Introduction: The ManagerGranite, 501 The early spring of this lizard infested forest is affecting the cheerfulness nature of Sanctume Tradetested. Sanctume is a dabbling organizer who applies for the Manager position in this, Outpost Deathgame, because the lucrative Gelders Union jobs is non-existent here. She arrived just last autumn and the current population of 18 is a healthy start for a thriving community in need of a noble Manager.
Upon attaining the noble position of Manager for a one year contract, it is time to work on raising her organizational skills by first looking at the personnel roster.
Blahsadfeguie is our expedition leader and will be busy cutting down trees that block the sky (and trees that house lizards, I might add). He will definitely need extra wood cutters eventually so ‘Woodcutter’
Zan is added to the ranks of wood cutters.
I then commissioned a couple of wood burners:
Asmel and
Ral to churn out charcoal for the rest of their dwarfy lives.
‘
HMetal’ and
Erush are our current miners that will start excavating the perimeter of The Orchard, and my “bonus surprise” project. But this digging will be after digging out all the tetrahedrites found in vein z112. I want to make use of copper and silver soon.
‘Forge’
Asen is the master of the forge that will take care of our metal work needs.
‘
Onciblu’ our broker will join ‘Mason’
Nish to make plenty of gabbro blocks. An outdoor construction will need plenty of building materials. I sure will not make log walls only for lizards to live in. I dislike lizards.
‘Carp’ Carpenter
Morul, and record keeper
Urist L will handle wood workings.
‘Cmdr’
Rovod, our militia commander will continue hunting once we make more ammo. She will be joined by ‘Kea’
Iton in her pursuit to also be a great hunter. Kea is an honorable title for those who wield crossbows to protect us from flying vermins such as keas. Unfortunately, Cmdr Rovod stared me to shame, so I will only give the titles to would be crossbow recruits such as Iton.
‘Farmer’
Fath will handle whatever farm plots are seeded, but will most likely focus on gathering plants.
‘Cook’
Lor is assigned as the cook, although there will be no cooking done any time soon. He will work on the hauling needs.
‘Mech’
Medtob will continue making mechanisms.
I,
Sanctume, your administrator will want an office excavated soon. I will also help out making booze in between drinking and sleep, oh and managing orders.
Chapter 1: The ProjectsSpeaking of drinks, we have 93 drinks and 613 food stores. This is not acceptable! Carpenters, make me beds and barrels until I say otherwise--we have plenty of logs.
I look over our mighty military squad, "
The Tongs of Appearing" which is composed of her lonesome self, Cmdr Rovod who sporting a plain copper crossbow. The tetrahedrite vein must be harvested now so that we have some weapon grade alloys to work with. I did not express my sadness at this sad state, so I try to gain favor of Cmdr Rovod as I explained that I will ensure more bolts are made soon so she can resume hunting.
We have no hospital, and Miner Erush is the most qualified novice diagnostician. Congratulations Chief Medical Dwarf Erush! I hope no one becomes injured this year. I estimate the hospital project to start after summer, at least I hope to get to working on it in my schedule.
Since my office is not yet available, I removed all non-critical stockpiles except for wood, ores, and food, and begin making some booze.
Project: Stone Clean UpThis will be quite a huge task, and it is a good thing I want plenty of gabbro blocks. The masons will set a temporary shops to make use of all the stones into blocks in excavated rooms.
First, the room nearest the entrance hall.
Next, the room across The Cloud Monastery temple which is crowded with worshiping chickens, ducks, turkeys and dogs. The fanatic
Ral seems to hangout here a lot. There is also a tunnel leading to an attempt to breach for water. I have stopped this silliness.
And by the forge area which works initially, and must be upgraded to specialized areas eventually for the sake of organizing.
Speaking of forge, I cancelled the current smelting order, including the pig iron. It would be a mistake to make all the iron bars into into pig iron. That is why this place needs a manager to validate each work order. We must not let rogue furnace operators go on a wild smelting spree.
Project: The OrchardI designated my plans for The Orchard. It is the maximum size for a pasture zone. I plan to drop the piece of earth, hopefully with the trees intact, down below the stone level, and build the frames for future skylights above. I did order for the highwood and ginko trees to be cut and leave edible fruit and nuts.
Project: Bonus SurpriseI also might as well designate plans for my bonus surprise project. It's a secret, so no images but the miners, engravers, masons and mechanics will be plenty busy.
Side Project: Nestbox AreaI also redesign the rather luxurious nest box area. We have fowls, so that should lessen the need to plant. Add a milk and cheese station, butcher and tanner, and a garbage disposal system.
