Ok, I have been guilty of the old TT games, was intersting trying to not have the village starve before I got the level 3 farming.
Anyway, I am currently playing a totally un time travel game and I love it so much more!! I am finding a ton of collectables all at once and a bunch of the rare ones also! Seems a mushroom and collectable show up at the same time when I had more than 1 child, the food never runs out on the farm, seems right when they get the last bit in the bin, it pops up within a few minutes with a full new crop. When I time traveled it could take hours (3-4) sometimes to get food, so I had to be really really careful!
I would love that fix for the coconuts harvesting, I hate that they will do that before the whole 800 count crop, seems like a real waste of time. At least 1 farmer should stay behind.
For those that have not played without time travel, try it, much more interesting!!
