[2024] Please add an option for Trader restock frequency.

This is one of those things where adding options for too many features just clutters up the options and makes a mess of things. You can adjust this in your own xml files quite easily, and there are a number of mods regarding this that you can simply install as well.

This is a case where the developer fully supporting modding of the game is greatly for your benefit.

Original poster actually had a great idea. What you cited as a problem would be easily fixed by having a user-selectable setting for “simple” and “advanced” settings or something similar. Relying on mods is not near as good as native game support. Mods can break with updates and/or be buggier as a result of being the work of unpaid and often unappreciated programmers.

The problem is there have been many great ideas of options to add. Should they add them all? How many pages of game options do we want?

Pretty much this. TFP looks at suggestions like these, and they have to weigh how much it will add or subtract to the overall user interface and usability. They want players to have a lot of options, but also understand that having an option for SO many things makes the interface confusing. They have discussed this topic a number of times in the developer diaries over the years and is what my original statement is based on.
