To clarify, the tech lets you make string out of any plant... But some plants make a lower quality string than others.

 I GO TO G6 AND FORAGE LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. WHICH IT PROBABLY DOES.
Edit: I RESEARCH MASONRY AS WELL.
Edit edit: I RESEARCH better toold instead.

[helmacon]

In area D6, there is a large strange looking object. It is black in color, rectangular prism in shape and stands upright...

things are about to get very... Interesting

Plz research as well. If youre stuck on what to research, research something that someone is already researching.

[Sprityo]

Masonary. Is. already. Finished.

[Sprityo]

Scout/map the area for D6. Forage for food if possible. Move back to E6. Research Better tools.

(From Tips): "Not only is it possible to research previously researched things, Imic's "Creative" trait actually gives a bonus when doing exactly that."

Oh wow, how did I miss this. My apologies imic.

*Rule Updates*
See naming for a new rule regarding re-naming.

*Tip*
Once again, I remind you that if you need to eat you better make sure you specifically specify that you are willing to eat rationed food. If you mess this up this turn, I will let you starve to death.

Turn 14
5 food items have been consumed from the inventory. Nobody starves... This time.

Asker of Questions uses two branches to create a Hoe. Asker cannot name the Golden Fruit "Cashew" because it has already been named. The GM does begrudgingly permit the branches to be called "Cashew Branches"; however the item now has a misleading name. Love Berries and Waterleafs are rationed. Asker then harvests the file to obtain one Golden Fruit and one Ropevine. Fortunately no food was stolen this time. Unfortunately, one of those "Monkeys" decided to take the Golden Fruit gathering tool! And now its running up a tree.

Easter Sunday creates 2 simple strings from the unknown yellow plants. The product is of a particularly low quality however, though it should suffice for at least one use of a tool. He attempts to forage as well... But doesn't find anything this time. The concept of bait proves to be simple enough to figure out immediately!

Beatrix Purnima wields the farming tool, and expends labor and 2 love berries on the farmland to increase it to size 5. Beatrix then harvests 4 love berries from the farm. Research continues on housing.

Imic stops research on Masonry and begins research on better tools. Without collaboration, this starts a second research project on the subject of Better Tools. Imic forages on G6 to collect one poorly named Cashew Branch and red herb. One of those "Monkeys" has been sighted in the area, this time you found it before it found you!

Finsternis Geist searches D6 and locates one unknown blue flower, then moves back to E6.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

[S34N1C]

((You accidentally put Beatrix instead of Finsternis. Check the last action))

Forage for herbs.  Continue research on housing.

[Maegil]

Go to F7. Expand the Love Berry farm to size 6, using the farming tool and two of berries, and un-ration them.

Since one person alone can harvest only four farm plots with a gathering tool (or is it six, a +1 per action?), assist Beatrix by harvesting the fifth farm.

Eat the two remaining berries, and give the Golden Fruit to Beatrix Purnima with a little dance.
(sorry about the renaming, I thought that is hadn't been named yet and it was just a description)

Rename the ill-advisedly named Cashew branches as "Golden branches".
Use the last action to make a Carpentry Tool with the two Golden branches.

If Beatrix can harvest all the plots alone, start a palisade with the Bloody thorns.

Think about a trap for the monkeys, probably something involving string and bait.

I quit 'cause I am crap at this, as well as another mouth to feed.

Just when we had finally achieved food security... Do you mind if we auto your character to harvesting, freeing S34N1C's to do something else?

Sure.

[S34N1C]

I-I'm free? I can do something else? I don't even know how to type anything other than "harvest"

[Supernerd]

If you decide to quit, your character is going to be out of the game for good. Just figured I'd throw that out there. Are you sure you want out?
