Hi- I'm new to the forums and pretty confused. I have VV3 and have finished all puzzles and collections. Is there more to the game or am I finished?

Welcome! There is a lot of information here, and it can be overwhelming.

The Virtual Villagers games, like all of our real-time games, are designed to be open-ended. Each game has clear goals, but the games can continue to go on and allow you to play as long as you like. The Island Events will continue to happen, which can dramatically change the way things are going for your villagers. If you lost interest in your current game, you can do like most people do and play the game again on different settings and/or try different strategies. The puzzles aren't as difficult the second time (since you know how to solve them), and you can try completing them much earlier in the game, or in a different order. Many people also set challenges for themselves, like completing the game with only 25 villagers or trying to have a tribe of only one hair color. The possibilities are almost limitless.
