incidentally, since there will always be a finite number of "free range" citizens to do the grunt work, having them available to do that work might ITSELF be a resource that can be bartered and traded. For instance, if I wanted to build this big temple to some god this year, I might pay the other Players resources I have stockpiled to not build things this turn, so that the workers will spend more time on my project. Districts with Founding Family members who are unhappy might jump at the chance for them to "take a vacation" one year and get in some much needed socializing and general R&R.
could you 'kidnap' them? ie. lock the gates while they are in, have em build something, then release?
You can in your copy. But remember you are only doing a blue print. The actual result of your progress in you blue print game may not be completed in TimelessBob's "real" game. Think of all the "fun" that can happen. Maybe that free loader wood cutter dies from a cave-in falling log early. Your blue print relied on that wood cutter's service, but it's gone in the "real" game which delays laying down the crucial building because the tree is still there, so a delay in your blue print. Or something like that.
That's why I can't quite rely on the miner being available until I buy the items to at least be self-sufficient in terms of digging.
Although Shofet and Sanctume have a trade pact in place where Shofet provides blocks, and I provide some food and beds.
I plan to pursue Carpenter. I am offering up to *SUPERIOR* quality beds in exchange to your extra logs while I use this time to practice my carpenter skills.
In "real game" I can see TimelessBob building my Carpenter Workshop order 30 beds. I'd have a wood stockpile, and the free-loader haulers will mostly like use up the logs nearest my district in the west, and then gather more logs from other districts. I don't know how he will control not sharing logs between all other 20 districts.
Unless Wood hauling is disabled for all, and only enabled to those confined within it's district. But 1 free loader hauler with
out Wood Hauling labor will just randomly pick up logs and drop off to nearest wood pile.
