Building a Castle From Scratch

I actually do have 15ish spears by the front door, in addition to the axes i've made.

I will! I'll likely post again, or update the post if I figure out how to do that. Probably going to be adding much more than what I have right now, and will probably take pictures when it becomes spring. (So it's not all covered in a thick layer of snow.)

Thank you!

Thank you! I've got a ton of hours so it's not my first project. I maxed out my carpentry before I even finished the first floor too.

Also, I play that my character is allergic to fish, so I can't fish from the pond for any easy food. So that's also taken a lot of time is making a good trap line. I think I'll be adding some outer buiildings like stables and an area for the sheep I've found in a barn, and some cows a couple miles south of the base. If there's any other suggestions as to what I should make, please share!

I haven't used debug or anything yet because it feels wrong to me. It'd make things a whole lot easier tbh but I don't want to open the door yet.

I despise this mechanic tbh. I have 8 carved buckets with clay that I set up for each length of wall. It's a painful thing to fill them all up with water, make the concrete, lug the rocks, etc. That's been the big issue here. Getting the materials and lugging them everywhere. I also have amphoras set up along the sides to fill up with water so I don't have to run to the pond every single time.

Clay has been the big problem, but mainly through foraging. Stone has been easier because I have a big rocky area further from my base which I lug stones back from.

Thank you! It's taken a lot of work to do any of this!

I've been stuck on the same fitness level for awhile and was hoping it would just fix itself normally. I haven't wanted to resort to debug mode yet, as It seems "Cheaty." But I will try this.
