When the game begins you start with all technologys level 1.

There are no coconuts in VV1, but the second level of Farming Tech will provide crops for your villagers.

This is weird or maybe it's normal. They just finished clearing the blockage for the lagoon. However they are still removing blockage. Will this allow them to fish? I'm still not understanding the fishing part.

Sometimes a few builders get confused and don't realize that they should stop clearing the blockage. Make them do something else, and they'll stop.

Your villagers will be able to fish for food from the ocean (not the lagoon) after you have purchased the highest level of Farming Tech.

Hay that means I need to get them doing research to get more tech points. Whew ... this is exhausting work making this village.

LOL

Yep! It's a lot of work!
