day 3 is done and now i want to talk about some food changes
1st from now on everyone can eat a maximum of 4 meals a day sure 3 is the norm but we are logging and thats gotta count for and extra meal when you burn those kinds of stamina.
2nd despite previous changes to fish i put the stamina increase back to 10S per cooked fish. the reason being even if its the same stamina increase for same money at the general store there are cheaper methods to get fish and because of that there wasnt a reason to increase it on its own.
today we are introducing foraging into the game
now when you visit a forest you may do something other than chop down trees you can forage for mushrooms wild garlic and berries. foraging only takes .5 stamina each time you do so and you will randomly get 1 of the 3 items. 2 of which(mushrooms and berries) can be consumed for a small amount of stamina increase without the need for cooking it
(you also can forage multiple times in a single action number just like consuming multiple servings of a meal)
speaking of meals consuming these raw count as 1/2 a meal to your 4 meal limit however if you cook them with real meals like the jerky and beans,and fish then they will be included in the single meal of the main dish.
mushrooms give 2 stamina when consumed on their own raw
they give 3 stamina when cooked with something else
berries give 1.5 stamina when consumed on their own raw
they give 2 stamina when cooked with something else
wild garlic gives 2 stamina when cooked with something else
i am going to slowly expand cooking and extra ingredients to add to your meals to increase stamina
in doing so i am introducing an iron skillet you can purchase in the general store and is needed to add ingredients to your base meals
thats all for new info today.
for those just joining we have a format for creating actions in the game to help organize each entry better
it will still be labeled 1-15
but the 1st things on each action will be 1 of 3 statements
[travel] which means any movement within the map
[recover] which is any action taken that gives a positive stamina be it food or sleep
[action] which is any action that uses stamina thats not travel based
after choosing 1 of these 3 actions i want you to put the amount of stamina that has changed before writing about which it is.
for example
1 [action] .5S
then add whatever action was taken for the stamina change and lastly if there's something else you wanted to add to the action that doesn't require any stamina like collecting Marks or building a fire then you add that last.
also for travel please add the locations from and to after the stamina input
final examples
1 [action] .5S cutting a log
2 [travel] .5S B1-C1
3 [recover] 10S sleep
information resources
discord
guide to basics here
You must buy an axe before you can cut down any trees in the forest in order to buy an axe be sure to gather your 1st daily stipend at the logger boss office
sleeping without a sleeping bag or cabin = +10Stamina
Here is the map of the camp
you can see information about the camp and general store here C1
and information about the lumberyard and mill here C2
and information about crafting recipes here
20 logs per tree can be cut
Each of the 4 forest areas(a1,a2,b1,b2) are able to be logged for trees however we do not wish to destroy these forests therefore no more than 20%(13 trees total) of each block may be logged at any 1 time
The forest naturally grows back 5%(about 3 trees) every week
Forest assessment
A1 64/64 trees 13 more trees can be cut from this then it will become locked for logging until it recovers to +90%
A2 64/64 trees 13 more trees can be cut from this then it will become locked for logging until it recovers to +90%
B1 56/64 trees 5 more trees can be cut from this then it will become locked for logging until it recovers to +90%
B2 61/64 trees 10 more trees can be cut from this then it will become locked for logging until it recovers to +90%
the log quota for the month is 1280 logs turned in by everyone
Q-bits you will earn 1 Q-bit for every 10 logs turned into steve at the lumber yard in C2
you can immediately sell the Q-bit to the general store in C1 for 10Marks or you can wait 3 days and turn it back into Steve for 20Marks
there is 1 more thing you can do with Q-bits if you give up a Q-bit to Steve he will allow you to put up any group of game items you wish to sell for Steem
this does not require any stamina or being in the lumberyard
you simply at the end of your daily entry offer a Q-bit to steve and place a price on any items you wish to sell that you have on you to anyone for any amount of steem .01 up to 100 steem that Q-bit is worth keeping your items for sale for a single day so while several of you could do that today i would advise against it as what you have gathered is probably to you not worth losing out on 20 Marks in the future for upgrades and benefits im just letting you know the option is there now.
onto the story
Day 2 meetup
Steve visits everyone at camp this morning and says welp ive got good news and bad. good news you are all warm and dry today while working the bad news tonite we expect heavy rain so buckle up its going to be a wet morning tomorrow.
those that showed up to work good job we were able to exceed individual daily quotas
you all turned in a combined 50 logs on day 3 which puts us above the quota needed per day by everyone
that being said i hope with the new day ahead of us we will achieve even better results.
here is today's leaderboard results
Leaderboard
madeyearcher 38 logs
enjar 19 logs
allcapsonezero 17 logs
muscara 17 logs
fmbs25 12 logs
yeninsfer 12 logs
ratticus 9 logs
willsaldeno 6 logs
the01crow 6 logs
as you can we are starting to see some people pushing ahead of others.
that being said i will be updating this leaderboard each day and the top 3 people every week will earn a little bonus
and the top 10 people at the end of the month will earn a bigger bonus
so lets get out there and make this day even better alright?
1144 logs to go
be sure to check your profiles that were updated on day 3 and dont forget to drop by for your daily stipend from me in the lumberyard sometime today.
if you reach 0 stamina by doing to many actions before recovering you pass out for the day and wake up where you passed out with 10 stamina so lets try not to do that.

alright i originally gave you time to fix these mistakes but its sitting at 16 hours since then so im going to change them myself 1-7 stays the same but you cant cut down 4 trees at once max is 2 so im going to remove action 12 and 13 and you eating the fish otherwise you will overload your stamina by the time you sleep so your new actions past 1-7 are
8 [travel] 0.5S C2 - B2
9 [action] 5S Chop down tree
10 [action] 5S Chop down tree
11 [travel] 1S B2 - C1
12 [recover] 15S in sleeping bag in cabin!
this leaves you with 22.5 stamina for the morning and your fish still and 2 trees chopped down waiting for you in B2
