Big ships made out of oak & cedar . . .

[Cohenworrior 17]

How about giving bigger ships with all keels and masts out of oak and hull and deck planks made entirely out of cedar having a higher chance of being rare upon completion or when improving?

 

It would encourage players to plant more oak and cedar.

 

And historically we have the royal woods where the oaks for the future navy were planted.

In fact, wooden item building by wood type in Wurm does not work this way. It may seem counter immersive, but the last wooden bit added to an unfinished item determines the wood type. So, from a single oaken log,  one can finish 120 oaken caravels when using pegs.

And now they can be useful.

I suggest adding this especially for the bigger ships. There's no conflict with the wood mechanic as it is now.
