SO SPEAKING OF LOGISTICS AND ALL THAT

In the time it took me to dig out, smooth, and engrave (with a single, legendary engraver) the first level of the great hall (33x21 tiles, 693 total) my legendary blacksmith produced 9 copper statues.  Only 3 were exceptional and none were masterwork.  The blacksmith had graciously gotten a fey mood and made a copper door adorned with circles of copper very early on so I have him all taken care of without having to make and smelt 1 billion copper chains or something to level him up.  But he's proven incapable of making a masterwork statue and I need TEN just to keep working on the project.  Twenty total for the top and bottom layers >>102535268 but I can't continue digging, smoothing, and engraving until he gets his ass in gear.

And on top of that, I still have to get at least 10 briolette cut gems to encrust the statues with.

I want the statues to be brass but I have no local source of zinc and maybe 7 zinc bars from buying and smelting cages after three years.  Also since there's no traders coming since I'm the last of my civilization, I can't order it in bulk.

So shit sucks for me.  Probably going to have to end up making copper statues, putting off brass ones encrusted with jewels as a long term project, and building some scaffolding floors to reach the insets at the top level.

and thanks for the impossible fucking captchas 4chan.
