Forage food and stay by the foraging worker's side again.  Something might happen to him after a few turns.

Guys, we desperately need distillation made.

Herbs can rot too.  We get herbs sometimes when we try to get food.  If we don't find a use for herbs soon I am going to be trying to make clothing out of them, clothing dyes out of them, and similar so they don't pile up and rot.

Think about crushing bricks. Maybe they can be transformed back into mud?

Turn 14
TURNTURNTURN

It is another lazy day, as Gnomes attend to their daily tasks. Only a few resources were gathered, and the flurry of interest in tools has died down, as they stopped being the new hip thing. The foraging worker is still kept a close eye on, which they seem very relieved about. Progress is made towards both woodworking and distillation - it is an arduous ongoing task, but one that might be completed soon.

Another hut goes up, and a nice rhythm is found with the workers assisting the more veteran Gnomes in their everyday tasks. There was now a forager, mud gatherer and two crafters. Sometimes they uncovered flint or herbs as they went about their work. Nobody had yet decided to build a Mud Hut with the intention of attracting a Thinker to the village.

Meanwhile, one of the more muddy Gnomes perplexes themselves, thinking of whether one can turn a hexagonal brick back into less hexagonal mud.

We eat again this turn.  Reminder the workers eat too.  We keep making more workers.  We are at risk of imbalance in many areas.  People better start doing stuff with the herbs somehow.  Distillation probably does herb stuff.

Moore fooode.  And more gathering-worker buddying, observing, and protecting.

We can try to research a trash pit if becomes a problem.
Workers can feed themselves, unless the affliction starts spreading. Which means we should probably treat the affliction before expanding too far. Maybe alcohol will fix their insanity.

Well, I just finished us up on woodworking (so hopefully we can do something with those trees).

Currently, we have 4 workers and 1 wise man.  This means that we will consume 5+4+1=10 food this turn (provided that no one builds any more huts or wise man huts).  We currently have 10 food (assuming that you only suggested that people gather food, and didn’t actually gather any yourself), which is just enough for everyone to eat (provided that we don’t get any more workers, thinkers, or wise men).  If we increase the number of workers, thinkers, or wise men, we will need more food.  However, our gatherer’s hut can only hold 10 food.  Any excess food will have a chance to rot.  Therefore, it would be best if we were to build a second gatherer’s hut and assign it to food before we increased the number of workers, thinkers, or wise men.  A gatherer’s hut requires 5 bricks.  We only have 2 bricks.  We need more bricks.  A brick requires 1 mud.  We have 5 mud.  Therefore, we have enough mud to create the 3 extra bricks that we need to create a second gatherer’s hut.  And so, in conclusion…

You (and any others that haven’t posted actions) should focus your efforts on crafting bricks, rather than gathering food.

Edit:  adjusted numbers of bricks.  Damn you, Nirur Torir, you could’ve waited until after I posted!

Edit2:  just realized I forgot to adjust the amount of mud I said we had.
