CHEAT SHEET: LOGGING OPERATIONS IN RURAL AREAS
Seeing that I'm not the only one favoring the logging industry for mountain areas, I dug in and added some more goodies to the current collection. At the same time I'm trying to give an overview of what we already have - basically the core around which we can build a very successful logging industry, and also a perfect "cheat sheet" for all who are about to start their logging operations.
Note that this list makes a Ready-to-Go "package" - if you download everything, you can immediately play - hopefully without searching for any other dependency. It contains ONLY items that are 'tagged' directly as LOGGING pieces - the concern what other sets or items 'will go nicely' with this branch of industry shall be up to the player... (except for a few small general deps, e.g. fences or railfleet etc., which are already in use on the existing pieces).
I'll be happy to add any other ready made items to this 'package' as long as they jive with these two conditions (explicit for logging, no further dependencies) - or they are a (dedicated) dependency on their own, like another Logging Props pack. So if you can think of any - gimme, gimme :-)
