Turn 42:Site:First you disband the party that was going to explore to the east and instead organize one to scout out the life temple. they take a spear, a sword, the bag of dried meats and the Fellaxe.
You have a little meeting with
Vulgaras, the
carpenter and the newly arrived
mason to discuss
defenses. You get some quotes from them regarding the time and materials needed for a trench, a pallisade and stone wall.
Stone Wall(one and a half humans height): 60 Man-turns and 160 stone.
Stone block Wall(one and a half humans height): 45 Man-turns and 60 stone blocks.
Stone Wall(human height): 40 Man-turns and 80 stone.
Stone block Wall(human height): 30 Man-turns and 40 stone blocks.
Low Stone Wall (half human height): 20 Man-turns and 20 stone.
Low Stone block Wall (half human height): 15 Man-turns and 20 stone.
Pallisade(one and a half humans height): 60 Man-turns and 60 wood
Pallisade(human height): 40 Man-turns and 40 wood
Pallisade(half human height): 20 Man-turns and 20 wood
Trench(half human deep): 30 Man-turns
Trench(human deep): 60 Man-turns
Other notes:
The mason can make 3 stone blocks a turn.
The carpenter can make wooden shovels (which will break)
Stone/stone block walls don't require any tools to make (unlike wooden structures which need one hammer per 3 workers).
Each worker digging the trench must have a shovel
Monty and one of the goblins stop the hats from escaping and are trying to get them back into their pen.
The human you sent to gather fruit and berries is attempting to knock down the fruit by throwing rocks since he cannot reach them.
South(stream):The hunting party arrives at the stream. The only animals nearby are the two ridge-backs from yesterday and some scattered hats. The yolc fills the barrel with water.
East:Gargle and his assistant come across some tear shaped green fruit in one of the bushes.

So I just did this update off memory basically. There are five pages of comments and I hope you understand I didn't want to go through them to figure out what ideas were the most popular. There was a tonne of discussion on walls and such so that's why those quotes are there. I hope this update doesn't get anyone to upset.
In case anyone wonders the reason that regular stone walls take so much stone compared to blocks is that if they aren't cut into blocks they are just piling the stones up which means the base has to get a lot bigger.
People are probabley going to say "but we didn't want tot take the fellaxe that's to risky!" If you think about it If you don't take it now it's going to be 21 turns of traveling alone until you get another shot to send a party over there so if there is an opening (i honestly don't know if there will be) you should probably be equipped to take it.
If there is a huge outcry by next update then I'll retcon it into not being taken.
Informative post.
