Things that stand on the ground

Trees, boulders, fires, furniture and workstations: each stands on one tile.

Growing and lying about

ThingMade fromAbout
Spruce—A tall Norway spruce, the commonest tree of the Estonian forest. An axe will fell it for logs. Slow going between the trunks.
Boulder—A granite boulder left behind by the glaciers. Something heavy will break it into fieldstones.
Spruce stump—The stump of a felled spruce. Left alone, a seedling comes up beside it; chop it out with an axe to clear the ground.
Young spruce—A young spruce, knee-high. In a while it will be a tree worth felling.
Pine—A Scots pine, tall and straight with a crown of blue-green needles. It grows on dry and sandy ground. Felled, its resinous stump is what tar is burned from.
Pine stump—The stump of a felled pine, heavy with resin. Chop it out with an axe for stumpwood, the stuff of the tar pit.
Young pine—A young pine, knee-high.

Fire, charcoal and tar

ThingMade fromAbout
Campfire—Split firewood burning in a ring of fieldstones. Stand close to get warm; feed it firewood to keep it going.
Cold ashes—A ring of blackened stones round grey ash and bits of charcoal, where a fire burned out. Lay firewood on it to light a new one.
Stove—A big stove of fieldstones and clay. In a barn-dwelling it is the kiln-stove, with no chimney: it heats the room, dries the grain and smokes the rafters black. The household keeps it lit from evening until morning; anyone may feed it firewood.
Fieldstone stove6 fieldstonesA stove of fieldstones and clay, built by hand. Feed it firewood: it heats the room and lights it.
Charcoal stack8 pieces of firewoodFirewood stood on end in a tight dome, ready to be covered with turf and fired. Click it to light it.
Smouldering charcoal stack—A charcoal stack under its turf, smouldering slowly. Opened too soon it would burn away to ash; leave it until the smoke stops.
Charcoal heap—The stack has burned through: a black heap of charcoal under the raked-off turf. Click it to rake the charcoal out.
Tar pit4 fieldstonesA funnel-shaped pit lined with stones. Fill it with pine stumpwood, cover it and fire it, and the tar runs out at the bottom into a keg.
