I have practiced now Here comes a Tailor. The name is for now. I can change later.

Time for Coffee and Cake break.

Hmmm maybe a "Fabricator" for the toolmaker building?

The buildings all look good!

[Abandoned]

I like smith and tailor buildings, very nice    Maybe Fabricator for tailor - fabric, fabricator    Smith, hmmm  Metalicator 

Who says we have to make spell checker happy

The tailor building is very nice, Kid.  Regarding the mod being more fantasy than science fiction, I prefer science fiction. Or, just the future on a new planet.  I'm fine with names of work buildings being the regular names.  Maybe the smith could be "tool manufacturer", and the tailor could be "Garment production".  I would just call the hospital something like "Medical Care", or "Health clinic".  It is easier for players to have names of buildings be easy to understand, especially those whose native languages are not English.

I agree with that, Granny, but I also want something that differs from ordinary names.
Fantasy with a space theme.

[galensgranny]

Maybe for the tool maker it could be "implement fabricator"  or "implement fabrication".  "Garb creator" for the tailor?  "Wholeness Center" for the hospital?

Hi Granny. Thanks for the suggestions

Here I come with my idea of a new material that started in the prelude story.
I decided (after long thinking and testing) to make a Wood Alloy.
Yes, before you say anything. I know it is impossible. But in the future

So - a new material. To make it you only need logs. A lot of them.
I have a Mud Works that digs for soil minerals and fuses them into the logs.
Logs in - Wood Alloy out.
The Mud Works can be upgraded to a Mineral Plant (fancy building)
which is both cheaper and faster. But it costs Wood Alloy and Glass.
The Mud Works also makes Glass from the soil.
Logs in - Glass out.

Oh, do you like grass on the ground? I am testing now. See picture

edit - The Mud Works is almost free to build. It costs no resources, just work.

@galensgranny

Implements Fabricator are far too long to have on an icon or in the menu.
I could have Tools Fabricator in the menu and only Tools on the icon.
I like Fabricator.

How about 'Metal Shaper" for the tools building?

[kid1293]

Metal Shaper sounds good, but I want that Fabricator

- Fabricator reminds me of Morrowind's Fabricants. Metal monsters.

Find something for the tailor. Tailor sounds like 1800-something.
It is a long time before I have got the pieces together.

[galensgranny]

I do like that grass, Kid.     Wood Alloy is good future material.  But, what does it get used for?  Is it replacing iron for tools?

Another suggestion for the tailor is the word, "clothier".  It is real word meaning one who makes or sells clothing.

[kid1293]

Wood Alloy is (to be) a material made of Wood and Minerals.
It will be used for construction. ALL buildings will need it.
Except for the starter survival pods and the first Mud Works.
They are there so you can survive the first years. Free to build.

I found that I was already having the main material (soil) for
making glass. I added glass to all buildings and domes.

[River]

Maybe it's me but "fabricator" sounds like a good name for the Tailor, you know, FABRICator. Just me. Shaper for the tools. etc.

[kid1293]

  It is different to me.
Here in Sweden 'fabrik' means factory. (comes from the word fabricate)
I associate it with heavier production.

[galensgranny]

Kid, the term fabricator is the same in English, used regarding putting together components to make items such as in a factory. It also is commonly used for making various items out of metals.
