[Maegil]

Oh, my... I seem to have upset the GM...

[vishdafish]

Easter Sunday continues chopping wood in G6. He also continues researching broadhead arrows.

[Imic]

Imic harvests love berries in F7 with the farming tool. I also help consteuct Maegil's barricade.

[Maegil]

(I'm not working this turn, Beatrix and Asker took it off to lay eggs.)

[Supernerd]

There is not actually a unfinished barricade in progress.

[Supernerd]

*Rule update*
The Egg caste has been added to the first post, as well as the Fragile "ability"

*Tip*
Eggs can be seen in the character list. There's a saying...

Turn 20
Upkeep: Four units of food are eaten.

Asker of questions consumes 1 additional food, restoring 1 health. Asker of questions and Beatrix Purnima go to the Palisade at F7. Seven eggs have been created! Research begins on Child Care.

Easter Sunday uses the Stone Axe to collect 1 log, 1 ropevine and 1 golden fruit. Research on Broadhead Arrows has completed.

Imic uses the farming tool to collect 5 love berries from the farm at F7.

Spoiler: Science (click to show/hide)

Agriculture: The building "Farmland" may be created on a tile. A size 0 farmland can be created for 5 labor, and its size can be increased by 1 at the expense of 2 labor and 2 plants. Not all plants can be grown and the farmland can only accommodate one type. Each size on the farmland allows up to 1 plant to be harvested from it per turn by civilians who spend time working it. Much more reliable than foraging.
Arrows: The item "Basic Arrows" can be created with 1 wood and 2 labor. One is expended when attacking with a bow. Expect to get several of them when this is crafted.
Bait: Any food can be added to a pit trap to act as bait to increase the liklihood of something getting trapped.
Basic Tools: The tool "Gathering Tool" may be created at a cost of 1 labor and 1 building material. When the tool is created, one resource is designated. Using the tool increases labor by 1 when attempting to gather that material. Does not stack with most other tools.
Basic Torch: The weapon "Torch" may be created at the cost of 1 wood on a tile that contains a campfire. The wielder of this item may choose to create fire on the tile they are on. Fire inflicts an unknown amount of damage to targets, and can cause Fear. This item may be used to remove the labor cost when building a campfire. Each turn this item has a chance of breaking. Note that it can be dangerous to its wielder.
Bow: the weapon "Bow" may be created at a cost of 2 building material and 1 string. Not all materials will create a functional weapon. A bow may be used to make a ranged attack in an adjacent tile.
Broadhead Arrow: The item "Broadhead Arrows" can be created with 1 wood, 1 material and 3 labor. Expect to get several when crafting.
Carpentry: The building "House" may be created on a tile at the cost of 5 labor and 10 wood. Most animals will have difficulty accessing the contents of a house, and resting in a house will restore 1 additional health.
Carpentry Tool: The tool "Carpentry Tool" may be created at the cost of 1 labor and 2 wood building material. Provides +1 labor when constructing buildings with wood.
Cooking: Cooking may now be attempted on a tile with a Campfire by expending one or more items as well as at least 1 labor. Results will vary wildly.
Farming: A "Farming tool" may be created at the cost of 2 labor and 2 building materials. Farming tools increase labor when performing a farming action by 2. Does not stack with most other tools.
Fertility: the item "Fertilizer" may be made with 1 plant and 1 labor, or 2 labor in a area with an abundance of plants. Fertilizer can repair 2 points of damage to farmland, or contribute 2 points of labor to its construction. Also has a chance to cause positive effects to occur when working the farm. The plant used to make it does not need to be edible.
Fire: The building "Campfire" may be created at a cost of 2 labor and 2 wood. Each turn the Campfire requires a maintenance cost of 1 burnable material in order to continue functioning. If a campfire stops burning it will be destroyed. Note that someone must declare what material is being used to keep the fire burning on literally every single turn to keep it going. Resting at a campfire will restore an additional point of health, and fire has a chance to cause fear to non-intelligent creatures. This fear may bypass fear immunity.
Fishing Rod: The tool "Fishing Rod" may be created at a cost of 3 labor and 1 building material. This tool can be used to obtain otherwise unattainable items from water sources; but it is otherwise less effective than foraging.
Glass: The material "Glass" may be created using using 1 sand, 2 labor and 1 glowroot at a campfire. This method will produce low quality glass which will shatter on impact.
Healing: A civilian may consume an additional food in a turn to restore its health by 1.
Herbology: A "Salve" may be created at the cost of 1 labor, 2 herbs and 1 water. The water cost is not applicable on a tile that has water. The effect of the salve varies on the item used to make it. Note that the communal inventory cannot directly store liquids such as salves.
Hoe: The tool "Hoe" may be created at a cost of 1 labor and 2 building materials. Equipping a hoe will give you a x2 labor multiplier when creating farmland. Does not stack with most other tools.
Housing: The building "House" may be created on a tile at the cost of 5 labor and 15 building material. Most animals will have difficulty accessing the contents of a house, and resting in a house will restore 1 additional health.
Irrigation: The building "Paddy field" may be made on a tile with natural water. A size 0 Paddy Field may be created at a cost of 8 labor, and its size can be increased by 1 at the expense of 2 labor and 2 plants. Not all plants can be grown and the Paddy Field can only accommodate one type. Each size on the Paddy Field allows up to 1 plant to be harvested from it per turn by civilians who spend time working it. The Paddy Field can be used to cultivate plants that require large amounts of water.
Knife: The weapon "Knife" may be created at the cost of 1 labor, 1 building material and 1 sharp material. A knife will increase final melee damage by 1 and may have other utilities.
Masonry: Stone may be collected from most tiles; especially mountainous regions. This works like a foraging action; though it is less efficient than other kinds of foraging. When used as a building material, stone is highly durable.
Masonry: When constructing a building on a rocky tile such as a mountain, 2 labor may be used in place of 1 masonry.
Palisade: The building "Palisade" may be created on a tile at the cost of 2 labor and 3 building material. Attacking this building without a tool deals retalliation damage to the attacker based on the materials used. Cannot be used to wall off large areas.
Pit Trap Cover: The building "Pit Trap" may be upgraded with a "Pit Trap Cover" at a cost of 1 labor and 1 string per building size. (ex: A size 3 pit trap costs 3 string and 3 labor). A Pit Trap Cover will make the pit hard to detect.
Rationing: A material may now be marked as "Rationed". A rationed item will not be consumed even if it would cause starvation. This can have negative effects on morale, but can preserve high value food items or prevent higher starvation levels later.
Rope: The building material "Rope" may be created at the cost of 4 string and 1 labor. Has miscellaneous uses.
Shields: The weapon "Shield" may be created at a cost of 2 labor and 2 building material. Additional material may optionally be used. If a shield is used in combat there is a chance that the item will take damage instead of the wielder. If you forget to specifically declare you are using the shield that chance drops to 0%
Shovel: The tool "Shovel" may now be created at a cost of 1 labor and 2 building material. Equipping a shovel gives an x2 labor multiplier when digging. Does not stack with most other tools.
Spiked Shield: A spiked shield may be made using 2 labor, 1 string and 1 material. This weapon functions the same as shield, but it also can inflict damage to the attacker based on the material used to make the item.
Stone Axe: The tool "Stone Axe" has been created at the cost of 1 labor, 1 building material and 1 masonry. This tool allows for the gathering of "Logs" from a forested tile.
Stone Flail: The weapon "Stone Flail" may be created at a cost of 1 building material, 1 string and 1 masonry. This weapon increases base damage by 1 and may have other utility.
String: The material "Simple String" may be created at the cost of 1 labor and any plant. Items created with Simple String may break under stress. Not all Simple Strings are of equal quality.
Trap Design: The building "Pit Trap" may be created on a tile. The labor cost to create a pit trap is [building size]*[building size]. (EX: A size 3 trap would cost 9 labor). Not effective on all creatures, and completely ineffective if the trap is smaller than the target.
Trap Design: The building "Snare Trap" may be created on a tile at the cost of 2 labor, 1 string and 1 building material. A snare trap can stop a creature from moving, but is only as strong as the material used to make it.[/b]

