Forgot to post, sorry, lets just assume I smelted up all that iron, I don't want to have to make a big chunk about systematically liquidating the ore, seperating the iron, ect

A few days later, repeating almost the same routine, with no notable events occuring, I felt confident in my abilities in using my crossbow, and decided to use my iron for a purpose. I was constantly running out of bolts for ammunition, either through use or carelessness. The bolts I had were crude and I found them occasionally on the ground, probably from previous inhabiters of the island. On the first day on the island, I had found a stone structure with no roof, I had no idea what it was used for and at the time I thought it was just an oddly shaped iron deposit and moved on. Now I was certain it was a ruined forge which I could potentially use to smelt the chunks of iron I had to make iron bolts,which was also proof of earlier inhabitants, maybe even hidden technology.

Possible tidbit we might want to vote on later hidden advanced technology/magik on Flax, but having some random destroyed stone structures which I fix up isn't going to affect the course of history that much is it?

The next day I journeyed out to the island, and sure enough, I found the ruins and I found a usable stove and almost perfect anvil and pieces of yellow bendy sticks, probably wheat, which came from other islands. Over the next couple days, I dismantled the structure and brought the bricks and components to my base complex and reassembled it, complete with a banana leaf roof, then finally started on the bolts. The first few were terrible, and would never fire straight, but after a few hours I got good at it and fired more accurately than the crude ones I had found on the ground.

''I should have probably cleared this with you guys first, but I don't want to keep this post waiting any longer. I just imagined flax to have a thicker forest with tropical plants, because it has all those flax flowers and herbs. If you guys disagree we can overlook the tropical theme of this post, but I think flax would be pretty boring without a forest. Plus, if this is going to be a bit more realistic than the actual game, apples and berries can't be the only fruits in the world of S303.''
