Thanks, CMH, that's a good idea. Does the fruit tree die if it's completely harvested? With the beehive currently tapped out and no way to go fishing yet, the fruit on the tree won't last long enough to completely strengthen my weaklings.

Not to press a point, but I'm having only limited success here, mostly by dragging people to the food hut and to the waterfall to drink, back and forth several times. Even when I put someone on the reef, the thought is usually to get back to work rather than take a nice vacation.

I've been making use of the [SPOILER] rain dance, thinking it might give everyone a quick holiday. But I haven't seen much change in strength meters afterward. Maybe it's just a slower process than I'd like - welcome to Instant America!

Any and all suggestions and success reports are delightfully welcome!
