Have you ever gotten to the point in your game where half your settlement-building time is spent running from merchant to merchant buying goods? This mod aims to solve this problem by allowing you to set up an actual production chain so that your settlement can produce useful building materials as you adventure.

The mod adds a total of 14 new workstations to achieve this, designed to fit the original game balance.

Suggestions for feature and balance changes are completely welcome!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
