--Slate Report--

Plenty of progress was made. We now have workshop space for some workshops and a room for nest boxes. Noobazzah became a miner just over halfway through the month. On the 23rd, Peregarrett hit the caverns. They seem to mostly be twisty passages, all alike, but there is a small lake and a cave crocodile. As well as a need to rethink our central staircase.
We've also struck many ores. By ok, there's a lot of ore here!
As a final note, we have a kiln, and therefore we will soon have clay.

I might need to let the bearded runts here do metalwork after all. Anyone have some suggestions on how else I could rely on trade?
Maybe the clothing industry...

Excellent, just excellent. We struck marble, useable as flux; we also struck more ores; a basic woodworking area is being polished; and a clay-collection industry has started. Sadly, nothing truly interesting happened this month. However, as of the start of summer, there is a herd of wild boars and no cavern beasts in sight.

Geez, flux! Seriously, what restrictions can I put on myself to allow me to rely on trade while still working metal? No clothes? No forging non-steel weapons? No melting stuff? Come on, let's hear some ideas!

Call me an elf, but let's see here...  per season, one can not utilize more than 10% of the marble stone for the use of steel.  (If one gets an ugly number like 99, round down the number of stone safe to use as flux for steel.)

If that isn't enough, make 20% of the marble required in some mason jobs like tables, chairs, and statues.

If a percentage can't be done, I'd say 100 marble max for the use for steel.

Alternate idea, the dwarves could export iron bars, a nd use the marble for building =D

Order gold (or some metal that you don't have) and stud all marble furniture with it. Sell steel weapons and armor.

Sounds good! I'll do this.
