Villages Beta Guide

Note to Testers
    Due to the current condition of the bot I'll be running the old style of the game.  The old game had the exact same sort of game play, just slightly less detail as its mechanics were designed to be processed by hand, rather than a bot.  The bot for the full version of the game actually works fine, it just has a couple easy to fix problems that will be fixed as soon as Droog.h's school schedule calms down.  While the full bot-driven game can handle an unlimited amount of resources and items, I can not handle such a load by hand.

Common Resources
Lumber - Processed wood, now ready for use in construction and crafting
Food - There are many ways to get food, from fishing to farming to picking nuts, but the end result is a single resource you can eat.
Stone - Rough freshly quarried stone that can be used for foundations but requires further refining to be used as a construction material.
Blocks - Finished stone blocks that make an extremely durable building material.
Malachite - An attractive mineral containing large amounts of copper.
Copper - A simple metal smelted from Malachite ore.
Cassiterite - A mineral containing large amounts of tin.
Tin - Although not very useful on its own, tin can be combined with copper to make bronze.
Bronze - A very useful metal made from copper and tin.
Durabronze - An extremely advanced bronze alloy that requires a large technological infrastructure to produce.

Common Products
Furniture - Made from lumber, furniture is an important product representing anything from beds to work-benches to pulleys.
Tools (Copper, Bronze, Durabronze) - A highly abstracted but much sought after product, tools represent anything from a saw to a bag of nails.
