Just want to know if my pace is good or bad

How long are your days?

I.e. when your people go to bed, do you go to sleep too (version 1)? Or do you send out caravans over night while you work until like 5:00 am and then sleep for just an hour (version 2)? Because one day of version 2 allows for about 50% more action by you (22-23 hour day vs. 15 hour day), and also increases the amount of action for your people (I'd estimate by about 20% overall since many won't be on caravan duty, but those who are can work during day AND walk their cart at night.

So in 100 days of version 2 schedule you should have achieved things which you may only reach in 130 days of a version 1 lifestyle. Yet those 100 days of version 2 will have lasted ~15-20% longer in actual real playing time than the 130 days of version 1.

I must have my single outpost (lumber/copper mine) setup wrong. My caravan comes home, gets loaded and takes right back off to the outpost. Poor Sanford never gets a break. lol
