1 aunt irmas basket
2 i think this is pillage.. but i havent yet seen the word in game
3 storehouse
4 cannon forge
5 noble residence
6 ???? ( dont know or havent seen this word asociation for anything)
7 wayfaring settler ( but then i think it should be an explorer but couldnt find any of them in game )
8 retired bandits
9 friary
10 i also dont know this

and i just asociated the words with what it looks like in game so i may have done bad here in so many points

also tought i replied to the question at the first page. i wanted to quote that

1. Aunt Irma's Fest
2. Love Potion
3. Residence
4. Enemy encampment
5. Magnificent residence
6. Manuscript
7. Intrepid Explorer
8. Retired Bandits
9. Friary
10. Hospitable Bone Church

1 floating residents
2 skill tree?
3 gold deposit
4 Mayors House

this was the extra ones

1. Agnate Irma's repast = Aunt Irma's Feast
2. Philtre = love potion
3. Stock dwelling = stable
4. Detractor cantonment = Bandit Leader Camp
5. Palatial mansion = Magnificent Residence
6. Palimpsest = Manuscript
7. Spunky hiker = Intrepid Explorer
8. Superannuated marauders =Retired Bandits
9. Cloister = Friary
10. Congenial Ossuary = Decorative Pumpkin Cemetery

1 Agnate Irma's repast = Aunt Irma's Feast (easy peasy)
2. Philtre an old word for a potion, usually a love potion
3. Stock dwelling stock can mean either standard (ie regular or normal) or a shortened word for livestock. So it's either a stable or a normal residence.
4. Detractor cantonment Seems like an enemy sector.
5. Palatial mansion palatial means large, so this could refer to either a noble or magnificent residence.
6. Palimpsest - manuscript
7. Spunky hiker the Intrepid Explorer, whom I've nicknamed Amelia for Amelia Earhart.
8. Superannuated marauders retired bandits (pretty straight forward)
9. Cloister is a residence for monastics, or a Friary
10. Congenial Ossuary Today congenial means kind, or nice. An Ossuary is definitely a place to store bones. I'm not sure if this refers to the decorative graveyard or the Bone Church.

1 Rufresent volitant habitant I thought this one was the most difficult. Habitant = someone who dwells in, ie inhabitant; volitant seems like a form of the French Voleur, which is to fly or run fast, or is it to steal? But I have no idea what rufresent means. Refresh? I'm guessing a flying settler > red flying settler, but it's just a guess.
2. Contrivance lube: lube = oil, and contrivance is an old word for machine, so machine oil (buff)?
3. Aureate Subterrestrial Lode Aureate = gold, Subterrestrial = underground, Lode is... A vein of metal, a mining term a la Mother Lode. So in total it's got to be a gold mine.
4. Bureaucrats Domicile= mayor's house.

This was fun - thank you! Happy Thesaurus day to all.

1. Agnate Irma's repast = Be Kind, Rewind
2. Philtre = Filter
3. Stock dwelling = Pup Tent
4. Detractor cantonment = A barn house ("The tractor containment...")
5. Palatial mansion = Prison aka "The Big House"
6. Palimpsest = The floppiest friend ("Pal Limpsiest")
7. Spunky hiker = Dora the Explorer
8. Superannuated marauders = Pirates with extra apostrophes '''''
9. Cloister = Shellder's Pokévolution
10. Congenial Ossuary = A bird with a cold

(I know, I know... but everyone's already answered these... Time to laugh...)

Well Done KirkMac and others, I apologize for Rufresent volitant Habitant...it should have been Rufescent. I do really love this kind of stuff.

1. Agnate Irma's repast Aunt Irma's feast
