I've played them a bit now and I got roped into a beginners error. Turns out the rope booth needs rubber and the rubber tree cutter house needs rope. I did escape by dismantling a stone workshop and getting back the key rubber ware. Lost that game anyways due to other mistakes of mine... So tip for Amazons build a rope weaver's home right away! --

At least build it before you spent all the rubber

Yes the Amazons give you just enough rope to hang yourself. ; - ) Speaking of rubber. Man that is always the one that runs out. Too much balsa and not enough rubber. It's enough to make one end up in a rubber room. ; - ) Anyone need any balsa wood? Anyone? It's free, as much as you want. --

You might want to fiddle with the economy settings for balsa. Standard settings probably need some optimizing. The demand changes over the game time however, so for Amazons I find the economy settings important. Just for info: the economy settings are not influencing the cutter but the plantation.

Thanks for the tip, did not realize I had any control over it. Hmm, I got the game running and I don't understand it. 20 balsa, 40 ironwood, 30 rubber are the targets 269, 14, 0 are the amounts in storage respectively. I don't see how lowering balsa would help it's already 240 over! Edited: 2021-06-23, 23:19

If the numbers are like this there should be no Balsa Trees getting planted. If otherwise this is a bug and I would be happy about a savegame and or replay

Oh dear. I checked all 7 plantations carefully and several do have freshly planted balsa saplings and poles. The plantation nearest the HQ has a sizeable "wild" population of balsa that seems to have grown by itself (outside the planters range as well as the cutters) also but I figure that's normal. I guess I'd better send a savegame of the latest turn! --
