We don't have a waterleaf gathering tool

[Supernerd]

Tools are per turn, not per action. If it gives +2 to an action, you can't cheat the system by taking several actions. (Tools that specifically multiply certain actions such as the hoe do work for several actions). I advise against trying to abuse multi-action as it comes with a very real penalty.

I'm going to say that player characters are size 3.

If you take note of the wording in the last update, I stated that the logs are too heavy for the monkey, but only "pretty heavy" to you. Having capacity 8 means you can carry 2 and 2/3 logs at a given time. Items in the communal inventory are not restricted by this as it would be too much of a pain to track every single item. If it doesn't have a weight stat, the item can be freely moved.

@S34N1C: We do: "1 Gathering Tool: Waterleaf (+1 labor for gathering Waterleaf)"

But I meant the farming tool - not that it's really necessary if the labour is already in, and you still have leftover actions.

BTW, I edited my post.

@Supernerd: Thanks for clarifying. It wasn't abuse, just plain ignorance, I actually thought that a specific tool would be more useful for its job than a general farming tool.

[S34N1C]

Oh shit, we DO have one of those. Whoops.

[Elvish Miner]

isn't in the game yet, but understands.

@Maegil
What do you mean?

[Maegil]

Building: Increases the quality of buildings made. This effect stacks

We both have the "Building" ability; if either you or I alone make the palisade, it gets a (+) bonus, but if each of us does one of the two required labours, it stacks the bonus to (++).

It'd be better if others would ask that we collaborated in building whatever is necessary while they took over our lesser tasks, but i guess that's asking too much...

[Imic]

Where is the palisade? I haven't really been paying attention to everything, aside from the Yider.

[Maegil]

I'm starting it on F7, by the farms.

[Imic]

Ooooooooooh.
I help Maegil work on the palisade at F7 using one labour point, and use the rest to farm for love berries. I research masonry as well so as to possibly make it a stone wall in the future.

[Maegil]

No, we don't have enough food. We still have to harvest or we'll starve the next turn; that's why I want to swap with you for one of our three labours.

[Maegil]

@Imic: you specified the location on which you're working this turn, but Supernerd wants us to acknowledge understanding the new rule that you must always specify the location on which you're working to make the post valid.

I saw that.

[vishdafish]

Sorry for late reply. I acknowledge the new rule. Easter Sunday uses all his labor points to cut down trees with his stone axe on G6. He starts researching broadhead arrows.

[Supernerd]

*Tip*
Research in progress will be forgotten when it appears to have been abandoned; usually after a third simultaneous research begins by a single person.

Turn 19
Upkeep: Four love berries are eaten

Beatrix Purnima gathers 1 Giant Waterleaf from the paddy field. Research on Glass has completed.

Asker of Questions moves to F7 and consumes an additional love berry to heal 1 health. Asker creates 5 Goldenwood arrows out of a Golden Branch and begins work on a palisade. The paddy field is upgraded to size 2.

The thought of trying to go inside a construction made entirely of bloody thorns is less than appealing.

Imic works with Asker of Questions to complete the Palisade, creating an object in F7 which will damage creatures on impact. It is more dangerous than the bloody thorns in the area, which your tribe has gotten mostly accustomed to; and it blends in with the scenery here. Imic uses the farming tool to gather 4 love berries and research on masonry is finished.

Easter Sunday collects 2 logs at G6, and adds them to the pile. Research begins on broadhead arrows. This causes research on Selective Breeding to be forgotten.

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.
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]
