My friend didn't have a farm-house. I was thinking about building him one but we also thought about a mill. Then, a powerful neighbouring miner came back to the game I think. I was doing something at my base and I heard "stranger-danger", someone at the village was running around so I didn't pay much attention to it untill I saw something purple standing at my wall, I almost jumped at my chair and wrote "SOME PRO AT OUR GATE" xD It was a Russian and we were writing with a google translator. He remembers original owners of my village so he must been there for a long time! Later I asked if he has 5 pieces of some low q wrought iron so we can create a level 5 minehole.... he passed me a 150q one so I was like omg, maybe I'll create some sword out of it. i was thinking to maybe hide it somewhere on my alt or some cupboard but I went down to my level 4 and put it into a stockpile.. the thing is,
I got somehow robbed out of it. Ive just built the level 4 at that time and I didn't claim it yet... and I left the gate open by a mistake when I went to sleep, totally forgetting about that wrought iron. A GOOD WEEK LATER, I was like - wtf, where is the wrought iron? I looked at every container, every stockpile and it was gone.. I totally forgot about it, thinking its lying down somewhere. I was like wtf, someone had to snatch it while the gate was open. Other than the claim, I improved my cave defense by introducing Visitor Gates too. So I was really surprised because I thought these cave tunnels are totally forgotten and inactive. I also suspected one of my neighbour that had a free access to my village, I mean that when he was traveling down and top the minehole, he got blocked by the stockpile, took it, saw 5 pieces of W.Iron, thought to himself - hmm nice and took it lol.. but I also suspect some stranger because at one point, I saw some q50 ore near level 3 gate was thrown out, I mean someone was there, checked what's it and thrown it off after seeing its some low q ore. I asked my villagers and noone of them had done it, I think they wouldnt throw off any ore on the ground. So perhaps someone was stalking area close to my walls.
I had to admit to my neighbour what happened to his. w.iron and he showed me a lot of iron veins with various qualities. I've gained a new iron by smelting and I hope the new owner of that previous w.iron uses it well
When I built the blue curio/bedroom house to accomodate new villagers from an earlier post, I held my villagers rope-hostage if you such a phrase even exists. They couldn't produce ropes. I had to smash two rope walks.. I mean, the location of the new curio house was about to be directly at the place of the old rope walk. I smashed it to prepare the area, paved the ground and went to sleep. Next day, I see an another rope walk built at excatly the same place.. Well, noone quessed it was smashed for a reason. had to smash it again and I built the house but I didnt remake the ropewalk somewhere else yet... because I was supposed to visit a certain local market, buy a new good high q saw and make a high q rope-walk using boards cut with this new saw.. I was busy and delayed the travel for a few days, in the meantime I heard - hurr durr where is the ropewalk, my answer was obvuously - Don't do a shitty q15 ropewalk again! I'm building it... soon... someday.. xd
But eventaully I made the travel because we were preparing to buil a mill as we got the mentioned iron.. This was a little backstory to it, including the robbery - the mill will be in yet another post
I moved the ropewalk into this tiny corner that touches an useless rocky ground that cannot serve for much or even be paved on hat I'm now trying to use for stockpiles. I used a stone fence instead of paving to make it look a bit more pretty and organised.
