orders from the Landing Fort-cities need more logs. goal is to build a trade fort to ship 5,000 logs. the fort will be surrounded by farms.to do this,i’ll build a huge Gatherer wharehouse to store the logs.this is goal #1. if this goes well, i may add more goals after completing the log order.
8 bannies with their families were sent to build the fort.2 surveyors to map the area, an officer to oversee the work,a messenger to report back to the fort and escort nomads2 farmers ,,a blacksmith, and a tailor.the fort was established next to a huge mountain ridge. they will quarry marble to trade for seeds and livestock.
we spent the 1st 10 years building up the fort. it has a church,school,doc and mayor ‘s office,tavern,general market, a nordic market to bring the logs in, and a huge gatherer wharehouse. there are 2 trade posts,a farm trader and general goods post. a random mine and marble quarry work nearby. the fort has the daily news office for the nomad escorts,a post office for the officer,a map office for the surveyors,a barber shop, a coffee house,an undertaker,a deli,and a land claim’s office. the shop houses by KIDD really make the fort and other areas come to life. this is a neat concept that he added to the modding world.

YEAR 10-20
to produce more tools, a RH blacksmith was built to make rough tools. the RK smith will smelt iron and copper.an iron ore mine was also needed.
our plan was to build the vanilla, CC new tree and hardwood foresters south of the fort between the main river and a stream .a hunter hut works between them and gatherers are set up in each. a small chapel was built to keep the forest workers happy.between the fort and forests, a thatch meadow will be planted. the hay will feed livestock. honey can be collected from the bees that pollinate the grass.
we are behind on our goal, but have shipped 700 logs. now that the forests are planted, we will be able to send more logs quicker.
these show many of KID’s shop houses from a couple mod sets.they function as houses but look like shops. a fun and neat concept.

YEAR 20-25
we planted the 3 pine mod forests to the east of the CC forests. a paper mill works on the stream between the 2 sets. it will use the flax gathered from the forests and from a nearby field of flax. a CC weaver makes the linen. a small village was built near the mill. it has a school,church,and a small market.
we added a 3rd trading post to move the paper. a cart helps haul logs to the fort. we began extending farms west of the fort.more barns were built to store the marble and coal.
we shipped 800 more logs throughout the last 5 years.

YEAR 26-30
an ND forest outpost forest and a tiny forest are planted to the west.the forests have a FO school and church. these FO buildings do require thatch to be built. this mod is higher in the mod order so that it sets the houses to burn thatch as firewood.we also expand more farms.
the fort continued adding more shop houses.there is a barber,bank,and an odd and ends store.
we have many seeds. we have traded for pigs,longhorns,and dairy cows.
we have shipped a total of 2700 logs

YEAR 30-35
to the north, a KID workplace and combo forest plant in 1 canyon. a RK fodder hut works the other canyon.a sawmill was needed to cut the lumber for its construction. beekeepers work the meadow to bring in more honey.
the fort walls were completed.it also added a barn to dry the tobacco.we have shipped the 5000 logs.
that took longer than it was suppose to. my original idea was to ship half the logs produced each year starting in year 10. when i set the Gatherer wharehouse to store the logs, i hit iron by mistake. several years went by before i caught my mistake. by then we had a tool shortage. trying to salvage it and catch up the logs caused a domino effect for more years.
the north forests needed a tiny church.while there, the builders built a small school and hospital. the north farms planted 2 wheat fields and a veggy field. they also added a grain mill and a veggy sorter.there is enough food,that we did away with the 2 fort fields.
goal #1 completed- 5000 logs shipped
#2 was to build the paper mill which is functioing well.

YEAR 35 FOREST DIVERSITY
most of the forests have had time to plant more trees and fill in. i can show you the diversity of the different forests. i did not plant the bamboo,palm tree, or orchard forests.
with this mod order setup, i have wild animals per the RK EC mod. ducks,pheasant,bison,deer,bear,boars,and elk. many berries per both the RKEC and pine mods.there are traps that give furs and pelts. we have eggs from wild birds or ducks,2 labels of these in the inventory.there are fiddleheads and chanterellas from the pine mod. firewood,seedlings,flowers,cotton, and thatch spawn per the RKEC. with TANDY’s flora mod ,we have rose hips,wild honey from bees and wild oats. flax grows as well.the bannies will also collect onions,mushrooms,and roots.all these items are scattered on the map.some may die off over time.some will continue to regrow on their own.
the different forests do spawn different items. a KID forest will spawn roots and onions more than a pine mod forest for example. so the odds of what spawns or grows in each of these forests is different.
the CC hardwood is used to make fancy furniture.KID’s ND FO
these forests give many options of different tools,trade goods,foods,or clothing that can be produced.

