Buying Wood
« on: August 30, 2006, 01:16:00 am »
I'm wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to buy wood at the start of Dwarf mode or VIA Caravan?
It would be really helpful on locations with no trees, otherwise I have to wait for my Tower-Cap mushrooms to grown...

You dont necessarilly need wood ALL the time... Engrave your fortress floors, build statues, and make everything as high a quality as possible, and your dwarves will be "Ecstatic" even without a bed to sleep on.  ;)

However, the ability to purchase resources from trade caravans would be a very much appreciated.

Just make sure you don't ask the elves for wood. ;-)

Idea seconded. Humans seem like they would be ideal to carry it.
