I think I've maxed out my game and will have to start fresh. Bummer.

I only have 25 villagers, plenty of food, but no one has any skill in construction, so I don't think I can get anyone to attempt building. I set everyone's skill to const. and let the game run overnight, but no one is building and everyone is worried about housing. I can't get people to mate because there is not enough housing, so everyone just gets older -- just waiting to die, I guess.

I did have two people with contstruction skills, but I guess it's a use it or lose it proposition with the big C. None of the other skills (that I can see) are lost over time. Perhaps I'm wrong on this, because I see that there are now 7 people buried -- perhaps my const. worker died while I wasn't looking. I see also that I have an elderly, weakened person with minimal (untrained level) const. skill -- so I guess that means she can't train someone else.

Here's the stats:
Hours: 100
born: 27
cured 34
buried 7
oldest 69
max 25
havested 59918
crabs 289
tech 150318
levels completed 9
Island events 10
Puzzles 6 out of 12 (1~5 and 7 completed)

Is this game a lost cause?
