Hello! I did read through several posts before making this and I saw some things already suggested but not everything so I thought I would make a place for me to collect my ideas, as well!
- Barns - definitely more animals needed. Pig, sheep, horses, chickens.
Pig: Bacon, hides
Sheep: Wool
Horses: Transport (improved harvesting at farms)
Chickens: Feathers, eggs
Salt Mines? Maybe very rare or through traders like spices. Salt would allow for curing meat, another method of making food last longer and definitely something they did throughout history. This could also provide bacon or jerky. Jerky would be good for work camps and other further away places.
Wool: Improved clothing/coats.
Feathers: Improved arrows
Bedding: Luxury item, can use wool, feathers, etc
Trading Post: More workers or something. Literally took a year for them to stock some sticks, they would bring 10 at a time.
Compost: Service area
Minimap
Ability to see what all villagers are doing at any given time to better see who is idling
Prioritize repairs on buildings
Workers use nearest root cellar or storage that allows for whatever they’re stocking. I put storage and smokehouses, tanneries etc all together beside my hunters and foragers and then they still take the stuff to store it across the town?
Things I’ve definitely seen mentioned but want to throw in my desire for: religion, government, bridges
Other suggestions: libraries, record keeper/historian, storytellers (who works at the theater?)
More professions that need schools, I think there’s 2? Some other benefit to education, maybe even a factor in upgrading houses.
Maybe this is something I just don’t understand but charcoal and coal seem to be the same category?
Thanks for looking at my idea dump lol
