REFUGEVILLE

Honestly all boxes seem clearly supernatural and linked to the Signet in some way sinc they were listed on one of their document (and one of the, the onemaking ghoul at ast was likely made by them so it'd make sense the others would be as well), so they are all potentialy dangerous.

1) The meat box is the most 'obvious' both in fnction and level of danger.
Lots of ghouls are bad, ad our people arevery unlikely to be ready for such a danger?
So I agree we should ster clear of it. For now
However, there are a few things to consider:

• One: even left alone, it's a long term danger as well. The more ghouls it produces, the more will eventualy wander near our village. It jsut takes one to make its alarm call and call moe of it's firends and refugeville will become ghoulallyoucaneatbuffet town. The earlier we can take this thing out one way or another, the better.
  
• Two: This box has to make these ghoul out of /something likely.so that mean either some meat (good for food reserves) or people to free

2)The plant box seems to have absorbed all plants of an entrie forest into itself
We have no idea what could be the dangers of it. it could be guarded. It could absorb any limal aproaching it and compress into it's mass.
The most likely 'reward' would be lots of wood. Which would be /great for building. Also maybe we could get lots of plants and seeds from it.

3)now the god box and the brain box... these to ae pretty mysterious.
We can sooort of infer tht the god box has sometign to do with deities (well duh, it's int he name.) and the brin box with knowlege and/or mind butwhat exactly hell if we can know.
However i there's one thing i learned from Mayu's other adventures, it's that anything that look like a brain is somthig you should steer clear off. (PS: You should really update in AOD one of these days)
Also that empty town and that rotten egg tents on the way do NOT inspire confidence, but still we'll will have to go and explore them eventualy.

So plant box and god box are my favorite choices there.

On an unrelated matter i also would like to start adressing the topic of food:
For now we have plenty of meat (but unconsumed meat rot sooner or later if it's not smoked, salted or frozen in some way.) and a decent source from hunting and fishing but that on't last forever. Especialy since it seems all the Signet project and expriment does seem to complelty destroy the environement sooner or later...

It would be nice of some of our villager could try not imediatly slaughtering the rabbits when they catch them. There are not a lot of trees but grass seems still pretty plentifull so easy to keepand breed some in some cages.

We should also smoke or Jerk some of the meat we have over fire. Making a smoking rack.
Eventualy even maybe a full on smokehouse (it could double as an altar for that dead fire god..)

And plant some of those tapioca sapling

Are we able to build a second shrine at all?

They're made of crystal (i assume they need to be made of that toprocure a god's blessing otherwise anyone could make one and they wouldn't be worth anything). So most likely we'll have to wait for Kori to procure another for sale or find another for now.
That said the abandoned city near the god box might have one that uld be salvaged perhaps ?

Come to think of it the abandned city mightcntain tools as well, showvels and hoes would be great to keep digging that underground basement and start agriculture (even has a waolf there's only so much one can dig with their own h.. paws) but really anything that could be salvaged would be great.
(hell eventualy int he future, it's that much cnstruction material and stone that could etaken too, but tht's for much later

So abandoned city to explore an that put us near the god box
