Not sure how helpful or useful this is, but I have put away all of my resourse producers except one of each. EXCEPT for the Lumber Mill. I currently have 6 lumber mills cranking out boards. Here is why:

I have no stores that use boards. All my stores use either Carved Stone or Food (I have the occasional store that uses wood or fur, just for variety - can't bare the idea of ONLY having scooter stores). However, there are a few times during the month when boards sell for more than the purchase price of carved stone. It is at this time that I unload all of the boards I have built up.

I'm sure in the larger scheme of things, it really doesn't make that much of a difference, but it makes me feel like I am off-setting the cost of all the resources I have to buy, at least a little.
