i babysit my villagers, especially during scarcity. i get all the food i can get. if crops are available, i make them all harvest until it gets depleted. and then the coconuts. and fishing. but i help them concentrate with work and minimize their walking time. i pick them up one by one right after they drop the food in the food bin and drag them back to the farm, the coconut tree or the ocean. i am watching their actions and pick them up when they try to do something else, other than what i want them to do.
