Now that we have the watermine, we should focus on getting everybody some levels by passing inits and principles for the tests, and helping poem with his obelisk (COMPLETE - We now have the largest phallic symbol in Kush). Since you can't really put that in a bulleted list, i've drawn up this instead:

Things we might conceivably want to build in the near-to-middle future now that the watermine is up, roughly in the order of difficulty/necessity:

• Preparing an MCB firing. Things we should make for the firing listed below (add your own if there's something you can think of. Now's the time.)
  • 30 Medium Gears
  • 40 Small Gears
  • 4 Large Gears
  • 50 Bearings
  • 2 Iron Pots
  • Total needed materials: 740 iron, 80 brass, 100 bronze, 1120 beeswax

• Several Brick Machines (quite expensive but can make bricks while you're offline or do something more fun)
  • 50 Boards
  • 40 concrete
  • 40 Bearings - need bronze
  • 4 Iron Bar
  • 4 Copper Sheeting
  • 4 Small Gears - need brass
  • 2 Medium Gear - 20 iron each

• 1 or more (depending on how much papyrus we feel like growing) Indonesian Bee Hives
  • 12 Linen
  • 200 Clay
  • 2 baskets

• Several Greenhouses to make feeding our camels easier. These are immensely expensive because of the sheet glass so they're not a priority
  • 32 Sheet Glass
  • 1 Thermometer
  • 500 Dirt
  • 6 Canvas
  • 60 Water in Jugs

and, lastly, our crowning achievement:

• the Flax Gin
  • 4 Baskets
  • 150 Oil
  • 100 Leather
  • 60 Rope
  • 40 Small Gears
  • 20 Bearings
  • 8 Flystone
  • 2 [Full Eye Turquoise]?

Recently completed goals

• 3 more Kettles, COMPLETED

• Student's Forge UPGRADED, COMPLETED

• 1 Fleet Furnace to smelt quicksilver for the thermometers we'll need. These take 24 hours to fire so I don't want to use a public one. (COMPLETED)

• 1 Gem Cutting Table to slice up whatever comes out of the mine (COMPLETED)

• 1 Grain Oven (COMPLETED)
• Several Kettles for making potash for glass and barley growing stuff 1 (COMPLETED), we'll make more later

• 1 Reactory for making alloys (COMPLETED)

Besides these useful and attractive buildings, there's some other stuff we can and ought to do now that there's quite a few of us:

• Help each other pass inits. Thought is a given, Worship is pie with Chin's guide and we can at least give a significant boost to everybody's leadership petitions and sculptures.
• Quarry marble - We've started doing this already
• Dowse for a copper mine of our very own - we have several now
• Rearrange our guild compound, which is kind of a trainwreck at the moment. We'll do this as soon as poem's obelisk is up, since we can get rid of some of our flaxing infrastructure then. We could do this by tearing down/rebuilding the cheap stuff and learning to love the more expensive buildings where they are now, OR we could bribe somebody who's level 28 or higher to pick up 2 hours of Eastern Meditation to move our stuff around. The materials for this are:
  • 100 Bricks
  • 6 Cut Stone
  • 10 Concrete - we'll have to mix some to upgrade our brick machines and the flax gin, so I'm sure we'll have some left over
  • 1 Cut Citrine:Dalessi - I'm pretty sure I can cut these with some practice, luckily we already have a lot of citrines
  • 1 Orange Sweetgrass - I think we'll have to trade for this

If you have any ideas about the future layout of our compound, please post them in the thread in Games. Future expansion will probably be towards the north, as the slope makes it taper off too much toward the south.
