Your people, now led by the eldest Homunculi, albeit "eldest" is used very lightly here. Decide to attempt to salvage their not so fully formed brethren. While... they are for the most part unsuccessful, they do manage to salvage one mentally deficient Homunculi, capable of doing basic labor and simple tasks. In addition, due to their technological knowledge, they realize that they could do limited repairs on the birthing chambers to produce more of these laborers.

You send half your men on a search party around the laboratory, while the rest are tasked with repairing the pods, your laborer not understanding whats going on, simply drools on the floor.
The lab is seemingly peaceful and dead as your explorers find more rations. (+3 turns worth of food)
However, as they are exploring, they enter a room filled completely with... slime?
Not wanting to get dirty, they leave the room and head back to the makeshift headquarters and birthing room, reporting their findings.

For the record, the pods are repaired only to a small extent, and they can only produce laborers for the time being. And to be frank, while they are good at simple tasks, they are the equivalent of zombies, and would be unable to run the civilization on their own.

Well... you see the thing is, they don't exactly have anything to make crossbows with, tree/lumber shortage is also a problem underground so arrows would be an issue.
They are capable of researching it however, and other objects/ideas of that caliber.

The eldest Homunculi sends out a search party of two, with the assistance of three laborers, to examine the territory surrounding the lab.
The surroundings are extremely dark, the only illumination coming from the laboratory. The environment seems to consist entirely of dirt, stone, ore, and the occasional puddle. In the back of this strange cavern stands a ladder, leading to a hatch, far too rusty to open. The party comes back with the intriguing news, and notes that they'd be able to explore further if only they had a way of see their surroundings better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Encounter Status:
The party succeeds in convincing the slime that they aren't slaves with a demonstration of their knowledge, thankfully the slime doesn't know of the laborers. Unfortunately, the slime still sees the Homunculi as inferior and insults them before slipping down a drain in the laboratory floor.

Researching forging

The Homunculi research forging, and manage to make simple swords, and shields out of iron. Unfortunately, the laborers are too simple minded to acquire such a skill, so a Homunculi must be used to create such weapons (1 Homunculi Occupied, +3 Basic Combat supplies per turn, use 1 Iron each) Furthermore, all that can be made at the moment are basic combat supplies. Thankfully, the laborers can be trained to wield the weapons and become... infantry, additionally, Homunculi can be trained into full fledged warriors.

We need to solve our food income.
Also, I propose we avenge our Masters. Maybe make flame throwers against the Slimes.(I always imagined Wojak as a Homonculus.)

The birthing chambers are fully repaired, and are now producing fully fledged Homunculi in addition to laborers (+1 Homunculi per turn) Furthermore, it seems the chambers can be tweaked to produce more... specialized results.
Meanwhile, a team of seven laborers and three infantry are tasked with clearing the webbed hole.

This should be easy, considering the spiderlings are too young to attack.
Have two Warrior Homunculi stab the Queen's sac, while the third one slash a couple legs off.
If its a bad roll, have the labourers charge in with their pickaxes, while the other half block off he area using a cave-in.

If we win, take the spiderlings in Jars. We could use them as mounts/livestock when they grow.

The Homunculi, thinking about how their fates may be similar to the humans that once resided here, ponder the best way to combat Slimes, and conclude that they must construct Flamethrowers. (New weapon forged each turn, flamethrowers, a mixture of fire magic and iron, these fickle devices are only usable by Homunculi specially trained in their use, each one costs 1 Iron to construct.)

A Spider-Man race sounds EXCELLENT. We could use them as Spies, which would probably be niche with them.

True, but we need to find meat in the swamp for these spiders. They might eventually start attacking us (Arachni's Bloodthirsty trait).

Right...Maybe later on we can construct a Genetist Lab and make artificial edible biomass. We can stuff full of vitamins and feed it to them, in turn maoing our Humonculi stronger

>>400352
I was thinking of doing something similar too. I also liked the idea of harvesting poison from the spiders soon, it'd be good for fighting any non-slimes on the surface since even infantry could use a venom sword.

The expedition team, able to prevent further casualties through swift thinking and a silver tongue returns home, their news of a Mycennean civilization bustling right above the Homunculi sparking an itch for adventure (New Unit Unlocked, Diplomats, Homunculi Only, +2 to diplomacy rolls per diplomat). The Homunculi in turn curious of what else could be lurking near them, design Illumination Helmets! Well... they more or less rig up head lamps fueled by simple fire magic that even a laborer could understand. (New Exploration Unlocked: The Underground). Also, due to the adventuring fervor 12 Laborers and 3 Homunculi volunteer to join the Military. (+12 Infantry Trained, +3 Warriors Trained).

I think we should >tweak birthing chambers. The number of regular Homunculi and laborers are disproportionate here.

The Homunculi set about studying the venom of the Arachni, in an attempt to better equip their soldiers and to see if further experiments are possible. The results are as follow:
>Envenomed Weapons: (+1 In combat rolls against poisonable units, -1 In combat rolls against non poisonable units, due to their reliance on poison)
>Poison and Disease Resistance: (Units unable to be poisoned, diseases and plagues are easier to contain)
The Homunculi also conclude that future research, depending on our technologies, may result in more results and improvements. While some are busy researching venom, other more magically inclined Homunculi set about creating the world's first Iron Flame-magic Condenser, similar in appearance to a pistol it packs just as much of a punch, they test this new weapon on a rock, blasting it to pieces. (+1 Pistols per turn, cost 2 iron to make,) (New units unlocked, Pistol Whippers, and Dead Eye's, made from Laborers and Homunculi respectively)
To keep up with the output, 10 laborers are sent to mine, while 10 are sent to the smelting room.
(+10 Iron-Ore, and +10 Iron per turn)
