While I alone could feed all of you, I'd prefer if there were some other people foraging so we increase our stockpile and we don't have to worry as much about me ever getting into trouble.

[TricMagic]

How to Determine Plant Safety: If you suffer severe negative effects from eating something, you may activate this technology to identify the food item that caused it, even if that effect was delayed for several turns after eating it. This may fail if two different things poison you at the same time.

Activate tech. Add Smart Modifier. What is going on..

Also, if my health was restored by 1, wouldn't I have 3 HP?

Free Research: Poison Resistance{Bonus for Smart and being poisoned currently maybe?}

Commence making a farm plot, as difficult as it is. Surely there's an easier way...

Like researching FARMING TOOLS

Jaynie Morgan @ F6

Main action: Forage F6.

Free Research: Hunting Tools

Please. This is inefficient. We forage roots at something like 1d3 without tools, and a tool made from an uprooted bush in a turn brought Fiman's foraging up from 4-5 of previous turns to 8.

[Supernerd]

I have corrected the health for Star.

I am not 100% sure about the order that the other GM calculates things in is, so I'm not sure if the correct amount of fat for Nirur should be 3 or 0.

[Nirur Torir]

That wasn't what he'd meant to do.
Fire was scary.
He'd better be sure he had a safe way to make more fires, before making more fires. Maybe taking a lesson from what worked, and making a zone with nothing burnable around fires would work. He would also have to see if the current fire left anything behind. Stuff that couldn't be burned.

Nirur makes another Foraging Tool from a bush at F6.
Eat 2 soft yellow roots and 1 blue peeled fruit.
Free research: Pyromancer's Campfire

((Note: I'd still prefer to make a farming plot than this tool, if we can get it done this turn. Kit is, so we need two others before I'll switch.))

Sassalik researches Poetic Knowledge keeping. She recites a concentration poem

I don't think that's an emotion, and it's pretty hard to concentrate with some kid reciting poems that he's created from nothing, with only a few months of practice making them

Spoiler: Completed Research (click to show/hide)

Burrow/Stick Nest construction: You can make a nest out of small sticks which is slightly better at insulating in non-wet conditions. A good location makes a warmer nest. Can dig it out to make it better at insulating you.
Burrowing: You can dig out small burrows with enough labor investment. Improved by tools. Rooms have the be small enoungh for the walls to support all of the weight without extra support.
Farming: A farm plot may be created at the cost of 4 labor. At the cost of 1 labor, you can attempt to grow an item in a farm plot in order to produce resources if successful. Certain items may require additional knowledge or attention. Farm plots may degrade over time and may be repaired for a specified amount of labor which is almost never greater than 4.
Foraging Tools: You may create a Foraging Tool at the cost of 1 labor and 1 solid material. Foraging tools take up 1 equipment slot and improve certain foraging actions when used. The material quality effects how likely it is to break.
How to Determine Plant Safety: If you suffer severe negative effects from eating something, you may activate this technology to identify the food item that caused it, even if that effect was delayed for several turns after eating it. This may fail if two different things poison you at the same time.
Mana Sensing: Characters with at least 1 magic will be able to tell if an item is magical, and will deliberately collect magic resources if they are able to provided that it would not interfere with their intended actions. You also have the option to deliberately avoid magic items.
Poetry: Emotions may be "applied" to most forms of communication, and doing so may affect how it is interpreted. The likelihood of this effect working depends on the recipients skills.
Toolmaking: You may create a Tool Rod using 1 labor and 1 wood. You can create a Tool Binding using 1 labor and 2 Fibrous Plants. Tool Rods and Tool Bindings may be used as components for most tools, and they are much more durable than random junk.
