It is especially important to have these boxes checked appropriately when you are leaving the game as you want them to be productive while you are gone and not standing around too much.įarming: Basically this is food collection. It does not seem to make them improve at a skill any faster, but it will have them persist at that skill longer and more frequently. There is a check box on the right that you can check so that your villager will prefer to do that task. One goal of the game is to get your villagers to be masters at the skills, which means to fill the blue bars. The Detail screen shows you the age, health status, skills, likes and dislikes of your characters. The main screen only shows the name of your character, her current selected skill and action. Your Detail screen is usefully in several ways. Whichever person you are on when you click done will be the person selected. If you are paused, you will have to click on the little picture to see where the person is.ģ. The view will move around and show you the selected character circled in white. Using the left arrow will show you the youngest villager first and the right arrow will show the oldest. You can use the Detail arrows on the main screen without going into the Detail screen. There are several ways you can select a specific character.Ģ. You just need to keep putting them back to work until they gain some skills.Īdults: Age 18 and above. Your younger villagers are particularly prone to stopping work and not knowing what to do. Teens: From the age of 14 to 17, teens will work. They will pick up mushrooms, relics, and lab items and run around all over the place! They are very handy to keep orange masks out of the way (see below). Nursing mothers: Will not work and will carry their babies until they are 2 years old in game time about 2 hours in Fast mode and almost 4 in Slow mode.Ĭhildren: From the age of 2 to 13, children will not work. If you do this, you can start with different starting tribe mixes and try doing different tasks first. If you are determined to keep playing, then start 2 or 3 tribes. Also be sure to have assigned your villagers the appropriate skill preference you don't want to go to bed and discover every female in your village with a baby (well, maybe you do but that's for later!) Putting it in slow mode overnight will allow plenty to happen without the risk of waking up in the morning with too much damage to your tribe. Also consider going back to normal, slow, or pause while you are at work or sleeping. I advise that you just keep the game running in the background while you do your other tasks on the computer. To speed things up, you can play in fast mode (available in options). You are not going to be able to push this game out in a day you just can't force it. You need to use this to your advantage and not get frustrated. This game continues to progress while you are not playing.