5 Log: A wood building material with high quality. Too heavy for the communal inventory. Weight 3.

[S34N1C]

Yeah, we should definitely move some of the eggs so they aren't all in the same place , but idk where. I'll leave that to you Maegil.

On F7, harvest the paddy field and the portion of the farm that Imic can't. Research child care.

[Maegil]

I agree, I'll get some more materials and make another palisade on F6.
Don't forget to harvest the extra berry.

Eat two love berries.
Go to F6 and gather branches with the tool.

Research child care.

[vishdafish]

Alternatively, someone could make another stone axe and help with logging. The children could be raised in the house.

Easter Sunday uses 2 labor to fell more trees on G6. He uses the last labor point to create a simple string out of the ropevine.  He then moves to G7, and checks the pit trap. He starts researching the mystery gray substance in the communal inventory. He eats the golden fruit in addition to a loveberry.

[S34N1C]

Don't tell me how to raise my own childrenRight now , we're just worried about keeping the eggs safe from predators. The house is definitely an important project.

[Maegil]

The house is definitely important, but if I move further away I can't research child care with Beatrix. Besides, we're short of branches and stone for the axe.

My current plan:
This turn I'll collect branches, the next I'll make a thorn gathering tool (let's see if we can finally avoid getting stung gathering them) and gather more branches (the tool isn't available on the same turn).
On the third turn, I'll go back, gather thorns with the tool and grab some eggs. On the fourth, I'll head elsewhere, deposit the eggs somewhere safe, and build another thorn palisade around them. Maybe rinse and repeat: get some more thorns, more eggs, and make a third palisade elsewhere - in case of emergency they'll be useful anyway.

Has anyone a better suggestion?

[S34N1C]

The thorns are exactly the reason I'm trying to make salves. We need to regain hp without just eating more food.

Also, without a way to store them, how does making/using salves work? Do we just cup our hands and drink it?

[Maegil]

I think we're supposed to use the clay to research pottery. Anyway, a salve takes two vegetables and a labour for a total cost of three labours, while eating only one extra food costs one labour; to do both would help to regain health faster, but it's less cost-efficient - at least unless the salve's effect is greater than 3HP per turn...
Hmm, maybe we should experiment mixing different types of herbs to see if there's a difference.

[S34N1C]

I would assume that the salve would heal more than 1hp, otherwise it would be literally useless, and I don't thing supernerd would be that cruel.
That's also why I was researching glass earlier, so we could make bottles.

[vishdafish]

Yeah, im 90% sure that salves will restore more than 1hp. I will research healing again, after I finish my current research project. Restoring health seems to be quite a major problem. Wished one of us picked regeneration as a species ability now .