YEAR 36 and 37
what do i show you next? i’ll extend the paper mill village to include the pine mod producers. since we have the items,we may as well use them.this will be the 3rd goal. we will continue shipping 500 more logs per year.
a pine spinner makes twine from flax.the blacksmith makes bough tools.the loom makes more linen.the furrier hut makes fur coats.a maple boiler and cider press work to supply a maple whiskey still.a boathouse will make fishing nets from the flax. a kiln and turpentine still will use pine resin and boughs to make turpentine.the pine village has a townhall,church,school,and a market.
the fort adds a bakery to use flour from the north grain fields. a butcher shop will process meat from the hunters.there is also a jail.

YEAR 38 and 39
goal #4-soon, the mines will need candles or lamps to be dug deeper. we also have the CC hardwood and plenty of linen. so a town will be built to the east of the fort between the river and lake.we’ll build several of the CC processors.
the CC town has a sawmill to cut lumber,a joiner that makes fancy furniture from the hardwood, a CC butcher to provide tallow for the CC candlery,and a small CC town market. the CC town has RK country houses.a cooper makes the crates needed for the pipe tobacco.the town is well fed with a quay fishery and meat locker.
this is a 1.06 version of CC. we see no issues yet. the lumber is working and only shows 1 tag in the inventory.
we have shipped 7000 logs.this filled the wharehouse and another was built.

YEAR 40 REVIEW
Goal #1-build a fort surrounded by farms and the forests to ship 5000 logs. and showcase the diversity of the forests. completed
#2- build the paper mill to test the mod order adjustment. this works fine completed
#3-build the pine mod processors completed
#4- build several of the CC processors ongoing
population 364,196 workers and 61 students in 95 houses. everyone is well fed with a varied diet.the fort trades of paper,marble,pipe tobacco, twine, fishing nets,fancy furniture from the hardwood, and turpentine. we are using more logs now.this is slowing down our blacksmiths. we will need to plant another forest soon. we have huge amounts of textiles. furs,flax,and pelts are being colleted way faster than the processors can use them.
we can plant cucumbers,corn, oats,wheat,sunflowers,potatoes,roots,field onions,squash,tomatoes,sugar beets, veggy’s, blueberries,blackberries,apples,peaches,strawberries,grapes,maple trees,field berries,rockmelons, as well as flax and tobacco. there are pigs,chickens,leghorns,leghorns, and dairy cows.
the effects of the DS IND mod do not show up well. we did improve the health with more grain. as long as we avoid filling churches, the bannies continue working.
the combined mods of RKEC,DS IND, and CC NF are working well together so far. i do want to continue some tests of the older 1.06 CC processors. this mod order does give many options.CC added their dock set after this version,so i may make a couple small adjustments later.

YEAR 40-49
before we continue building the CC town, we increase log outputs. a KID tiny forest with storage is added to the far north. it has a herbalist and gatherer working in it. a 2nd maple forest is planted west near the other pine forests.to further help our tool situation, a blacksmith is built at the CC town.we did delay the log shipments by 1 year.
a school,parish church,cemetary,and colonial town hall were built for the CC town. 2 shore houses work to bring in sand and clay.a KID tiny quarry and mine bring in more stone and coal.
we have issues.we traded for beeswax that can not store in the CC candle shop.this can not be solved with mod order. it is due to the CC mod using the 1.06 limit flags.for now the bannies will use tallow for the candles. this does slow down our coal and stone productions. the brickworks and glass works will not except materials either even thou they are being dug with a CC shorehouse.the brick and glass will have to be made using a RK or DS building.the CC potter fails to accept the clay.the bedding maker fails to accept cloth.the shipyard fails to accept lumber.the saltinghouse fails to accept salt.the preservist will not accept glassware.
this CC brickworks will make coke fuel from coal that is needed by the DS draft kiln. the kiln will make bricks. a DS blacksmith will begin making items needed for more DS buildings.a DS hearth was built to make anvils and iron fittings. a RK glass maker made glass for the Nordic market then glassware.
with our housing way behind and this masny failed buildings, i will stop here. the candle shop issues with beeswax put us way behind on stone.the butcher is not making tallow very fast.hence the RK random quarry is waiting for candles before it can be dug deeper. i continued building the CC town while waiting but more issues have happened.
will need to make some adjustments. made huge gains in the mod order and was able to get the CC processors to function with the other mods.
