How do you know when on-the-job accidents occur? I have never once seen an "Action" message on the screen indicating that a villager had an 'accident,' or was injured from one.

The only time you would see it is if you had the villager selected (with the ellipse at his or her feet) at the time of the injury, when you would see the message, "Ouch! The villager was injured doing this task."

Since the game log has been removed in VV3 for performance reasons, you won't be able to see it there.

But my vv3,
When dropping the VV ON THE FRUIT, goes and plants it in the orchard . but then after closing and re-opening it's not planted. then I check back near the primitive lift, not there even. I have to repair the lift, but till that how can I live with one limited food source? if I stop the game they won't reaserch, if I unpause the game the food source will over. It rains very rarely and the mushrooms appear very rarely.

WHAT CAN I DO ?

Under normal circumstances, if you let the villager finish the task, and you see the tree growing in the orchard, it will continue to grow until it matures and produces fruit. If you interrupted the villager who was carrying the fruit, or if your computer's system clock was adjusted (or is not stable), you will see problems with the game.

Since you're very early in the game, it might be best to start over, unless you really like a challenging start.

THANK YOU LADY.
Now it's ok, it was the system clock
