Suggestion/request to make wood-based items use "any wood."
Is it possible to make the wood based items(so pretty much everything) use "any wood" or something? I'm using Alpha Biomes and Rim of Madness - Bones, both of which adds wood-like items that can be used in place of wood. I can make Crystalline wood walls and bone short bows(and vice versa, with bone walls and crystalline bows) as well as similar items made from redwood and mushroom stalks. Right now, my current colony is in a biome that only has the Crystalline wood, and I can get bones from butchering creatures so I have plenty of that, but I have no access to regular wood outside traders, and I've yet to encounter a trader that actually has any wood for sale. Furthermore, is it possible to add mod options to disable certain types of wood-stuff from being usable for the Throwing Torch? Crystalline Wood is described in game as inflammable, as are bones, so it wouldn't make sense for them to be used in the torch recipe. If such a mod option isn't possible, then I can just forbid my pawns from using non-flammable resources when making it.

If this isn't possible to add to the mod then no worries. I'll just have to wait till a trader eventually comes along with some wood and stockpile it. For now, though, I literally can't make anything from this mod that uses wood since I have no regular wood, which is a bummer cause I wanted to make Crystalline Trebuchets and bone crossbows.

Edit: If this change could also be added to the CE compatibility patch you provided so any bolts or arrows from this mod that require wood can use the mod wood(and bones) that'd be great. This is, of course, assuming it's something that needs to be done on your end and not the CE modder's end. I already asked if they could edit wood ammunition that would be added for base game weapons. Just awaiting a response from them.
