So I bought blocks of potash, and yeah it's in the screens to use as building material. So I screwed that up, thanks.
I have my food stocks all broken down in seperate piles. Plants, drinks, seeds etc. I am using the Stocks menu to track what I have and the seeds just seem to go down. I have about 15 empty bags. (I bought 30 to start - sold my anvil and bought lots of food and bags.)
Does flooding the farm plots help yields? I'm planting in sandy clay loam. I get plants and bushes just fine. Flooding would be pretty easy..I have lots of ponds.
No glass works, no metal forge and haven't gotten a well in yet. (only my second real try at building a fortress, I ended up flooding my first when I tapped into a river before I got the flood gates built)
I have another big problem, my Hunter quit hunting. Everything other than butchery is turned off, he has armor, shield and a crossbow and bolts. He just idles. I know he hunted in the first year, then I had him cutting trees for awhile, and now he wont hunt.
