Sounds like a plan.

[10ebbor10]

Have the miners, supported by the engineer if it need be, deepen the mine to a point that the amounts of phlogiston become useful.
And with class shifts - how about drafting some peasants, letting them rise (up to a point) through the ranks?

In order for heat based phlogiston generation to be usefull, you'd need to deep quite deep. (In fact, the heat needs to be larger than what the human body can take). Air based filtration is possible, but please don't call that geothermal(because it has nothing to do with temperature).

As in drafting them into the military?

[GreatWyrmGold]

I thought pholgiston was the one that needed lots of heat to be synthesized?

And if it requires more heat than the human body can take, how was it discovered?

It needs lots of heat to be synthesized, but so does a blastforge. Also, phologiston is lighter than air, so it might come up through cracks in the rocks.

How 'bout the crater? Loads of heat down there, and we could build a dome to capture the stuff. We could, right?

When you get there, of course.

[kopout]

Provided I can start making suggestions right off I'll have max head off towards the stream looking for any thing interesting

[evilcherry]

engineer-overseer will start planning an improvement to turn the trail into a functional minimal gauge railway.

Send the phloogistonist with a peasant and a soldier to go look for the crater and search for a good path.

Month 2 Week 2

-Anson (Naturalist GWG) 
    No new species were discovered, though some more Melancholy Mango bushes were found.

-Engineer ( TopHat)
    No progress was made however, thanks to the presence of the engineer no peasants were crushed. The Building still collapsed however.

   -Geologist [Unusually talented, ...] Wer6
   -Ploghistonist [] Criptfriend
A path up towards the crater was found and explored. It's fairly high up, and the crater itself is positively gigantic.

   -Overseer [] The card
A few trees were cut down, but progress was slow.
   -Voltaist ((Heinrich)) [Ingenious, frail] Helgoland
Twiddle with thumbs
   -Overseer [Meticulous, gluton] Evilcherry
Work at the mine progress rapidly thanks to your overseeing. An ore vein is discovered, and 3 mineshafts are nearly collapsed safe for your intervention. As such, no real production leaves the site.
   -Naturalist
You manage to discover an new animal. It appears to be enormously shy, but it has striking similairities with the Novyrian mountain rabbit. It's fur is extremely valuable, and it's various body parts are reported to have medicinal benifits.

Ongoing activities
   -Fishing: 72  units of food are gathered.
   -Farming: Some more crops are planted.
((Someone gathering all suggestions in one place would be really nice. Also adding absolute numbers would be nice.))
Labratory crates are delivered by the Zeppelin, though the captain is not all that pleased by the nessesity of landing his ship on the ground.

Spoiler: Mining mechanics (click to show/hide)

Mines are made out of 2 stats,
           -The amount of ore lodes
           -Their depth
The ore lodes determine how much people can work in the mine at the same time, and what resources is produces.
Increasing the depth gives acces to more of these, but can also uncover other things, and gets more problematic the deeper you go.

[Helgoland]

The phlogistonist will make plans for building a phlogiston harvester atop the crater, while Heinrich will see how the mine could be supplied with electricity (electric lights -> less fire hazard, possibility of going deeper).
Ten peasants along with the overseer will chop wood, and the rest that isn't needed for farming/fishing/mining will help build the zeppelin dock.
The naturalists along with a soldier will continue exploring and will look into the habits of the rabbits.
When the traders arrive next time, request some trappers.
When the phlogistonist is done, he will (TOGETHER WITH THE GEOLOGIST) examine the gasses from the crack.

[TopHat]

Sounds good. Perhaps we should also have the engineer help build the dock.

Yeah, forgot 'bout that.

Agreed

I was more concerned with the upper levels of the food chain...
