The villagers can water two different places, but only one of them will produce food (the farm - the area with the orange lines that is south of the research table ). If I read your post correctly, it sounds like you don't have L2 harvesting yet. I really think you need to put some of your villager's energies into research - that should resolve your dilemma!

Hiya

Thanks ever so much guys, I shall keep at it!!

Carrie -

I too am creeping along slowly in the game. I keep it paused when I'm at work because I felt like I missed too much fun stuff the first day I let it run. Once I get home I can check it more frequently and play for long periods so I haven't gotten to a lot of the things I have seen mentioned. I have though seen little neat things going on when I watch my little villagers for a while. It seems like now that their skill levels have bumped up they are being more adventerous and curious and I've noticed them going to look at certain things or trying to water certain areas of the island. It's really NEAT to watch the changes and growth!

Maybe you can't sit around and watch them like I can but it seems like everything takes some time to accomplish so keep plugging away! And as far at tech points go, you might get events that help give you a boost Just a little hint or something to look forward to!

I finally got my crop to grow. Everything was fine, but all of a sudden, right after about 15 minutes of real time, all my crops disappeared with no warning!
Does anyone know if it will come back? The villagers are watering like crazy. I hope it will come back...thanks.

melomak, it should come back....it has done so every time so far for me

The farm goes through regular periods of planting, watering and harvesting - just like a real farm. With good planning on your part, the times when the farm has no crops to harvest shouldn't be a problem for your villagers!

I have a T5 too and I have the same problem with the program!

It's not really a problem or a bug. . .that's just how the farm works. After all of the crops are harvested, it takes time for the new crops to be planted and grow to maturity.

I am new to this game, so I am having a hard time with the
puzzles, can somebody help me? I don't know how to move the bolder, or carve the rock, or do the ruins. I am on tech 2 on somethings, and tech 3 on the harvesting. Here is my email address. Thanks....Buny. buny251@yahoo.com
