Looks good.

Looks really good - might be something that would jump into my shopping basket, when I was looking the other way

Oh SUPER cool and highly usable! So many different kinds of scenes could be created with this 

TheMysteryIsThePoint

Am definitely going to snag this. Could easily be made into a retreating army's encampment.

Thank you for this!

Looks great, though the "picnic table and bench set" sticks out like a sore thumb when compared to the rest of the items.  It's way too well made, with some pretty elaborate cuts and perfectly straight edges, which is kind of glaring when it's sitting next to the rough hewn lumber and gaps between boards of the platforms and other items.

I'm not going to ask "what's cooking?" You might tell me.  

A very nice set, I'm going to have to think hard about whether to scare my bank card (again).

This set looks awesome!  I just have some questions and/or feature requests.

  Are you going to put lashings or bindiings on the towers to hold them together?

  The lids on the pots, are they seperate props or are they just hideable geometry?

  On the chains and hooks, is it possible to extend the length of the hook to raise or lower the pot?

  With the firepit, is it possible to make the barrier stones as opposed to bricks?

  I like the detail and construction of the tables and benches, is it possible to change their length?  The benches could then be used as personal chairs.

 Is it possible to retexture the ground?  For example : dirt, grass, sandy, etc.  If it is just seperate, thats fine too.

No lashings for the tower, its held together with nails. The pots, lids and tools for the fire pit are their own geometry. So can be used independently. No the chains can't be changed. They're part of the frame geometry. The ground can be hidden and there's options included to do this. I suppose you can use your own texture on it or shaders if you want to. You could change the scale of the benches in DS but there's no feature for that. It will result in the textures looking unnaturally squished.

And the cart isn't equally as well made? That's also alot of straight planks, and we'll crafted wood.

No, it's not.  Yes, the cart is better made than most other items, but look at the legs of the picnic benches.  They're four identical pieces of "A" shaped wood with perfectly matching circular cutouts at both the base and in the middle, and they're fixed to the benchseats at a canted angle.  The cart could be built with just a saw, an adze, a plane and a hammer, but to make those perfect bench leg hole cutouts would require more sophisticated tools.

They were perfectly capable of making such tables in medieval times.

Will it be possible to hide two pots and chains to have a single pot in the middle?

Will it be possible to hide the bricks and the ground under the fire?

I never said that they couldn't, just that those particular items don't mesh well visually with the cruder look of the rest.

Well, here's the answer. The shelters and the tower were made from wood gathered at the site of the camp. The table, the cart and such were things that were brought along with them. When the camp moves on, people would recover the lashings and nails and pack up onto the cart what they could, the cooking set, the table and such. The rest would be left behind as being too much to carry as its a hand drawn cart not a horse drawn cart.
This set is accurate, as David took his references from how people had set up camps. They even had fancy beds that they took along with them, but that's for another set

Medieval craftsmen knew more about working with wood tham most modern people have forgotten. The people who could make this could make a table and some benches:

They could make a spoked wheel too...

All of the above is true, but the product is called PRIMATIVE Medieval Campsite.  Everything else in the set fits that aethetic, the illustrations even show orcs rather than humans and there isn't even a tent, just two lean tos. and it seems like a really odd priorityt to carry around a well made table and bench set yet not have a way to protect it from the weather.  None of this will stop me from buying the product (it's in my cart now). but I'll swap in a table from one of my Dante78 sets that looks like more of a visual match.

See, this is your problem: don't try to understand the priorities of Orcs. Their love of eyeball stew and clubbing things comes second only to their appreciation for well made dining furniture 
I totally love this set btw @ForbiddenWhispers and the flexibility it offers... and every detail is up to your usual crazy high standard! Thank you so much for all your effort.

Thank You, that's really kind of you to say so.
