#i don't even know what a grackle is I'll need to look it up

[soryualeksi]

Made new fort in new world (to try out a few really cool mods for plants and dyes lmao), put it north of the northern-most (is that a word) place that currently exists. We have glaciers and snow all year round, also sometimes a yeti?? comes by.

Our fort doesn't attract any migrants in any season. We're in our year two and had the reo (?) pre-programmed migrant waves and then nothing.

However.

We get a CONSTANT stream of bards, poets, and performance troupes? I'm talking "like every week" constant??

A lot of them petition for residency???

So half of my glacier fort is now performers????

My apparently famous tavern (The Tin Sugars) might I add, is still a few squares stomped into the Sandy Loam layer because we have ALL the aquifiers immediately under the dirt and digging goes SLOW. We have two tables and chairs from chestnut. We have one chest. Also from chestnut.

I'm rolling with it, in particular because visitors seem to spike in the even-colder months, and now my lore is that people are just SO happy to find a warm place in the frozen Wilderness (it's Wilderness, yay, we have Giant Elks and Giant Grackles) that they're go, "I'm NEVER LEAVING AGAIN".

Now let's just hope the naked goblins start picking up some clothes if I make them in their size.

(Also a Giant Grackle just "grabbed" one of the human poets "by the upper front teeth" with a wing. Huh.)
