Part of some of my experiments in making playable human civilizations, the purpose of this mod is to provide you with a wider range of building materials. It adds three potential building materials: thatch, clay, and ceramics.

One block of plant fiber thatch can be made at the Thatcher's Workshop from five units of plant fiber thread. It is intended to serve as a supplemental building material for those who do not want to use stone and have a limited supply of wood. The Thatcher's Workshop requires no particular enabled labors to build, but making thatch requires the Plant Processing labor.

Clay has been significantly modified from its vanilla incarnation. Clay is now a stone type that can be found as large pockets in any soil layer with "clay" in the name. Clay can be worked and built with just like any other stone.

In addition to the ordinary sun-dried clay described above, clay finished goods, furniture, and blocks can be fired at the kiln to make ceramics, which doubles their value.

The mod is compatible with DF version 0.31.04+, and should be compatible with any mod that does not modify the entities or soil types.
