Help With Hay

Loving the game so far. Still a bit of a noob at around 50-60 hours of play.

I have started my second real playtrhough. You know... the one where you are happy with how things are starting and can see a 50+ hour build hiding in there somewhere.

I have plenty of wood, line stone and iron .... but ZERO hay. My starting package allowed me to build 9 beds from the available hay and I jave used hay for nothing else.

I have no more hay and people are still needing rescue / a place to stay. I am currently hot banking and running two different sleep shifts tl accommodate, but eventually this will not be effective.

Have only had one merchant appear and did not have much to trade at that time.

Any suggestions? Is there anyway I can edit a text file somewhere to add flax as a resource for building beds?

Are there any mods that extend resource options for bed building? I know eventually traders can come and I can offload some weapons or clothing in exchange for hay ... but at the moment it kind of sucks.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.
