●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
**workers**
the back bone in every colony. every week you can move your workers around. workers can only do one job a week. workers cant do quests alone.
most workers is eating one food a week. more advance buildings need 2 food.
the player is and better worker you don't eat food and you can do quests.

**how to get workers.**
its two ways. silver is a rare resource you can get it in mining you need a silver mine or in questing and trade.
you need 5 silver to hire one worker the next one is 10 and 15 and so on.

40 sp 3 workers
80 sp 4 workers
160 sp 5 workers
340 sp 6 workers

**how much  resources make my workers.**
lumberjack and miner has a 1-6 dice (the game doing it) +-Modifiers 
Forager has a 1-4 (the game doing it) +-Modifiers 
special buildings make a stable amount 
NB: you need a silver mine to get silver.

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
**your first 3 weeks.**
wood is the most important in the beginning.
Recommend and hire a lumberjack from the silver you are starting with.
and put him to work. you have 3 weeks of food in the colony so u don't need to worry immediately.
The player. starting quest or Build the fireplace/bed.
normally you will find some food and some weapons on the Discovered the immediate area (easy) so this is good to start with. also this will unlock the specialty of your colonye. and maby its better to mine stone and selling it to get more  wood faster. the outpost is always trades resources.
all colonists has +- Modifiers on their wood ,stone and a food specialty.
