I have a strange game going. I am wondering if this has happened to anybody else. Because my last couple of games ran out of food early, I decided to play this one differently. I started yesterday, played on slow, and paused anytime I was away for a couple of minutes. I played hard today, hunting mushrooms and collectibles like crazy. I collected only a little bit of honey, then all adults went to research. I bought level one nature, then restoration, and a little while ago level 2 nature. The odd part is this: all day, no food was eaten and nobody aged. The mom did not release her baby. The scientists earned 60K+ points, and became Masters. They repaired the first hut, planted the tree and it grew and bore mangoes. But nobody ate all day. I had 450 honey, a tree with 1000 in mangoes, and 1500 in the food bin. Everybody stayed healthy all day.
So about an hour ago I changed to fast speed and they began to eat the food, the mom let go of the baby and they began to age, so I guess we are back on track?
I did do that drop a kid-pause-drop another kid thing until I realized that nobody was eating any food.
It was kinda hard work, but really no tougher than running out of food and not being able to play at all.
So how did this happen?
