Lumber for construction

[ZombieDupe]

I find it odd that lumber is never a starting construction material for anything ever. Mealwood could yield part meal lice, part lumber when harvested (still less than arbor tree). You could then use lumber to build some earlier buildings that make sense to require the material like an outhouse and planter box and have wood ladders as well.

Lumber was added way late in the dev-process. At a time, when all building materials where already set for all buildings. I guess they just did not bother to add lumber to a few buildings. And it wont make sense for most of the buildings, but very few. I guess further, they just did not see the need for wooden floors or ladders.

lumber has its place in the game as a specialty material that as such only allows building of certain luxuries on certain asteroids or way later in the game if you can print an acorn. I dont rlly see the point of nullifying this for the sake of slightly more realism
