I think that spdytypr88 was asking if that could be an improvement in VV2 (or VV3???)

i.e. they ignore mushrooms until they are "taught." the first time. Then after that they will pick a mushroom if they are within 5 pixels of one. The next time, 10 pixels, and so on... (or even just increase the range one pixel at a time.) That way they start small, but improve as they gain experience (like researcher's tech points...)



Correct me if I'm wrong here - but my understanding is that the mushrooms were created precisely because they had to be monitored by the player at all times. I mean, I thought their purpose was giving the player something to actually do while all the adult villagers were getting along fine by themselves. Making the children able to learn to do it themselves would defeat this purpose (if this is the purpose).
