Sometimes I change the order of which technologies I purchase, but I generally stick to this pattern:

  • Have two farmers fish until the algae comes.
  • Purchase L2 farming and start harvesting coconuts.
  • Purchase L2 engineering and start building the [censored] (depending on the number of farmers and builders, this usually means that the coconuts will be depleted by the time the first crop comes in)
  • Solve the scarecrow puzzle.
  • Have as many researchers at the table as possible.
  • Purchase L2 Science.
  • Purchase L2 exploration & solve the stew and cutting tool puzzles (if necessary, prepare the health-restoring stew).
  • Keep researching until I have 90,000 tech points and can purchase L3 of farming (yes, before I purchase L2 of medicine and culture).
  • The rest differs with every village.
