Survey is just a prepareatory phase. IRL it’s important for major construction projects. There should be a step after the survey where you can give them a ton of materials to start building with. It will take much longer than three hours.

Yeah blacksmith is probably the longest one to build. You can check me out doing it with debug in this [video](https://studio.youtube.com/video/QBgxMpecQ7M/edit).

had to figure this out too
go to the camp director guy and tab over to the direction(NW,S,E,etc.) of the blacksmith
also blacksmith has like fifteen upgrades so expect to sink a lot into it

You can only have 1 companion on certain missions at a time. I’m not 100% sure why acidia did that but I haven’t started experimenting with changing that.
When you recover the log cutter, there should be a huge stack of logs appearing immediately under your character’s feet. If that didn’t happen, that’s a bug.
