Good.  I just check, and (assuming that a flimsy shovel digs two mud per use, and a flimsy palette knife uses two mud to make two bricks), we should have only seven mud left.  That’s low enough that those Mud Maniacs shouldn’t be able to build the Bigger Mud Pile.

Gather Mud!

[SCREE]

Turn 11
TURNTURNTURN

The first tools are constructed and they work fast! A shovel breaks the earth bringing new Mud to the Mud Pile, but the vigorous usage of the Palette Knife leads the pile to decrease in height. A flurry of bricks are made, and the Healing Hut gets built, in a remarkable act of co-operation for Gnomes that will likely go down in history.

Not much research is done today, but a couple of Gnomes do sit in the clearing and make some progress on the thinking arts.

An effort is made to heal the Worker. A pair of brand new goggles is created with great care, and placed gently on his head. After a while, he stops shaking. He is taken to the healing hut, where another Gnome attempts to heal him with the newly found herbs. A poultice made from them is applied, but the Wise Man shakes his head. He has an inkling that this particular affliction is no bacteria or disease...

The Worker Gnome is up and walking again, but he still refuses to work. He lies in the clearing and cloud watches, far from the woods or the Mud Pits, always with his goggles on. It seems he isn't mute anymore, and those who come near him can sometimes catch him muttering under his breath about a curse.

Nobody notices the Wise Man has gone into a coma. Luckily, this has no effect on the day to day running of the place, so everyone assumes he's just taking a really long nap.

Guys, we eat this cycle, so this is a good food-gathering cycle!

I think it's worth making our next workers find sticks and then flint. Crude Tool resources have the same resource efficiency as food/mud/bricks, but can freely be used for different jobs, without adding new inefficiencies from in-fighting over who works where.

Folks, I see a big problem.  All three of our possible tools require require sticks.  All three of our possible tools break after only two uses, therefore we need to replace them constantly.  All three of our possible tools require sticks to make.  Sticks can only be obtained by felling trees.  Trees that are felled go in the tree pile.  The tree pile can only contain 3 trees.  If the tree pile fills up, we can’t fell more trees to get more sticks.  There is currently no way to remove trees from the tree pile.  I think that, in order to remove trees from the tree pile, we need to make use of them.  And, for that, I think we need to research woodworking…
