on easy level you only want one person on farming, one person on building and the rest on research, mushies and items are assets. and its easier to take things one at a time, ive never lost a village from starvation because i dont jump the gun b4 i need to. get all the fish out, as soon as the algea turns up, get level 2. Dont get level 2 just cause you have the points there. wait be patient. you need the algea for a puzzle anyways so just get it done. then by the time the coconuts are almost depleted, your dam is done and the farm is ready. and again only one farmer, and make sure you get the scarecrow. then its just a matter of waiting till you get 90,000 to get level 3. If your spending alot of time on it, if while your waiting for new crops, put your farmer on research and then back on farming when the crops come in, but if your not there dont do it.

Ohh and dont let your population go over 15, thats all the farm can sustain.
