Apart from traders and random containers, is there another source of wood? Like are there any piles of logs I can find in the wilderness? When speaking to a wood merchant, he told me how rich the grazelands were in hickory wood, this suggests I could find a raw source there.

Where can I find wood on Solstheim? Afaik, there is no source of wood on the island.

Are Ore veins -only- to be found in caves/underground? Are there none in the wilderness?

is it possible to 'install' a bear rug like I can with chests/barrels etc?

Also none MC related, apart from the rain particles in SWG skies, are there any other rain particle replacers?
