It's because storymode module hasn't been updated yet. That module refers to the main quest only, from what I know, so it's fine - everything is working as designed right now.
Early access isn't an excuse for everything, especially since that the game is lacking even it's core features.
Because instead of getting any actual content, which in some cases is already in game, but only commented out, we are getting bug fixes for non-existent bugs put into patch notes just to make them bigger.

What caused the problem and how was it fixed?
This math is completely flawed and I refuse to believe that you actually believe what you wrote. The fact that 1 caravan, on average, gets destroyed per day doesn't make your caravan have a 99% chance of survival each day. There's so many more factors in play here, location, caravan guards, ongoing wars, looters and bandits scaling progressively with passing time. So far I'm disappointed with the direction of this EA development. You keep "fixing" issues, without addressing their ACTUAL cause. There is nothing wrong with players having a lot of money. Cutting down on all money sources is making the game an incredible grindfest. You know what's the real problem? Lack of late-game content on which the players could spend their money. Honestly, just stop bull****ting everyone, this prolonged skill gain and reduced money gain serves only to hide the lack of working character progression (most perks don't work) or pretty much non-existent kingdom management.
After a year bandit/looter groups get big enough to take on any caravan in-game, including NPC caravans which leads to an economic collapse. When will you finally address the real issue here, which is the lack of late-game content on which we could spend our money and not the abundance of player's money?
Or perhaps I realised that talking to capitalist apologists is a pointless, but amusing way to spend time.
I can, but I don't care enough to sperg out on an internet khuzait basket weaving forum.
