Oh, forgot to mention...one of the broken huts took 4 days to repair, with 6 Building Masters working on it. Is one of them supposed to be exceptionally difficult, or was this another bug?

PinkNailPolish,
I stand corrected. I see LadyCFII has the issue under review!

It is still possible to 'purposely' get a villager stuck anywhere as you can see




I have completely forgotten how to use the file manager, I don't know how many times I tried and still couldn't get it to work. I checked FAQ, but honestly that wasn't much help either. I'm just too dense where it counts.

Swedane: We are spending more time working on where peeps get stuck on their own than we are on places that the player can stick them. Use those places while you can! You can see how to use the File Manager at the end of this post.

Scully: We understand that there are issues with the nursing timer, and they are being reviewed. Each housing hut is a longer project than the previous one; that's working as designed.

Altaira: It would be very helpful if you could supply a crash report from your Mac. Without a crash report, we probably can't determine what caused the crash.

I have seen them learn farming and building, but nothing else yet.

The previous hut took 4 hours to finish...the next one took 4 days. That seemed like a LOT longer than it should have been. That's why I reported it as a bug.

Mine mostly learn Research. I've assumed that's because all my teachers are Master Scientists - but maybe it's the nature of the tribe or something.

Most of mine tend to become scientists or builders as their 'majors'. A few become farmers, and even fewer become doctors. I haven't seen any kid 'graduate' with more than a smidge of parenting skills. By the time they turn 14 all seem to be at least trainees, with a few adepts.

Along with their 'major' they tend to have picked up a little skill in all the others as well. That has only started relatively recently; in the past they would only pick up one skill. I would guess that is because I've been using Scholars almost exclusively to teach.

I've been wondering about why one skill predominates always. I suspect it's because all the teachers, even scholars, have one skill that is their highest, and that's the one they'll pass on the most. Perhaps if we want the kids to learn all the skills equally we will need to keep a faculty of at least five (preferably all Scholars), each member being maxed out in a particular skill.

I don't have the time to read through all of this to see if this glitch has been reported, but I did read someone's problem where the game would crash if a villager was placed on the crabs during "pause". The same thing happened to my sister and I; it also happens with the herbs. If we set a villager on the herbs when the game is paused, the game will crash.

Elf-girl, please see this post for LadyCFII's answer

There is a way to earn that trophy as you go further in the game.
