I think at this point, I can only guesstimate what I have for trade.
Mining basement may be done later when Caravan Day arrives.
Thinking about how this plays out:
Phase 0. TimelessBob provides a Start Year x save.
Phase 1. We RP, trades, then play, and submit.
1. Screen shot dig layout.
2. List the build order; screen shot for furniture placements.
3. Note zone setup.
4. List citizen and corresponding labor enabled.
5. List build items - but here is where the estimates happen because my game play will differ from TimeBob's actual play.
Fast forward to end of 1 game year for us Blue Print players.
Phase 2. TimelessBob plays the real game.
1. Following our blue prints, builds, labors, etc.
2. Caravan Day happens, so this depends on whether the liaison starts a meeting or if the game was saved prior to the meeting.
TimelessBob provides a save.
Phase 3. Players peruse the current save.
1. If the game is saved prior to the liaison meeting request for next years items, we players can peruse our district's progress, our needs, and our stocks.
2. We can then request specific items from the liaison for next year.
3. And then we can unpause the game from our end and see what is available for trade and make offers for caravan trades.
4. We will have a better idea on our stock and RP, offer trades to other players.
5. We can even make screen shots for blue prints updated, or shift priorities for our districts.
Phase 4. TimelessBob resumes the game on his end
1. Use input from Phase 3 regarding trades from caravan and players.
2. Update to blue prints, if any.
3. Save at Founder's Day, 1st of Spring, and repeat to Phase 0.
