Before building a trading hall

  1. Decide what type of supplies you need, then search for the corresponding profession.
  2. Place an accessible job site block near an eligible villager. Keep pathways clear and verify the correct villager claims it.
  3. Check the actual trades before committing to a permanent setup. Do not assume every villager offers identical items.
