Keep tossing thier lil butts into the ocean, The people of my "Idjit Island" were doing the same thing, with zero food in the bin and they were still diligently attempting to create rice patties out of the veggie patch. When I toss them in the ocean, they MIGHT catch a fish and do that solo trek to the bin, then of course back to the rice patty...OR....they would insist on harvesting the coconuts that were long gone. I'm not sure if they were perhaps searching for coconut seeds? or just afraid to get their feet wet.
Today I started another village, it appears I have several runners among the group and while this does complete the tasks i set them to do quickly......Its not so easy to catch their scurrying lil butts to MAKE them do what I want them to do...sigh
