Seriously cant build carpenter workshop
Send this thing back to beta where it belongs!! I have lumber, I am trying to build a lumber farm or lumber mill. As I understand it I need one of these so that I can THEN FINALLY build a carpenters workshop.

But there is NO way to do it. And the encyclopedia says nothing about it, I cant even find the lumber camp or whatever the hell it is in the buildings section. So I have no idea what base building chain is required. I mean really WTF?

Does CA actually like play there game? Was it really necessary to make us have to build a building to exploit a certain resource that must be in that VERY settlement, then I take it I have to build all the things that need wood in that settlement too!!? WHY? What does this add to the game?

And I mean I have been at this for hours tired of trying to figure out how to use the freakng lumber. This is ridiculous!

You realize you need to build it in the province that produces the lumber, right?

From what I understand you have to build the specific building in the settlement with lumber that produces it. Like, with marble, you have the option of building a marble cutter in the settlement that has it. If you don't build the lumber producing building in the settlement with the resource, then you can't take advantage of it. The building is specific to that settlement and won't be able to be built anywhere else, so just destroy a building to free up a slot and it should be there. It's not like Rome II where you just need a settlement that has the resource and that's it.

its called a great foreast or somthing, and it has to be in the region that actually has the lumber.

I do realize that I need to build it in the same province as the place the lumber is. But there is no option to. I even see where the slots are color coded (the borders) It will NOT show up. The entire lumber line will not work.

I have a fur trader line working fine in my other settlement. But not the lumber. I cannot get it to show up. Either this thing is bugged (Jutes) or it is the most convoluted thing I have ever seen.

Settlement Hrefnesholt

Lumber there but no option to build the lumber line.

Yup, just opened the game and checked. Prime Forest, easily built at Hrefnesholt. That's the start of the timber line. Turn 1. Whichever of the norse factions starts there, think it's the Geats.

If you want I'll fire up the jutes. Double check, by the way -- demolition only lowers a building by 1 level now, not clears it entirely, you might be trying to build off an Artisan and not a blank slot.
