Well, I'm not sure what I'm doing anyway. Someone stole my Rustroot so I want to make some more and check the cave for a mine, if the cave does in fact have a mine then I'll stay and begin to replant the trees that I so carelessly cut.
The area has some great benefits though, I have Q47 water in a well, chickens, cows, sheep, and two abandoned settlements to the north. The abandoned settlement has a land claim but half of the palisades are decaying and the other has a 12x12 field or so of pumpkin and poppy seeds.
