Godspeed you glorious dwarven fools.
Heh; where we're going, Glory is certain to be attained. In what form is the question, of course.
Anyway, I'm going to draft up a plan or two...
Current Resources, for convenience
Wood : 0 (1)
Steel : 0 (2)
Coal : 0 (3)
Food: 0 (3) (-1 Temp per turn)
Steam Cores: 0 (1)
Mana: 1 (1)
Gather Wood x2 (+2 temp wood)
Construct Sawmill (-3 temp wood, +1 perm wood)
Build Beacon (-2 temp steel)
This plan is simple, get that Sawmill up and running ASAP to lessen how much we have to 'Gather Wood'. The Beacon is more its the only thing we could really do with our steel, and gathering more wood is pointless as the Sawmill would handle that. Could gather something else instead.
Gather Wood x3 (+3 temp wood)
Steam Drill (Free) (-1 temp coal, -2 temp wood, +2 depth)
Construct Workshop (-1 temp wood, -1 temp steel)
This plan's technically a bit more flexible, we could swap out the workshop for the Beacon for instance, or do some Exploratory Mining, or build Housing. Our tents are livable at the moment though, so we'll be fine there for a bit. We can't fire the Drill and build a Sawmill, however. That needs 5 wood, and we only have 1, one action too short to do all that in one turn. Anyway,
ideally we fire up the drill for our digging, saves us 2 actions for the cost of only 1 coal. Obviously, we won't always be able to do things ideally.
