NPC cities use mud and brick for buildings.

I feel like a tag that allows civs to make their cities out of clay, mud, stone, ect would be cool. Would make more sense for desert settlements, for example.

It should depend of the environment.

I think, NPC sites must be more customizable.

And the trade routes. I think the amount of food produced to population ratio and distribution is already in game, so im may be added for other materials as well.

That’s probably a while away for now, but I think it’s an eventual idea to changr up the current structures.

Using clay should be as easy as adding a CLAY_PREF entity token (in line with STONE_PREF, GEM_PREF etc.). I imagine Bricks would be more tricky though as there are both metallic blocks, and non-metallic blocks (e.g. soap) you probably don't want houses made of.

Why would bricks be any trickier than clay boulders?  There are separate identifiers for stone, non-economic stone, clay, glass, metal, and soap already implemented.  We know this because the job manager interface has access to them.

Hum, I done-goofed. You are right it probably would be just as difficult.
