New Faction with Digging Specialisation
-Start with unique digger flag, to dig out a block of earth. This digging is mainly to get the dirt resource much sooner in the game. Although you can eventually remove a block of earth, it takes a very long time, so it’s still worthwhile to get dynamite later.
-A 2x2 dirt pile, less efficient than late game dirt pile, to store early dirt.
-Their version of the dam and levee have a reduced log cost, but requires dirt.
-Their unique dwellings are underground. You can build over them, except for a square or two which is the entrance.
-Give this faction the underground warehouse (and give the Folktail silos instead).
-They can place new blocks of earth sooner than other factions, and without golems. Golems can still be useful to operate the digging machine, which can generate dirt faster.
-Possibly allow digging tunnel through elevated terrain. To reduce new mechanics: tunnels are linear and have watertight doors that can't be used while flooded.
-Beaver statue made of clay (dirt).

Faith MergedAn idea I had for a new beaver faction that I feel would add a huge amount of diversity into the game is what I have come to call the Earth Shapers.

Their unique feature would be to better utilize the dirt that is taken for granted by the other factions. This is accomplished via a variety of means, including but not limited to:
- Early Earth Shaper flag (IE- Lumberjack like)
- Unique ability to make compact dirt blocks that can be placed with air below it.
- Faction Housing below ground (Vary depth for Capacity)
- Compact dirt made by unique building earned around mid game (X amount of dirt compressed into 1)
- Tunnels and caves made by digging dirt out from below it.
- No access to Dynamite as they view it as wasteful.
- Make Dirt Stairs by terraforming a dirt block.
- Dirt used in building recipes. -
