I Hunger...For FOOD!

[SCREE]

Turn 20
TURNTURNTURN

As the vortex's clear and the forest is more visible one again, a battalion of Gnomes swarm into the forest, picking every fruit, veg, mushroom and tuber in sight. Huge handfuls of grubby goods are brought back to the empty Gatherer's hut, in a flurry of activity to fill the stores once more. A couple of the Worker gnomes started complaining about the limited diet, reminiscing of a time when they had something called proteeeen. Irregardless, the great grub pile begins to form once more, giving hope that starvation might be avoided. Alongside all this activity, many herbs were discovered and brought back to the Healer's Hut, and hung from the roof with care.

A new hut is built, and the newly recruited worker is immediately turned around before they can settle in, shooed off into the forest to learn the methods of the gatherers.

One Gnome attempts to make some sort of alcoholic concoction from mud to present to the spirits, but only succeeds in making a mud pie. Without a sacred space to present the meager offering, combined with it's low quality... well, this seems to displease the spirits. But maybe being able to upset the spirits on cue could prove useful one day, so the knowledge is added to the collective Gnome memory. The afflicted worker paces in the mud pits, possibly incapable of climbing out in his afflicted state.

The dauntless mud gatherer's continue their thankless task, seemingly undaunted by the supernatural threat that briefly disrupted the village. Now that a semblance of peace has returned to the village, the Thinker Gnomes return to the discussion of Distillation with verve.

Craft:  Flimsy Pallete Knife.
Use Tool:  Flimsy Pallete Knife to Craft Mud Brick.

Note:  we need one person to FFF (in addition to the three foraging workers).

[Kashyyk]

Assign Layabout Labourer to Foraging

[Crystalizedmire]

FFF

[Jilladilla]

Heal Sick Worker

[Egan_BW]

Craft shovel, use it.

[brewer bob]

Gather mud with bare gnome hands

[Nirur Torir]

Craft a mud hut, assign the new worker to forage for food.

The more efficient way to get food probably does not involve more workers at this time, but research, either on or off the paths we know exist.

Trap research costs 18 actions, and we probably want both distillation and punishment first. Having 1/3 +2 of our workers on food will solve our food issues until then.

[Imp]

Reassign a brick maker to felling trees

How much food do we get from 1 person foraging?

Currently 1 per player or worker.

Research distillation.

Next turn is turn 20, we don't eat that turn.  But the turn after is 21, we do eat after next turn.

I believe we currently are about to get 8 food for this turn, we can store up to 20.  I anticipate we will try to consume 13 food at this point (more if we get more workers/wise men before then.  We will have 2 workers MAYBE 3 already gathering food at the start of turn 20 -- that's IF Nirur can actually both build a hut AND assign its worker to 'forager' - I think instead we get a worker instead of a thinking worker, and will still need to manually assign it.

So right now I think we need to gather about 5 more food either this turn or the next to avoid more sickness.

We also have 1 worker that needs healing (and plenty of herbs to heal with) and that distillation to calm the spirits which are all likely top needs.

Well, this means that either we need a more efficient way of gathering food, or we will have to relegate at least 33% of our population to food gathering each turn.  I am trying to make a cruck house and will assign both workers to foraging, which should tide us over until we get more people.  Do the tools provide any bonus resources gained?

When you or someone gains those 2 extra workers, we will need 15 food per 3 turns.  The workers can, at most, gather 6 during those 3 turns, and that's presuming nobody sends them off after different tasks, they don't become afflicted or sick, and we have no more food-destroying disasters.  It also is an investment of at least 3 actions, ignoring what was needed to make the materials for the structure, to make it then assign the two workers to work.  People will reassign them, this is not really 'efficient' in my mind (but we're all gonna do whatever we do).

Crude weapons?  Trapmaking?

Farming, hunting, could even be food along distillation.

[Imp]

Gather food, and as I do so, consider edible insects.  Sample and try, collect what I can stand.

[FiveBalesOfHay]

Use tool: flimsy palette knife.

[Wolfkey]

Attempt to figure out a way to convince workers to cut trees.

Well, I was already accounting for the three we have gathering right now.  But it's irrelevant anyways, as, judging by the fact that my action did not get processed, we can't assign laborers to cut down trees anyways. 

Build mud house, hire worker

Looks like I miscounted before (should’ve said we needed two people to FFF instead of just one), but it looks like we’re now breaking even on food (even considering the new workers).  Just remember that if we get any more workers, we’re going to need more food…
