Current Projects

Water Mine

We need to find out what the best pitch is for our water mine. If you are able to stand next to the water mine for an entire hour and record how many gems it produces please list them here. At least 5 per pitch would be preferred.

Camp upkeep

Not sure what to work on? There are some recurring tasks around camp that need doing and we can always use your help with those. First off, please replace what you use. If everyone does this, no one will find empty cupboards. If you use a complex resource (such as metal or glass products) and you don't have the skill to replace the actual items, at least make sure there are enough basic resources so someone else can make more. This especially matters for secondary resources such as charcoal and glass. If you decide to practice something you may not be super-skilled at please make sure the resources you use are your own. Please keep in mind when you consume resources that someone else has put in time and effort to gather/create that resource.

Please try to vary tasks from the list so we don't end up with huge piles of one resource and none of the others. Timer jobs can be done while doing other stuff.

• Regular camp tasks

• • Basic
    • picking and drying grass for the camels
    • gathering wood
    • cutting boards
    • growing vegetables for cooking and firepits
    • growing and processing flax for clothwork
    • growing and drying papyrus and flax for firepits
    • hauling copper and iron ore from the mines to the smelting warehouse
    • smelting metal (500 ore + 20 cc = 15 metal)
    • chipping limestone for glass production
    • gathering silt and clay
    • making bricks/firebricks
    • attend a dig - we always need cuttable and medium stones
    • gather coconuts - Coco Circuit

• • Complex
    • making charcoal
    • boiling potash
    • running firepits

• • Things to do on timers, as you pass by.
    • Split coconuts (may need to gather)
    • Process a round of rotten flax (or weave linen/canvas)
    • Gather & fertilize the date tree
    • Replenish water/dung in tubs for saltpeter
    • Whittle tinder and pointy sticks for the firepits
    • Whittle barrel taps (needed for wine and beer later)
    • Gather resin and re-nick (only if you have a decent resin wedge) - local resin map

Guild Projects

• Need to do a dig as we are basically out of cuttable stone. Why don't we organise a dig and reserve the mediums for research (gravel)
• Building up the camp buildings as techs open up, obviously.
• Livestock are currently up & breeding.
• Checking apiaries for queens once a day - check the time they were last checked and if it's under 12 hrs, don't touch.
• Research?

Rahu's Projects

• Buildings
  • Pigment Lab
    • Gather, process and make glass products
  • CC Ovens
    • Make clay bricks once masonry is open
    • Hunt down leather
• Researching interests
  • Science of Color
  • ACP
  • Barley & Horticulture (though haven't done any since fishing seems like torture instead of fun)
• Other
  • Load and break tons of sheet glass
    • Keep sheets for terrariums/greenhouses or donate?

Aiko's Projects

• Wine, wine, wine. Currently working on figuring out the best tends for Contemplation (it's painful) and start up my vineyard grid
• Tasting table?
  • Marble - I need help with this
  • Glasses - I need help with this
• Papyrus - testing for better yield in our old spot in Maia. Maia: 14:1. Sterope west of CS: 9:1. Sterope is good enough. Planting papyrus properly is important for yield.
• Fishing for research
  • Viticulture (highest priority now that barley and horticulture have been opened in Cilantro)
  • Barley Cult (trickledown after filling viti requirements)
  • Horticulture (trickledown after filling viti requirements)
• Public works - keeping stocked with carp blades and building new (relevant) buildings as techs open up - I can always use help with this!
• More research:
  • linen for Entomology
  • cabbage for Entomology
  • ACP
  • keeping the shelves stocked with basic resources for glass and metal for research
• Blacksmithing to hopefully make some more communal tools

Arame's Projects

• Cooking
  • Basic ingredients (veggies, etc.) done.
  • Only a few fish done.
  • Shrooms in stock were done.
  • Heavily using cabbage, mutton, honey, carrots.
• MPs
  • 43-46 are ready to eat (9/1/2010 @ 23:00 GMT-4). Starting to see a lot more hashes going through, but we should be in the high 30's/low 40's now, so the next PER point is in sight.
• Quarrying
  • Get some more quarries up, and maybe hit the ones we've got a bit as well.
  • Open up Pilgrim (7 different marbles, doable with some cook-able perception help).

Ideas for Camp Deco

• Level ground around Rahu's CP
• Level ground around Nekojin's CP
• Replace 4 Elephantia trees with another tree type (royal, hawthorn, stout?) coconut?
• Slightly enlarge sand spot near water
• If possible, add sand near/under Olofath's CP for ease-of-glass
• Statue on the island (which kind of statue? - a shark with laser beams of course)
• Small pond/puddle near Arame's CP for kettling (maybe between Detour & Arame, tubs & kettles)
• Fake papyrus all around our pond
• More vegetation near the apiaries?
• Flowers by Guild Hall cascading down hill

Anything else?
