...and isn't this topic about natural resources?
Helicopters, siege machines etc. seems kind of misplaced...

how about a way to make plastic
and a way to make paper, like for paper plates and stuff
and decoraton for houses, like paint, pictures, rugs, etc. (the pictures and rugs could just have a simple descripton, like "finely made, looks expensive," or "looks crappy and cheap")
and vases for flowers
and glasses and goblets to drink out of
is there platinum in the game?
and there should be dust or dirt as a resource, it builds up in your house then you would need to use the broom to get rid of it


Somehow we need to make precious metals and gems more valuable because at this point there is no real reason to have them.


Is there a real reason to have jewelry and gems in real life? Not really, IMO, but we buy it anyway.
Oh, and you need diamonds to make drills in-game, don't you? So there's one reason to have them.

No. "Resource Request" being Resource Department requests, not natural resources :P

In this topic, tools, resources, buildings, etc should be here. NOT new features.

We're researching how Plastic can be made in real life, so we can have it in game.

House decorations have been discussed in another topic.

Forum, yes. This is a topic :P

Those other requests should have their own little post somewhere in the wild. This topic is here just for quick suggestions that can be added with whatever programming that already exists to enhance the game. And, it's easier with those such things all in one spot :)

Is there already Bamboo in some places?
Bamboo would be nice, it could be used as a building product and as food. (Yes you can eat bamboo, more specifically the shoot)

I don't believe so, but I'll look into getting Bamboo into the game. Seems like a useful resource (Because it could be used for a boat as well, therefore creating an interesting new land with bamboo instead of wood or timber)

And bamboo spears, or walking sticks, or ninja attack sticks, or bamboo houses, or...

Since water has been implemented already, and pumps exist, bamboo could be the next item in that natural progression.....plumbing. Bamboo can be fashioned into a useful pipe. The pipe can then be assembled to carry the water to some yet to be determined location for a yet to be determined purpose. Maybe a fountain in the center of town.

Polearms!!! Good idea!!!
Spears
Pikes
Halberds
Glaives
the weapons of Ancient/Medieval warfare that were always taken into battle. They had the longest reach, and multiple ranks could spear there foe at the same time! The most important wepon after the sword. How did jos forget about it!

Weapons are in the process of being retrofitted, I'm sure you'll all be more than happy with the selection of weapons when it's done.

As for salt in more locations, it isn't going to happen. They're in places like it is now to encourage trade between civilizations (Ie: Expand the economy). If salt were more accessable, it would become a worthless product.

As for soap and silverwear... what would they be used for?

Rp'ing, just like the furniture is. My char's bodies are getting really stinky, and ever try to hold a dinner party where all the guests are eating with their fingers? Okay, maybe it's not needed, but a cup to hold water for drinking would be nice. If in fact our chars needed the water to survive, just like food. Or even not. Would be nice to hand somone a glass of water sometimes.
