-- decoration and building material
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- * includes a wagon wheel that can be used as decoration on walls or to build (stationary) wagons
-- * dirt road - those are more natural in small old villages than cobble roads
-- * loam - no, old buildings are usually not built out of clay; loam was used
-- * straw - useful material for roofs
-- * glass pane - an improvement compared to fence posts as windows :-)
