Hi - I have 15 villagers, level 2 in harvesting, building and fertility. I was doing just fine, but now my crops are dying every 15 minutes and I have to have all 8 adults douse them with water. I need a hint about the next source of food. When the crops are doing well, I have half harvesting and half researching, trying to get to level 2 in science. Should I be having them get the pure water from the lagoon and water the dead flower field instead? Am I missing something about the next food source?

And what do I do about getting a builder back? All my old ones died after finishing the first hut! A hint about where to locate the next hut would be great!

Please don't tell me too much! I just want hints about the next steps to take!

Thanks much

You will need level 3 in harvesting, so hit the research table now! Actually, if you click on Harvesting & then info, it tells you abt the next food source.

As for builders, you need to train some new younger villagers up. This is how it has to be.

As for new huts, well, when you reach the max villagers allowed with the first hut, the foundation for the next will appear by itself.

I have 15 villagers. My builder died. My villagers will not breed because there isn't enough housing. I have selected one of the villagers as a builder but there is no place for him to build. I have searched all over the island. Is this the end?

This is definately not the end!
If you have 15 villagers, you have 1 hut. There are 2 more huts to go! If you try breeding again you should get "there is not enough housing". Look around the map for a construction symbol. This will be the site for your next hut. If the symbol doesn't appear, try exiting the game and re-entering. This seems to trigger that hotspot!
If you still don't get construction on a new hut, let us know.

Those things will only work if one of the villagers already has some construction skill. The situation is not hopeless, though. There are still some puzzles that you can use to train builders. Continue to have your villagers do research and look for new things to do. You should find something new to work on soon that will let you move past your current impasse.

Thank you Michelle and Barbara for your help. The villagers have already cleared the debris from the beach and have already cleared the blockage at the creek, is there something else that will help train a builder? No one has one ounce of construction skill.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are at least 7 ways to train a builder... and you may get more if you encounter certain island events. Researching until you can buy higher tech levels should open up your new building opportunities!

I just checked my villagers and the one that I had checked for construction skills is just "relaxing" that bum! I'm going to get him busy on research and wait for something to happen.
