Clay source

A lot of my progress has been held up by the lack of clay for bricks. Only sources ponds, which are expensive and occasionally from well. I bought a second pond but drop rate is random and is slow going. Combined with the slow drop rate and expense of coal, I'm finding this game long and dragged out with little reward so far. I do like the story line, similar to Castle Story, which I've been playing now for over a year until recent lack of goals is causing me to ignore it and move on to more exciting challenges.

Ditto! No more goals in Castle Story. And I like the story line here. But dragging out and getting frustrated simply cuz I can't get coal or clay.
