Don't immediately restart. Your villagers can last a long time without food, although they will weaken after a while. I've had some close calls with island events where I think I won't get harvesting before they starve and it works out... just let them keep plugging away and you'll probably be fine (they'll eat like crazy for a while after though).


I agree...there's no need to immediately restart. Also, there is something the children can do to help with the food supply...it saved one of my villages from the brink of starvation (: I won't reveal what it is here in the forum to avoid providing a spoiler, but you can PM me for a hint if you like. Additionally, that feature with the children can make the lulls during the game a bit more fun and interesting.

Cheers!
