Day 686: time to do more exploring

Day 686:

Now that I’ve got this entire square mapped out and my map is full — and the lawn is cut and the river is mined and the ores I found are safely tucked away and the duckens have multiple tenfold again — it’s time to do a little more exploring.

I’ve explored approximately a quarter of a map length to the west in earnest, and most of that was while going after sheep (which I succeeded to do!). So I know there’s some swamp and a mountain in that general direction, but that’s about it. My goal is to build another big rectangular road out of all this wood and then explore within it, safely, or as safely as I can. There’s another dark forest to the west and I have to say getting blown up is getting pretty old, so I expect to be chopping down many trees.

But first, the bridge building. It looks like the river/sea thing to my direct north is way wider than my map can handle, so I’m about to build a whole lot of bridge. Wish me luck!
