Settlement Survival/Living materials

Living materials consists mostly of clothing and other utility items that citizens can use to improve their productivity.

Clothing
Clothing is used to offer resistance to the cold during winter months. This allows citizens to spend more time outdoors working, and less time indoors trying to get warm, thus improving work efficiency during winter.

Backpacks
Backpacks improve citizens' carrying capacity, and thus improving work efficiency. Handcarts in particular can offer a large bonus to the citizens' inventory, making it especially useful for citizens moving large quantities of items between storehouses and marketplaces.

Shoes
Shoes provide an inherent speed benefit, allowing citizens to walk at an increased pace. It also improves the health of citizens by reducing the chances of ankle sprains, which citizens must heal at the clinic for.

Tools
Tools are a required element to work efficiently. A task performed by a worker lacking a tool takes a large work efficiency penalty, requiring them a large amount of time to produce even a small amount of resources. This can result in a critical loss of resources, potentially shutting down other key services of the town.
