Commune

Communes (for want of a better name) are areas where charcoal burners coppice woods to make charcoal (the same as coal here). They also produce small amounts of ore and steel.

You will probably need a 'few' communes to provide enough coal and steel for areas such as potteries, blacksmiths and mills.

If a commune is not producing anything for 10 years is is closed and the area turns in parks

Communes can connect to transport at any point around it, not only to the gate.
