Turn 13: Secret of the Cracked Void



Now you know what the big deal is with the cracks in the void. Hooray?

Yara
Yara continues to ponder Artifact Creation. It seems that more worshippers will be necessary to make the most of Artifacts...
Yara expends 2 FP to make it rain at A5. This will affect mortal actions next turn!

Stickwalkers
4 workers harvest the farmland at A6 to collect 9 food
2 workers pray to Yara to produce 2 FP

Confederation of Deer
4 workers harvest at A5 to collect an unprecidented 16 food!
2 workers research Cracks in the Void...
-- The tech has been abandoned! The situation is hopeless, and no mortal can interact with the cracks! If the cracked void cannot be replaced, your civilization will be doomed to be devoured by progressively more horrifying monstrosities!
1 worker prays to Yara to generate 1 FP

The Amish
3 workers research cracks in the void...
-- The tech has been abandoned! The situation is hopeless, and no mortal can interact with the cracks! If the cracked void cannot be replaced, your civilization will be doomed to be devoured by progressively more horrifying monstrosities!
3 workers forage at B5 to collect 7 food.
1 new worker is born at the cost of 3 food

The Wolf of the Void begins to ponder Divine Constructs
Include your god name in your future posts. There's a non-infinite amount of times I'll let people neglect this

2 workers begin research on Wood Weaponry Crafting
1 new worker is made at the cost of 3 food.

Some manner of horror has spawned at the neglected crack at C2!

Yara places a Rocky Plateau at C2, hopefully preventing more creatures from spawning there and sealing the crack

3 Workers spend their Action to become Tribesmen.
3 Workers use their Island Foraging Skills to forage F5.
1 Worker prays to Wolf of the Void.


Wolf of the Void, investigate ways to repair the cracks. I suspect FP is needed. The current techs we have do mean we should do fine now. We just need to switch to tribesmen.


perhaps how to Repair/Seal the cracks.

[Superdorf]

Well that ain't good. Yara's gonna need some proper power to contest that thing... first I gotta replenish food stocks tho. Let's test the limits on this farm plot thing.
Stickwalkers
6 workers harvest at A-6

I think the deer should do this, too, so we can see how much effect the rain has. I will supply the FP for another tile.

2 workers forage at B5.

I think investing into basic tools is a good idea as well, as well as simple weapons to take full advantage of the hunting part of hunter gathering. I have a few other planned techs to do for the future, but that is better to send through PMs. Agriculture probably should wait until after complex tools, herbalism, construction, etc. Aquaculture would be perhaps useful down in the oceanic south asteroid in the future.


Arutz tribe(s)
4 Rooties forage at F1
2 Rooties become Rootie Tribesmen (Or is the term "Tribesmen Rooties"?)
2 Rooties research basic stone tools (Hand axes here we come!)
2 Rooties are born for 6 food

After much discussion on what to about the neighboring crack in the void, it quickly became derailed by contemplation on how tasty those eldritch beings must be. The agreement among the Rooties is that this crack in reality is probably not that bad, and if anything, is a benefit for life as a whole. Never let Rooties handle crises while they are hungry...

[Supernerd]

Tribesmen Rooties? The technical term must be "Tooties".
Seriously though, it would probably be easiest for me to understand if you refer to them as Tribesmen in the action post.

Wolf of the void

That's probably for the best.

I think I got prayer covered for the turn. Wouldn't making most of the rain this turn be better? The extra food would let you do more prayer next turn.

[Supernerd]

Turn 14: The Answer



You can find the answer by examining the previous updates carefully.

Yara
Yara creates a Rocky Plateau at C2. As it turns out, no void means no cracked void. With enough prayer, you can prevent the world from getting out of hand! Or at least, half of the world.

Stickwalkers
6 workers harvest the farmland at A6 to collect 12 food
-- The shade cast from the trees has negatively affected this turn's crop

Confederation of Deer
5 workers harvest at A5 where the rain falls to collect 18 food!
1 Stone weapon has been created.
1 worker prays to Yara to generate 1 FP
1 new worker is born at the cost of 3 food

The Amish
3 workers pray to Yara to generate 3 FP
-- Even if its obvious, you should ideally specify that you are praying to Yara
2 workers forage at B4 to collect 3 food
2 workers forage at B5 to collect 3 food

Wolf of the Void
The Wolf of the Void considers some kind of divine Flex Tape... That seems like an... Interesting... Solution to the problem.

Ni-i-ice, it looks like over-farming isn't too much of a problem for time being! I should do something about the shade, tho... maybe a little clearcutting will help.
