Ok so theres the algea everyone is talking about, well i get it grows when they over fish,, but what if they wont fish, i got my crops and my coconuts, they go for those but not fishing,, what do i do???

look here for help with the puzzles!!! click----> here.

I had the same problem on one of my games. I couldn't figure out how to find the algea eating fish so I just started a new game. I made sure I could get coconuts quickly and now my village is ok. I will go back and try to figure the first game out after I am done with this new one I started.

Good luck Terina

No I allready get how the algea grows,,, and how to fix it,,, but it wont grow ,, their not fishing anymore,,, so the algea isnt going to grow at all,,, i think i jumped the gun on getting my farm tech up ,, im guessing i was supposed to acually wait till the fish were all gone and then get second level farming??? so theres not algea growing at all... please tell me i dont have to start over

I wouldn't start over... the coconuts are limited, so eventually they'll run out and have to go back to fishing. Even if you get the crops growing, they don't grow all the time, so there's going to be a lot of time when they're fishing instead.

I hope so, im not going to start over till i know for sure ive Messed it up LOL ,,, but as you said they may just be ok,, and when the coconuts are at 0 and the crops are waiting for a recycle,, i may put everyone on fishing just to get it going lol ill figure it out thanks everyone for the imput

They will fish, and it will cause the algae to appear. Just keep dropping villagers into the ocean. Did you time warp? Getting the algae usually is not difficult and should appear before you get the farm playing normally.

A couple of times I came back to discover the coconut trees depleted, the crops empty, and the food bin at zero. Throwing as many villagers as possible into the sea a few times soon made them fish, and was a quick way to rescue the food stocks. It did bring the onset of the algae closer though.

Wow.. really arnie? I have to try that

You've got to keep an eye on them, though. Otherwise they wander off to plant crops or water the field, ignoring the famine.
