cheap barter stand for trade at 1day

[ctopolon4]

1-2 ropes
2-4 boards
5-10 stones

1slot for trade

P.S. or cheap cloth (not shear 30 sheeps at first day to start trading)

[vatas]

Cheap cloth would enable day1 knarrs and I'm under impression that devs don't want that (they removed the ability to repeatedly shear corraled un-hitched mufflon.)

Otherwise cautious +1

Let us use hide as an alternative to cloth in barter stands.

+1 to the idea and to use hide alternative. Early trade sounds fun.

Some offline trading mechanics should be great for first days.

Little things like this are a great opportunity to introduce a new tier of cloth, crude cloth. Crude cloth could be made from dried stinging nettle fibers, cattail fibers, or taproot fibers (Taproots processed through a quern). This would allow for a new range of early game clothes, etc. It would also allow for the creation of items like this, crude barter stands that are inexpensive and, perhaps, operate like the original barter stands did to a degree.

They'd never really stop being useful for those who didn't want to faff about with the whole 'hand that gives/takes' routine. (Admittedly, I haven't messed about with the current barter stands much, so I don't know if that functionality still exists with them). I'm sure a bunch of new and interesting ideas could be created to take advantage of a new tier of cloth. This is just the first one.

As someone who trades and ran a market. This wouldn't be used that much as a market more like a store, most people that trade early want delivery and markets are alot of work to build up. however, +1 on local stores popping up be nice for travelling
