to him, but the movement made it a bit of a chore.
Then, after I had rejected about twenty of his offers (was trying to get a cubimal) he suddenly went to someone else on the map and I got nothing. I suppose there is a limit to how many things he will offer you.
I was on my way home to eat some energy foods I had stored in my cabinet when the Rube approached me. I went through a bunch of his offers, but eventually died due to exhaustion before I ended up trading with him!
I have had the same experience. I kept asking for a new trade and he started walking away from me. When I finally agreed to a trade, I received some sauce instead of what I was supposed to receive. I couldn't tell what I gave him in return. And yes I had plenty of inventory space.
Yeah, Mr. Rube kept drifting away from me while I was talking to him. Maybe he's got a brain disease, like meningitis. But I'm imagining his nervous system is made out of wood, so perhaps it's Rubeitis? I don't know. At any rate, he needs quarantined.
I agreed to trade some sort of food item for a Meat Collector, and he gave me a 12-sided Die and took my bear. I thought I'd misread it somehow, but after reading these entries, I think there's a problem. He was walking away, too.
Yeah this happened to me too... He walked away, and then called me a Brigand and he ran off and didn't give me anything. Which makes me sad because he's such a jovial character and I only want the best for him (well not really, I want a Cubimal Box for the price of a shovel). Curse you, Rube Impersonator that must be a Rook in disguise!
Here too, today I think. the trade was something or other for a crystamalizing chamber, and i ended up with a burger of some sort, no idea what he took.
Another time recently, I was talking to him and after a couple seconds he just disappeared.
The first 5-7 times i traded with him though i got great deals and no problems
WOW! I guess I'm lucky because I traded with him 2 times today without a hitch. BUT he only gave me 5 chances to agree to a trade. Lucky for me, when I traded him a tinkertool for a fancy pick, he took one of my broken tinkertools!! (I have a few broken tinkertools because I have yet to complete Tinkering 3.) Ha-HA! Take that Rube! For stealing from all my friends!
