Suggestions
I would first like to state I absolutely love this mod. All the communities add-on's to this has been amazing as well. I feel like its taken a life of its own outside of just "warhammer" lore/themed scenario's though and I wanted to make some suggestions with that in regard.

As some people have stated in comments I saw after a quick scan, playing as a Dryad is extremely difficult in mid/late game scenario's due to their inability to have their living conditions improved. Due to not being able to benefit from bed quality, bonus rest gain and comfort boosts for example is an issue. Simple fix: Allow artist or craft skill to give all of the dryad runes a quality of awful to legendary, and each rune gets a specific bonus based on that quality such as beauty, bonus craft speed, or increased rest and comfort gain!

A second suggestion is purely because Ideology is a thing - allow them to eat anything like a normal human, but make the ideology/memes they select dictate their diet. With options such as Cannibalism, Vegan (VE), Meat Eating, Fish Eating (VE), Fungus, Bug Meat, etc, player's should have an option for the races diet for their own specific scenario's and stories. I even downloaded the add-on to make dryads more pacifist by removing the need for organs to make more of their own, AND used the vegan meme, only to find they still need meat and are completely unable to eat berries or the like still. And now they starve. Sad times.

Third, please let revenants haul. They don't even need to be that GOOD at it - give them a low carry weight, but its just having the option to make your own haul-bots is nice. All the tech mods have some kinda easy mass-deployed haul/cleaning droids or bots of some kind they can easily research - but a nature based colony does not have that luxury of certainty. You get what Randy sends your way thats tamable, and hope its good, if he ever sends you anything at all, you know?

And lastly, would you ever consider making more furniture or structure options for them? Like a "wildl" wood wall, vine-style prison bars, tree trunk style pillars, or maybe some kinda wood flooring that looks like roots entwined like a woven pattern for walking? This isn't a suggestion - its just a very hopeful fan question. xD

Thats my 3 cents and a potato. Keep up the good stuff friend, regardless if you take these suggestions to heart or not. Still love the content, just gotta dev-edit my memes to be a bit more meat-loving for now. Heh.
