Just an update on the game.

I checked in later in the day when the kids were five years older. Most of them had already started careers but I made most of them farmers; I've no need for scientists and only a couple of builders for routine maintenance. Probably even they aren't really needed. Just before I went to bed I checked again and those who were adults I paired off. I also made a couple of males breeders. When I came home from work I found that the oldest VVs are now 30 and their numbers are now up to 82! Food is now up to around 1,250,000. They seem to be getting along quite well without me.
