Huh. I'll await Saxony-Brandenburg's response.

Indeed.

Nux did mention that labor towards ends would help with tech. That's why I've taken the time to dry meat, for instance, and collect fat - pemmican should be easier to develop with the constituent materials to hand, instead of merely whole-cloth.

There's not much prep that can be done for smoking or melting copper in a campfire, which are the two things I've been doing for two years now. Neither of those are particularly complicated.

Hmm. Perhaps something like constructing a small bower to do the smoking in (confining the smoke to ensure it permeates the meat), or gathering timber to get a steady flame for melting the copper? Or even gathering the copper ore, so you can ensure you have a fine quality of ore to work with instead of one mostly intermixed with a stone matrix? Just spitballing here, but there are always intermediary steps or things you can do to prepare for success, even in the simplest of processes.

Fair enough, I guess. But I can't really spare the labor when I need 2/3 of my non-scholars to be getting food, and I can't hit the RNG for a tech that will allow me to have extra food. Catch-22.

Yet the ability to dehydrate meat is elusive to my people. So my scholars are just dumbasses. :p

In other news, I now know one of my neighbors after they whipped up that forest fire. Plus they have medical herbs so that's good in getting the population boom going.

I'm pretty sure that was a natural wildfire. There was no mention of people.

I thought there was a connection between the Ciaráin's event with their inferno and my tribe seeing smoke over the horizon. But I'm also like my people so take my word for salt.

Which I wish I had.

A bunch of us had the inferno event, including me. It seems to have been a pretty large fire.

I would think so too, though they didn't start it, if I read aright.

What I was trying to say was that I at least know who some of my neighbors are in some way. But I'm at least happy that I have somewhat found how to do smoking.

Carry the meat closer to the giant forest fire. Meat gets smoked at close range. Win.

I'm sure you can still find bits of it burning.

So will it show how long do I have to invest in researching smoking in order to get it unlocked finally?

Presumably - though I would estimate more 10 or so. They're an effort to avoid eventual demographic collapse.

Well, of course. I need about 3 or more kids to ensure that my peeps in their 18-20s will be replaced after they reach like 50 or 60-so.

I will get my year 3 post up tomorrow morning or afternoon. Please don't go to year 4 without me. I did not have time to do it tonight. The only reason my thing says online is cause I leave my NS tabs open. On a side-note, I love this roleplay and it is very fun.

Good luck to everyone this year. Loads of us had some problems last year. Hopefully when this update happens, no one has a repeat of the poor health hazards and no one outright dies from those illnesses
