Trader question

[Jackthestripper]

So let's say you have a delivery ready... Wagon is full with 100 pieces, ready to go. I realize the next step is to deliver the goods, but in the meantime before you make the delivery, if you keep donating to Cripps, are those donations gone or will they stay in queue  for after you make the delivery? Would be nice to know because sometimes you'd rather wait for posse members to do a long distance delivery, and would be nice if while you were waiting you could stock up for the next one.

Providing your Materials bar (the top one) is empty or has space in it, you can continue to donate materials for the next Goods delivery (bottom bar). I think a full Materials bar equals 50 goods so you'll have to top it up as Cripps produces product to sell by doing resupply missions/buying a resupply or donating to Cripps.

If the Materials bar is full and your Goods still haven't been sold, you can no longer donate to Cripps.

you can keep donating until the donation option is grayed out regardless if its ready for a delivery-I never make a delivery until I'm fully stocked

Small tip though. Don't fill it up completely until after you've done a resupply mission, as that gives you some free materials. (Usually 5 or 20.)

You can also use a hunting wagon to store up to five large deer or more if smaller animals.   Skins in your pocket or on horse are also safe.

If the donation bar besides cripps is full then he will not accept anymore.. you can donate it but it will not go above 100.

This is what I thought. Most things will just gray out in the game when they are not an option or no longer are. I never hit it this high but I was thinking this would be the case if I ever did.

Thanks, I see it now... I didn't notice that there was a smidge of room left in the bar even though it says I have a 100 pieces ready for a delivery.  I had stopped donating once a delivery was available.

Pretty sure you can over-donate though, and lose materials - if you've gone into the donate materials option while its not grey and you keep adding from your satchel/horse/wagon it won't count them past 100% but will let you keep donating. It's only when you go back out to the trader summary screen that it will grey out the option if the bar is full. So if you're at 95% it will for instance let you donate a 3* cougar but you won't get full credit. 

When there were actual animals in this game I would stock up on all the things I could carry in my satchel to keep the bar topped off when I needed to.

This. I forgot about that. Generally take the rule of thumb that "if there's just a smidge left, only donate a smidge" so there's no waste since animals are scarce. Load up your hunting wagon and wait
