Hello, I am already in a part of the advanced game, where I want to improve some things and be able to reach tier 4, which is better, make a lot of bricks or buy bricks from merchants? I also have a problem with bait and skins, despite having several workers making leather and linen clothes, the neighbors follow me and want more and more products, is it better to also market these types of products?
If you have clay, make the bricks.
If you can’t keep up with clothing demands, you can buy it. You can also work on refining the resource chains for those items. For instance, make more farms for flax or make tier 2 hunting lodges with 4 traps for pelts.
