Does anyone know if there is there a limit to how many crops will grow on the farm? I'm desperately researching Level 3 Harvesting but now my food has run out and my islanders are watering the crops but to no avail, and now they are starting to panic

The crops do come back after a short period of the field going fallow....don't worry too much. There is another backup source of food if you look around as well

Thanks Treefern, I was at slow speed all morning when I thought I had set it to fast - D'oh!

Looks like I'll get to Level 3 Harvesting in time now I've changed the speed, but I didn't know about the alternate food source - I'll get looking for that, cheers

I'm actually in the same boat - trying to get enough research points to get to Harvesting 3 before my food runs out and besides the foraging tree and the one field, I can't seem to find any other food source....

Anyone know how long it takes to grow your first crops? I've been watering and planting. Maybe I'm not patient enough. Thanks.

Raven, are you having troubles feeding your peeps with the 2 food sources that yuou have....maybe you should be having more people looking for food?

melomak, as the Pantene ad in Australia goes, it won't happen overnight, but it will happen. Be patient, and as long as you have as many resources helping as you can, your farm should come up soon. Sorry, I can't give any estimate to hhow long it takes though

I think it took me between 1 to 2 hours real time with the game on fast, so just be patient and it will bloom in time.

Raven, I think you should be fine then, just keep an eye on those villagers, and make sure they keep doing the jobs that you want them to do

I'm trying to figure out why my villagers are trying to water the "toilet" patch with the lagoon water. If I try to move them to a different field, the water dissapears out of thier hands. I have the crop of carrots by the hut, but where is the next crop?
