Paul, Sami already has building for villages on the
dev.plansMy comment was for the character to be able to expedite the Building start by selling them lumber.
(On the NPC section, building as activity is mentioned. Under Buildings and Construction, detoriation and fixing&repairing are mentioned)
New settlements would be nice, especially for long lived characters, and the “marriage—playable offspring” planned development branch.
And yes, it’ll be a nice update when it is released!
