All over the Rutanio Island you will find these lumbermills in the middle of the desert, it suppose to give the impression that Rutanio used to be a large rainforest just like the Impiriata mainland.
Thanks for clearing this up, I wasn't entirely sure if that was the point or not.
After getting the manual industries grf, I've started a game in the Sinzia Freestate, and the S.A Breweries there. The nearby farms feed the brewery, and the produce is then transported to Groenfontijn. Let's just say I earned lots of money the first years on that.
It's a shame I can't use this with the daylength patch, cause it would add to realism.. I'll try to patch it myself to see if it works, but I doubt it since the daylength patch bumps the save game version..
