New building type 'caravanserai'

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

I would like the ability to specify that a building is a caravanserai. I know that it is a form of accommodation but a rather specific one which I feel none of the current options represent enough. And since this is probably a very common accommodation in fantasy settings with arid environments like i.e. the middle East, this should benefit lots of people.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Adding caravanserai to the dropdown menu for building types would solve this issue.   I know that this isn't very important or urgent and that there are multiple workarounds for this but it would be a nice small QOL-Update.

    It’s a decent idea, and adds more flavor.

    I agree. For those wondering , it is a hotel in the middle of a desert. It is basically the only building for miles like how forts in America were.

    My Tavern Challenge entry was a Caravanserai. (Though not 100% authentic.)

    Ditto what PhntmDrgn and A Thundering Skeleton said. Thanks for this suggestion, Tengwean. I'm excited to add these to my worlds now.

    I didn’t know what this was, so I Googled it. I am so glad that I did. I will now be using them in my world. Solve several issues I had.

    I think this is a nice idea that would add flavour to certain worlds.

    While some people downvote just because they don't know how to use Google, this is a great a choice and I'll help add more points for the caravanserai. I may not use it, but who knows. I do have a few desert regions that might have roadside inns! ;)

    I'm giving full support even if I'll probably never use this type, simply because someone apparently decided to give negative support because they don't know how to use Google.

    What is a 'caravanserai'? Please clarify because I've never heard of it.
