Four of Hearts:

What important and basic tools does the community lack?

Due to the Oxen that once pulled them dying off ploughs hav entirely been repurposed, the metal going into them used for other things. This makes the backbreaking work of extracting food from the land even harder, and while the abundant land helps farming propser it still takes a lot of man hours to tend to.

dangelo: Large families are necessary to work on their farms and to deal with child mortality

lacco36: We should explore the forests a bit more. What use are large families if we only farm? There may be lots of resources we are missing by sitting here!

Luccan: I agree that larger families means a possibility of tasks other than farming. At the very least, the village should be familiar with the area around their community.

JbeJ: Large families are indeed useful, all hands are needed in the planting and growing season and this helps them use the land to its greatest possible effect, if they focus on that.
