I was up to 65 villagers and then the locusts (I think) made everyone sick and when I came back to the game, I only had 4 survivors (one girl). No big deal... time to breed again.

1] I now have 23 villagers, but I can't get anyone to do any construction. I have the ruins rebuilt, three huts, and the creek cleared out.

2] How do I move the big boulder? What type of specialist should I sent to investigate?

3] Now that I have maxed out on what my tech points can purchase, is there a reason to still have people research? Are they the ones who help me figure out the last five puzzles?

4] I have those two fields on the right side that are not used. Who should I send over there? (I found the graveyard already).

Thanks!

You might have a problem with the construction skills. I don't think there is a way to train builders once you have finished all of the construction projects. That ability has been requested and might make the update when it's released.

The boulder puzzle depends upon certain levels of research AND a special event. Patience is required.

Your scientists will usually abandon the research table once all tech levels are maxed out.

The key to the 'dead flower' field is somewhere else on the map. Why don't you try to explore things a bit with some of your villagers?

Barbara, you are always so helpful! thanks!

So, then I should just concentrate on breeding, feeding and healing (oh, if life was only that simple LOL)

Exactly!

I'm having the problem that no one will start any new construction. they cleared the lagoon, and they cleaned the beach.... they built the 1st hut. do they just start building a new hut once you have 10 villagers?

You don't have enough villagers yet to trigger construction of the next hut. Maybe you should make more babies??

TRYING!!! I have one chick left and all she has is boy babies!!!!!

Too bad we can't beam villagers like we can fish (at least on the Palm version of Fish Tycoon)! I can just picture it: "I'll trade you a cute little redheaded 6-year-old girl for that kinda ugly guy with the chest tattoos!"

I love it!

Have faith! Even one girl baby can get you back on track. In fact, I've had almost a whole village die off and be repopulated just from one couple and one Island event. I was just about ready to give up, but it turned out I was glad I didn't!
