Town requires wood to grow, but has no sawmill?

[max_bolly]

I'm currently playing on the server where the goal is to make your town reach 4000 pop. Now the town requires wood to grow, but there's no sawmill very close to the town. There are two sawmills 20-30 squares from the town, one of which is named after the town. Delivering woods to those sawmills doesn't count, evidently.

Known problem, or am I just being a bit thick here?

Could it be that I've built too much roads around the town, so they can't find a suitable place to build a sawmill close enough?

Yeah that´s the reason! The town will try to build the needed sawmill if it´s enough place around. 2nd possibillity: you can build your station next to another sawmill because the main reason to catch the wood is that station is connected to your claimed town (you can check it by the station name - claimed town should be included while creating).
