The emperor doesn't totally understand the last bubble.

Why did they only keep 5? The reserves to deal with what?

Ralph S. (Assistant to the Emperor of Borgo), From my understanding, it was a reference to #16, where Gabi was collecting the starting&operational capital by keeping only 5 coins for her daily needs. They got themselves a routine, each putting off 7 coins daily for materials and rent - and since it's just been days, they're still thinking of that routine? It's even more direct in the original language, I expanded with the reserves, but that last phrase is still a bit obscure, true><

Gabi is really conservative with money: she keeps as expenses for the next day double the lumber they need and she splits 50% of their profits for the reserve. Of course, she knows their machines will break more than the metal ones, but still, she's good at not ending broke.

Ernest, She IS learning, after all^^ And probably thinking of this money as a fund for bulk ordering lumber next month

I don't know how far ahead the russian version is, but I'd honestly like to see them get a metal worker to work for them, making metal machine parts and even reinforced wheels. I'd honestly also like to see them also make more than wheels. that could be a way to explain diversifying, by making them also make machine parts from wood (as they have to make them by hand, so why not also sell them)

Darkened Shadow, Original is 11 strips ahead at the moment and - unfortunately - no metalworker... yet. There's been talks of expanding the staff though^^
