I am gearing up for a modor fight and went to the plains to get deathsqutio needles, saw a village and said "fuck it, may as well try" a few days of gathering wood, 1-2 days to build the fortification. I got scared when my first challenger was a 2 star berserker who instantly shattered my gate but was alone so I beat it effectively.
What is in the chest was the haul from building the fort and the raid. I got both barley and flax so I can start a farm for that before I could even make use of it. Feels good knowing I can start a healthy farm of those resources before actually needing them.
