I'm glad to help you @Necora and @Ketchup and thank you too.I am sending you new photos about reeds, water and flowers, maybe something will help.[img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" /> you

I am like despo20, I like production chains that aren't too simple. I prefer a more complex/sophisticated production chain as a game challenge over the methods used in some other city builder games (where the challenge is to reach x number of population or build x number of houses etc. etc. so that you can unlock the next level or some special building).

I completely understand <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/9529-queryeverything/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="9529" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/9529-queryeverything/">@QueryEverything</a>'s desire not to have every building need thatch because it makes it more difficult at game start but I have a different approach in that I'm using tents provided by various mods for early game housing. I don't know how to strike a balance between these two different approaches to early game while using the thatch resource except for perhaps having some really simple housing in your mod e.g crude huts that use grass or reeds. Then the player can at least provide housing for the citizens while collecting enough thatch to make the more complex homes.

Like QueryEverything I too saw that little watermill and thought "I'd love that in game" so <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/12323-despo20/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="12323" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/12323-despo20/">@despo20</a> if that's going to be a new project for you, I'll add my "yes" vote for it!

I do like that mill. I have a few mills on the go at the moment, nothing quite that small though. I was tempted to make one for the pine set but just don't have the time. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/12323-despo20/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="12323" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/12323-despo20/">@despo20</a> if you're gonna do that one... how about make it small and compatible with the new river decoration set... it would be really cool to have a mill for that set! If it was made to sit in a -0.25m or -0.50m setting, you could style a mill pond behind it and have it empty eventually into a stream or river.

Maybe have some placement tiles, but the part over the water (about 3/4 of it) could be ghosted, so it can be placed on any surface, like the dock pieces. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />

The sentiments towards the thatch production chain seem to be universally positive, so I'll get working on that [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />.

You are absolutely welcome to use it ofcourse! You will need some files from my mod to get the thatch to work, so let me know when you're ready for it [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" title=";)" width="20" />.

I quite like the fact that Banished doesn't have any of these 'artificial' progression steps indeed. I also agree with you that there needs to be some solution for housing in the early game. Some cheap housing options that do not require thatch is a good idea, and so far I haven't been able to think of any other way to solve this. I'm not sure if my skills in designing houses will be good enough for this, but I will make an attempt.

@Bartender @despo20. Thatch - roof cover made of straw or reed on high roofs. Currently he is experiencing the renaissance in regional construction (inns) as well as in residential construction.New photos: reeds from australia, houses, bower ,wells from thatch, log houses, tub[img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />
