I am also going to forever curse myself for choosing this starting location, it really doesn't have much food, but snag has/will fixed this problem so as soon as I have researched pantheonic prayer (praying to multiple gods at once) and got food sorted out i will pray to him, blarg, hasoc, and cthulu because seriously the gods that are helping my people have names that sound eldritch...

I wanted to make bad things happen, but players aren't playing smartly enough to handle it! Maybe I should do it anyway?

Godly behaviors of particular note
Snag could not create a rich pluvial loam plain because after spending 10 minutes on google searches, the GM has had enough. Sorry man, I'm going to need you to explain what this even is if you really want it to be a thing.

Forknor gives 1 fp to Snag.

Hasoc creates a Hell Hole at B2, making this the first interactable tile in the world! When triggered by a god, it will cause danger and food production to adjacent tiles. Because demons.

Blarg... Um... Makes it rain paper money on H2 I guess? I'm going to allow it because none of the people in the world even use money. So I guess you're all a bunch of little commie bastards.

1 person forages at H2 to collect 2 food.
The exposure to paper money causes your civilization to get some crazy idea about a concept called Capitalism!

Swampland Farming: A farmland may be created on swamp tiles at the cost of 15 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.
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.

If a mountain has a mountain trail, foraging on the mountain will provide increased yields. Additionally, the mountain will no longer be treated as difficult terrain.

Junk Tools: 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.

Okay. Pluvial means "from rain". Loam is a kind of sediment that can be deposited by rivers. So a rich pluvial loam plain would be a nice rain-fed floodplain covered in fertile soil for growing crops in.
So Snag is still making that at G1.

(full disclosure: I actually meant "fluvial" originally, meaning from rivers, and mistyped it, but I'm committed to "pluvial" now.)

[Puppyguard]

Forknor flicks his wrist, breaking the divine protection on B2 for 1fp, then he reforms the earth over the hellhole at B2 for 3fp.
"Take your pit elsewhere, Hasoc!"

[dgr11897]

Hey we used a junk tool to make those junk tools? so shouldn't i have one more junk tool than you added due to the bonus? nevermind i apparently just got a bad roll
The patterian minds ponder this new idea, what could it bring...
2 people forage h2 using junk tools
2 pops research rationing
One person researches the nothingness at G1
MURICA here I come, Brace yourselves commies.
Also folknor why did you have to do that?

Actually, snag can you move that tile over, I kinda want to see what will happen if I research the conceptual nothingness of nonexistence at g1...Who knows maybe it tastes like cotton candy, or gives me the knowledge to go down the path of reality manipulation, i mean if my people can figure out how to shape it like the gods can, even if our power over it is really weak comparatively, it will give us a leg up. Nevermind, a plovial plume is much better, i can research nothingness later.

[Supernerd]

To answer a question about the junk tools, if you read the description... Allow me to emphasize a word in it.
A civilian can use a Junk tool while taking certain actions to have a chance to get a minor bonus.

Gilbert gets angry at the GM's mistake and spends his turn being full of anger over GM inadequacy.

K11 was supposed to be a Liquid Nitrogen volcano, not a lava one.
J10 was supposed to be a Completely Inhospitable Tundra, not I10.

You are cursed. No matter how clear your actions are, GMs will misinterpret it.

No actually, snag transformed the liquid nitrogen volcano into a normal lava pool.

[Maximum Spin]

No actually, snag transformed the liquid nitrogen volcano into a normal lava pool.

This is correct. Ice is for losers!
Relatedly, I10 is also correct for the Completely Inhospitable Tundra, as can be seen in KittyTac's post last page (at 50ppp, the objectively correct setting).

Also, I moved my floodplain tile as requested.

[dgr11897]

Don't move it, i realized I can research it now and just keep a guy or two on it, something I will be able to do with a steadier, better food supply.
