2x Finesmith
4x Intermediate Papermill
2x Lettersmith
4x Advanced Papermill
2x Ornamentalsmith
1x Bookbinder
= 19 buildings
19 extra spaces is a lot to find and keep organised (ie not just scattered anywhere like my wells usually are) if it does come to that.
The upgrades for geologists could be a expanded a bit more, along with some adjustments. For example, I tend to send out the same number of geologists that I need to find depleted mines, the bonus to find two deposits would be a complete waste of time for me, something which halved the time taken to search would be better.
This system could be used to add in the unused features which got removed before, ie searching for granite/exotic wood if you spend enough on research to open these options up.
