But the main news is Nippon Hamlet. Since last time I've added a house or two and a storehouse. I also included a dock and may do a defense tower, although with it being a small hamlet that seems unnecessary. Thus the settlement is nearly done, except that it needs lots more farmland. I have a hoe so all that's really left is to till the dirt, plant seeds, and profit off of it.
As mentioned in a previous post, I want to have something along the lines of electrical wires for in the World. Since currently no towns or villages exist that would feed power to the hamlet, I can't to that with Nippon.
In other news, I've tried out a new mod: the colony mod. It creates various NPCs who do work for you. At the moment I only have a lumberjack chopping down trees and planting saplings in a confined area. This will be useful for me because this is requiring much more wood than I anticipated. I was previously planting large amounts of trees in front of my tiny base then harvesting those, but the AI will simplify my endeavors. I repeatedly feel the need to say "Thank you" to the character but then remember... I'm the only sentient entity on this game.

Now some pictures of Nippon Hamlet! The description of each image immediately precedes it.
