I didn't realize The Arutz were on B4. Is that a mistake, or did me foraging C4 when they spawned displace them?

I think it is a mistake, as I did spawn on C4.

[Supernerd]

It was a GM error of the magnitude that really should have been brought to my attention immediately.

[Maximum Spin]

It was a GM error of the magnitude that really should have been brought to my attention immediately.

I suspect nobody noticed until now.

I also just noticed that the most recent tiles list has J11 as "forest" even though the map shows the slightly different volcano tile.

[Supernerd]

I only barely double check the update posts that I make, so a lot of stuff like that slips through. That being said, make sure that the things relevant to you look like they make sense.

The Arutz home tile is and always was C4. Any claims to the contrary are due to a GM error.

Trying to get exactly the minimum required amount of rp needed for a tech will pretty much guaruntee you will get the worst possible result from your research. Some of these hints in the red text will never be repeated, so good things happen to the people who actually pay attention.

Godly behaviors of particular note
Snag turns F11 into a tropical beach. Not that there are any mortals nearby to appreciate it.

Kyuu spends 4 FP to protect J10 for 2 points.

Felius turns I10 into a Catnip Field

2 people forage at... A4? You said you are at C4, in which case foraging at A4 would be an invalid action as the tile is too far away... But I'll allow it for this turn only because you may have been under the impression that you were stuck at B4 as a result of a GM error and I don't want to hold up the update. 4 food is collected from A4 before the Arutz move east.
2 people continue to research basic tools, attaining proof of concept.
2 people research mountain construction. The tech is halted due to their realization that some kind of building material would be necessary in order to actually build something. As a result they have obtained a theoretical understanding of Building Materials.

Farming: A farmland may be created on most types of flat tile at the cost of 10 labor. A farmland may be worked to collect food and the farmland yield effect is shown on the tile info spoiler. Limit of one per tile. The word "Farmland" must be used when collecting from a farmland.
Basic Toolmaking: At the cost of 1 labor, a "Junk Tool" is created. Junk tier items do not require specified resources to make and only the labor is required. A civilian can use a Junk tool while taking certain actions to have a chance to get a minor bonus. You must use the words "Junk Tool" alongside a civilian action or it will not take effect.
Tribal Worship Dance: Your civilization may perform a Tribal Worship Dance. This action will only work if every single member of your tribe participates, and provides FP to a specified god.

Swamp vine basket weaving: A basket may be created at the cost of 2 labor on a swamp tile (Co-ordinate specification required). Foraging with a basket will allow a unit to forage at a tile that is 2 tiles away from an owned tile. Trying to cross difficult terrain such as mountains or ocean will prevent an action from working and crossing dangerous tiles still causes danger. The word "Basket" must be included for this to take effect, and you must specify the tile that the unit travels through to get to its final destination.
Building Material: It is now possible to forage for Wood or Stone on tiles! You must specify that you are foraging for "Wood" or "Stone" or else it will be assumed you meant to forage for food.
