My action, I guess I make sun-dried herbs

We're over the herb limit for safe storage.  We got a neat 5 herbs from the 6 food gathered yesterday.  We've got 5 foraging workers now, but we could have vastly more herbs than we can handle soon.

We've also got 8/10 food rot with illnesses coming when that's over limit, so we may need a looooot of herbs and herbs also contributing to our sickness.

So I'll find out if I can dry herbs!

@Scree - you just posted turn 21.  It appears we did not eat.  Has something changed?

This is important.  I’ll wait to post my action until after @SCREE responds to this.

I almost did too, then I got scared that Scree might fix it and update at the same time, and I might not have an action if I delayed

woops, posted on break so it was a bit rushed. All fixed now! There was also 2 missing food from the newly minted forager workers, now accounted for.

zomg!  You adjusted the herbs too.  Herbocalypse!  improvises herb drying

So there's a listed benefit to building a second wise gnome's hut, but we can also build a second workshop which doesn't have an obvious benefit.

I’ve given up on building a second wise man’s hut.  It can only be built from bricks and requires 10 bricks.  However, every time we get to 5 bricks, someone uses them to build a hut.



Build: Lumberyard (requires 2 felled trees, 4 planks).

Edit:  Changed Action.

Research Distilation.

We can be the first gnomes to 'cheat' and build 1/10th of a wise man's hut or something.  Would take more gnome moves but ensure bricks were used.

This could provoke brick shattering.

Archaeologists may wonder in thousands of years who raided us and destroyed our civilization, never realizing it was us.  Still if that doesn't happen we could try this, might be good.

There's not really much reason to build brick huts anymore when wood huts are strictly better anyways. I wonder if we can assign workers to tree felling/plank crafting.

This has been tried so far in that general direction:

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.

Craft a shovel
Craft a brick

Build a Mud Hut, and assign labourer to Foraging Food

Please assign the worker to sticks instead. Not only is it more efficient, since we're getting small amounts of free flint, but you're going to make the mud workers riot.

Build a mud hut and have the worker gather mud.

Okay, worker's can't gather sticks, I was confused by gather's huts being able to store sticks.

Scree never that I saw commented on this, the assignment didn't seem to happen and no extra sticks appeared.

Gather mud.

Maybe we need a lumberyard for that?

Good Idea.  After doing some math, I’ve changed my action from researching distillation to building a lumber yard.  Someone else will have to finish up distillation (it should need just one more research point).
