Timber waiting at a Sawpit needs an Ox, trade carts use a Horse, and a Pack Station uses a Mule between settled regions. Their listed order costs are 20, 30 and 25 Regional Wealth.
Ox, Horse or Mule?: what to do next
- Check the stalled job first: a log, a Trading Post cart or a Pack Station exchange.
- Free an animal already doing that job before ordering another; check housing and workers.
- If you need another, reserve 20 Regional Wealth for an Ox, 30 for a Horse or 25 for a Mule.
Why this happens
These animals do different jobs. Buying a Horse cannot fix a Sawpit waiting for Timber; the log needs an Ox and a guide. A Mule belongs to a Pack Station exchange. First check whether the right animal is already available before spending Regional Wealth.
How to know it worked
Watch the matching delivery: a log reaches the Sawpit, a trader uses a Horse cart, or goods move through the Pack Station.
Which animal should I buy for a Sawpit?
Use an Ox. Free one that is busy, then order another at the listed Regional Wealth cost only if Timber transport remains the bottleneck.
