I have also re-started the game 6 times because I can't seem to get 50000 tech points before all my food runs out. Can some-one please give me a detailed root to achieve this . I have had the food way up there and I have mastered the research part BUT.. I never manage to get more than 12000 tech points.



I use this tactic when playing on hard: One farmer, the rest scientists. Research Farming 2 and Farming 3. If you like, add Science 2 in the middle. Don't bother breeding. Don't bother clearing the beach. Don't bother building the hut. Don't bother having more than one farmer. Once you have Farming 3, you will have a lot more freedom in what you do.
