Ahh! My reasoning was that I thought the exploration token would survive for me to be able to grab later. With that in mind, I will beg permission, yet again, to change my order for Woodcutter to 8-3.

OK, the game thread will be updated soonish.
This tripped up both RossM and pillbox, so I’ll reiterate: placing a fishery, inn, city, good, or even pollution on an exploration token discards the token unseen. Any kind of harvesting man will replace an exploration token in own and adjacent hexes with a good (+grass/pollution).

If there’s anything unexpected in that post, please let me know. Any requests for changes to countryside builds will be accepted. I noted that all 3 fisheries were placed to harvest one less fish than possible, but assumed you all had reasons for that, such as saving a water hex for a future luxury goods harvest, or wanting a man back a turn earlier.

Before I give my woodcutter coordinates, does it make any difference which one I harvest first? They are all adjacent to my woodcutter token so I shouldn’t think so

You’d think so, right? Actually, you might find harvesting decisions having significant consequences in the game. Not always, but even early, if you want to maximize a farm area, for instance, which wood you take might be important.

Map corrected, please let me know your harvest instructions.
Let’s keep everything that isn’t an update from me or an instruction from you in this thread.

@Whistle_Pig Are you certain about this? 5-19 is a mountain hex, and unlikely to be mined any time soon, while 5-15 will be lost if you build a mine on 4-16. Apologies for second-guessing you.
EDIT: actually, this is probably too much from me. I have gone ahead with the explore, and will refrain from suggestions in the future, unless suggestions are requested.
It’s weird, but I think I’ve got my next turn planned out!

Sorry, forgot to turn on highlighting, the map has been updated.
As you can see, 26-3 and 26-4 are not in your zone of control, so pollution cannot be placed there.
@RossM 26-4 is still not a viable place for pollution - water hexes are not in your zone of control unless you are manning a harbour.
If this changes where you want your fishery, that’s fine.
Yep twigged what was wrong. See new post in main thread
Do I have to declare what I am collecting from my fisherman?
I believe you did when we did harvesting?
Oh, you mean next turn. No, I can figure out which fish to take =P
No, I mean fish instead of, for example, pearls

Oh, definitely, yes. In Turn 1 I assumed that “fishery” and no other specification meant fish, but it should always be specified.
FWIW I have built a non-fish fishery in Turn 1 in most of the games I have played so far!

Cool. (I wanted a fish, just wasn’t sure when we declared this!)
All the goods for a countryside build are placed on the map immediately, and fish/dye/pearl tokens are distinct.
I found a sheep with my explore.
Can I use that to start a farm next turn?
Yes, you can.
