Christel, thanks for your throughts and suggestions. I am trying to replace every baby as they grow up now. I probably shouldn't let my game run overnight, either, but I do, just to let whatever happens be as it is, without constantly micromanaging.

What I've discovered, after watching this tribe today, is that many of them are going over to eat even when their health is full, like they are bored and just eating just to eat. I have 2 tribes, and one tribe always had food, but this one always seemed lacking. Both of my tribes, for some reason are magic. I thought I had made one of them nature, but not. So I am starting a 3rd tribe today that will try the nature faction.
