Ketchup</a> thank you, much appreciated!
So the humble industries are moving in, and the pine industry is also expanding. We have a few new additions to the town...

A humble loom to fit in with the other small industries, a wood version and a nice yellow version. It produces canvas from hemp and linen from flax. That makes a loom, blacksmith, tailor, and lumber cutter so far. I cheated with the loom and the tailor by making the shack bigger and having most work done inside. I couldn't think of what to put for the tailor to work outside, that would look good, and I couldn't be bothered to make a loom (although I will probably go back and do that at some point because I think it will look cool).
I've also gone very Canadian (how could I not eh?) and added a back yard maple boiler, who will turn maple sap into maple syrup, and a back yard cider press, that turns apples + maple syrup into good old hard cider.

Our little pine forest industry community is looking pretty thriving right now!

So now a question or two for the crowd, what would you like to see added to a small forest industry set or a humble industry set like this? I'm open to suggestions. So far, I have been concentrating on a few buildings that I need for the production chains, hence the pine resource buildings, lumber cutter and the loom. I've also thrown in a blacksmith and tailor, may as well have the original vanilla industry represented here and add some variation.
I would also like to keep expanding these two styles to include a few more buildings, so figured I'd see what you all would like! I'm up for most things if they fit, and am already thinking about adding some small civics and houses at some point that continue the theme so you can have a whole town in the forest. Perhaps even give the hunter, gatherer, and forester a make over to fit too (although, there will be a 'gatherer' type building to collect specific material resources for this chain (pine boughs, pine resin, flax, possibly hemp), perhaps a food gatherer (apples, maple sap) and also a forester type building to plant specific trees for these chains too (maple... apple... pine)).
Building sizes are small shacks and coverings, and if possible things to be displayed on the outside. The idea is that anything that can fit in the forest gets 1 wood version - unless it will also look good in a town setting (like the four humble industries) in which case it also gets a nice colored version. At the moment, they are in two tool bars, one for the pine set and one for the humble industries, but I might make them all into one small industry toolbar for ease.
