final question are there a certain type of barn that's needed to store them I got a box once and it was never stored.
I have the small medieval barn 2.04 and the <abbr title="Colonial Charter">cc</abbr> largest market center
They won't put it straight into the market. Assuming you're using 1.0.7, the Small Medieval Barn will only store it if you're using the Compatibility mod. All of the general purpose barns should store it, as well as the specialized "Misc Small Barn" from <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>.
Thank you, what is the compatibility mod? That must be the issue,
