Hi all.
GBU all 2.
I'm "hopefully" will be "almost ready" for Chapter 2 by this weekend. YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE. "Crafting" cement as we speak, and only have to get the forged bucket. I "should" have it "done" by the weekend.
My "concerns", as "little as they are":
1. Do I have to "restart" my game?
2. "Retrain a new "crew"?
3. Does Lemur "travel" with me to Chapter 2? Or do I get a "new helper" in it?
4. "Recraft" a lot of the "old stuff" for my "new crew"?
5. Will there be "new stuff" to build, craft, or new "techs" for my "new crew" to "learn"?

Looking "forward" in "exploring" more of Isola with my "crew".
GBY and yours.

Hi crosstitcher. Sounds like progress.
Regarding your concerns:
1. No, you don’t have to "restart" your game.
2. No, your "crew" will be there.
3. The Lemur should ”travel" with you to Chapter 2.
4. Re-crafting? I’ll let you discover this on your own.
5. New stuff? Again, I’ll let you discover this on your own.

Like Chapter 1, Chapter 2 is challenging.

Hi MissKathy,
GBU2.
So, "if" I am understanding this, when I "finally" get all 12 puzzles "done", the game "auto" starts Chapter 2? That's awesome.
Good about my "crew" and Lemur. I "hated crosstraining" at my personal factory job.
Good, then "before" I "finish" all 12 puzzles for Chapter 1, this is my "plan":
1. I'll just "restock til eternity". "Non-stop" stocking 24/7, 52 weeks a year" restocking til I get "at least" 25-50 in "each". That "should" take a year in doing. And "cut-off" trade for a year.
2. "Poor little Lemur" better "stock-up" on his "energy food", whatever he eats. Will have to go and "research" myself, what a Lemur "is" and see "what" they eat. Got to keep him "happy".
3. Tech points are at 2 million as of 2 hrs. ago. Will "train" all but 2 of my "crew" to research and keep them there. 2 people can "farm til the cows come home". I'll "pause" my game at night, so my "crew" won't "age".
4. Don't need no children, as all they do is "scare each other" and "sometimes" will get mushrooms, or a "king".
Thanks again MissKathy.
GBU and yours.

Hi MissKitty,
GBU2.
I 'revised" my " 31 crew plan", as I found out, not much room in science, to 3 sections:

8 in building
10 in farming
10 in science

And "if/when" needed, I'll "reborn" my king to be the healer, at the age of 14, in Chapter 2.

I have 3 "elderly crew members" and am leaving them in healing.
GBU and yours.

Make sure to always have a few female villagers young enough to have babies, for the survival of the village. Also, the number of times the same villager can be "reborn" is limited.

Hi MissKitty,
GBU 2.
I am on the "last" item for me to get to go to Chapter 2. Like I said, I'll keep "crafting" til I get "all" of page 6 "done," between 25-50 "items" in each part, then work on page 7. "Hope" I "don't" have to play Chapter 2, to get page 7 done.
Working on the "butterflies" in crafting. So far, I have 16 more hours left til they are "done". They are "amazing" in detail. WTG LDW team. Also, I got the water wheel "finished" and "installed" and the game looks so "life-like" with it. It "almost" looks like a "rainbow" flowing. Absolutely "breath-taken. Again, WTG LDW team.
You said there's a "limit" of how many times I can "reincarnate" a person? How many times?
GBU and yours.

Hi crosstitcher. It isn't necessary to have 25-50 of each item stored in the Crafting Hut unless that is something that you want to do. A few of everything is nice, hence the comment "well stocked crafting hut." I had specifically mentioned page 6 because

Yes, villagers can only be reborn 5 times. It is a very sad thing for me. Spending all that time making Chiefs and then they die...
