Do we start building yet?
With the Ast family (I don't remember what jobs they had), and the district F,
I need at least 1 training axe.
My initial survey shows the district has a bounty of mature olive trees, among a few tree cuttings.
My initial plans:
1. Chop non-olive trees for clearing and logs
2. Build above ground cabins for District F's citizens.
3. Create an olive tree gathering zone.
4. Gather plants to determine if there is above ground cloth plant: flax, cotton, hemp, or rope reeds?
5. Start above ground farm for cloth resource.
6. Make wood tools and resources: bucket, ash, lye, (wood pot?)
7. Harvest Olives; use Quern and Screw Press to obtain Olive Oil
8. Make soap from Olive Oil.
9. With the excess logs, I have options:
9a. Dedicate 1 citizen of District F to pursue Legendary Carpenter. Build beds initially as I'm sure other districts will need this service.
Perhaps trade Districts for their unwanted logs; and return to them finished wood products such as *SUPERIOR* quality beds.
Although doors, tables, chairs, cabinets, and chest can be made of wood, I rather think conservatively and focus on using logs for beds, barrels, and ash/charcoal for when we wither make steel or clear glass (ash / potash).
10. I did not see any natural beehives. If we do, then bee industry would be a fine side-gig since I will probably make a legendary Pressers and Millers.

So, I need stone to make mechanisms for the screw press, and querns. But rather than go for self-sufficient, I think it will be more !fun! to rely on trades!
It is looking like Mr Shofet's district will have monopoly of stone which I could benefit from if he needs my long term end-products of soap, rare meals ingredients, clothing and paper products from cloth plants.
To Mr. Shofet: I offer a trade pact of stone supplies: stone blocks,
25% total yield of Olive Soap Bars created this year, or until the walls and roof securing District F for stone resources and products.
-or-
1.Looking for stone products: 2 mechanisms, stone blocks, querns, some raw stones, and excess logs felled in your property
Offer *SUPERIOR* quality beds.
2. Looking for stone products: 100 stone jugs
Offer 1 Olive Oil Soap for each 100 stone jugs.
3. Looking for stone products: 100 stone pots
Offer 1 Olive Oil Soap for each 100 stone pots.

I would like a steady source for making jugs. If we have source of Clay it would be good to eventually have a magma kiln near the surface.
Other than jugs, stone pots is what I want to use instead of using wood barrels/pots.

How are we handling the basic furniture? As much as I like masterwork beds for all, it may be more reasonable to aim for an ≡EXCEPTIONAL≡ quality at most for non-nobles. And a minimum of *SUPERIOR* can be achieved in the first year I think, but this will result is a few junk--
shall I make a garbage chute atom-smasher first? or is that a District P service?
So the question is, who wants to pursue Legendary Carpenter skills by mass producing beds early on? It behooves us to specialize this way early on while logs may be more abundant.
