I just purchased the full version of the game a few days ago and I'm happily making many mistakes along the way. Currently I'm playing on Low difficulty and have 6 adults and 1 child in my village. I've upgraded to Farming level 2, increased Building to 2 and my Spirituality has been upgraded due to an external event.

My problem is this. I cannot seem to get ahead on food to save my life! I have the farm just south of the research table going, but it seems like I'm fighting a losing battle to keep food in the coffers. Even with two people farming and one foraging, I've gone from 400+ food to less than 200.

Right now I've got everyone working on food production except for one Builder, and I'm still just barely breaking even. It's really bizarre. Do I just have really gluttonous villagers or what?

One other weird thing I'm noticing is that my adept farmers seem to wander around a lot. They'll harvest for a little while, then I'll look back an hour later and they're "curious about the ruins" and walking over there. Grr!

Anyone have some ideas as to what's happening? I'm really enjoying the game, but having 80% of my workforce on food detail seems like a recipe for disaster.
