for the last two hours, my adept doctor has been wandering about " studying strange plant" all of her own accord, I have been measuring her skill level , with a small ruler and there is no significant difference, so I picked her up and set her to research , then she went off again "studying strange plant"

actually I'm finding her quite entertaining, because not else is happening, i'm waiting for crops to grow, builders to finish and tech points to amass, just a shame she is seemingly doing this all in vain, surely she should be almost a master lol

I think I may put this game on hold, until there is a patch

its getting really frustrating

my doctors "activities" are not even in the log file, the builders and farmers activies are there, but seems what ever she is doing its pointlessand her skill level isn't rising!!

oh well i still haven't finished a few other games!!!

you could get all of your villagers sick and then have the doctor heal them all, just be careful!

That's right. Just let your fire go out and the doctor will start getting patients. If you feel really evil you could brew up a batch of poisonous stew, force-feed it to your villagers, and have your doctor heal them. ;\)

tried that - didn't make him a master though, even after the second round of evil doing his skills had only gone up slightly

I made sure that my one trainee 'slacker' doctor was studying plants when I logged off the game, next time I logged in, he was adept.

I noticed that if I didn't make sure that he was studying plants (the only other way besides healing a sick person for them to gain skill) they usually didn't progress at all on their own but spent the time slacking off.

Everyone on my island slacked off until they all died except for the baby. He's ben subsisting on mushrooms, but he can't keep the birds off the crops, nor can he remedy the algae problem. I'm afraid that when he is old enough, he might not have enough time to get things done before he also expires. That will have been a great waste of time.

Poisoning all villagers for the benefit of one?! What a cruel and totally evil suggestion. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

OR, you may have another great story to tell like this one

I finally got one of my healers to Master. I had to set her studying the purple flower for over 2 hours straight to get her from "highly adept" to "master" (not a problem since I am still trying to find the last beetle I need). I quickly paired her with another adept healer-hopefully this child will be a quicker learner.

How did you get your healer to study the plants on her own after she made adept?

Didn't work. Both children are going to be as much work to train as the parents were.

my healers are the same way, they love to study the plants but takes them forever to get from one to the other, so I take them around as soon as it says your villager has improved at healing. I switch from doing this to map view so I can scan for collectibles while I train my Doc.

I had my doctor at that purple flower so often I figure she should at least be a m aster by now.But know matter how long she stays at the plants,she rarely gains anything.
I think it depends on the game.Or maybe even the computer. Because I have been on the game now for one week and my doctor isn't any closer to being a master than she was at the beginning.
She has healed many of the villagers but still her skill level never changes.
