It's been... two weeks? Since the attack? And life had kind of petered back to the same old shvt of trying to improve our pitiful human lives.

Rock and cobble were also starting to appear in most of our designs as our newly-established mines began to pick up some steam in terms of production. The previously wooden walls were now made of stone, and watchtowers now dotted the settlement's perimeters complete with an alarm system and some rudimentary sentries. And speaking of which...
