Has anyone else noticed that your researchers / scientists health meter goes down more often than any other villager?

yes

it was the same in VV1

tyhey injure themselves while they work, builders do too, although since they work slower it is harder to see

farmers accidentally get hurt less often than either of those

what scientist with any talent did you know that didnt forget to eat and bath etc for half their life lol. all the greats forget normal day to day stuff,,, why would it be any different for our researchers. just switch villagers once in awhile to give them a break thats what i do if i see they loose health more then others

You can look in the game log and see exactly which villagers have injured themselves while working, as well as see how much health they lost.

To see how to use the game log, check out this answer in our Support FAQ.

When my scientists and builders are a little bit tired, I bring them to heat (3 or 4 times). When they are moderately tired, I bring them farming the time they go better and if they are too much tired, I bring them to make a stew (the one I prefer that restore completely their health). And it works!

Thank you so much for the info on the game log!!!! I never knew what it was or how to get there... I knew from conversations it existed but had never found it... Thank you once again!

I make a stew, so that they dance. Or I send them to the pond for a swim, that seems to help.
