Glad to hear you're giving the game a try. For your yarn situation, I would definitely suggest getting more peasants. With only 4 peasants they will be so busy with the more important tasks that they'll almost never get around to doing things like spinning yarn. They will always deal with food related items first, since that is more vital to keeping your people alive.
The mine will work best when placed near rocks. Just like a quarry, the miner travels out to collect metal ore from the rocky portions of the map. I'm guessing there aren't rocks near your mine. > Hello all, > Well, after hearing some thing about castaways, I decided > to give it a try.
