Log storage

12 votes

I've been having trouble with clearing enough land to build on. I have used the starting settings to reduce the number of trees but I still have to build more then 5 storage units just for logs in the early game. Could there be a log pile designation or a camp that's about the same size as a housing block maybe?

Yeah, I'd love to be able to construct a cheap Log Pile that can only take in Wood, taking up a huge footprint of land (20x30, 25x35 or even 40x50), with a proportionally huge storage capacity, and not costing that many resources to construct, so that I can quickly de-forest those parts of my island that I want to build in.

Having to store Wood in expensive-to-build Unit Storages is not good, given the dual motive of wanting Wood as a production material but also just wanting Trees in certain areas to GO AWAY! Unit Storages make more sense for relatively more fragile items like Construction Parts, Metal Plates and so forth.

Changing Wood to be its own 4th storage category would also go well with giving Wood-carrying trucks their own graphical look, instead of the "generic red container box" they use now.
