In experimental build 9565. It’s the first time I visited a refugee center and there is what I presume to be a shop, with three guards, and no shopkeeper. The trader is also the one who gives the ‘clear the zombie wing’ mission. Has anyone else lost their trader? Is it possible to debug spawn him in somehow?

The Free Trader merchant spawns in the lobby, not the supply room.

Huh. I could have sworn there was a un-openable metal door to that rom. How do you talk to him?

You can speak to anyone in earshot (followers included) or just yell something out loud by pressing “C”. That’ll bring up a menu with options for ya.

I really, really recommend recruiting an NPC ally and choosing the “Tell me about giving you orders” response, which leads to a fairly complete tutorial.
