Great little resource collector game! I really enjoyed it and got all the quests (except 20 villagers) Unfortunately, my game started lagging really bad at 15 villagers and I was unable to progress. Still had a lot of fun and loved watching my villagers zoom around! Here are some notes that hopefully will help you and help improve this awesome game!

1) A few items dropped off the side of a cliff so my guys couldn't get to them 


2) The panning camera was too slow

3) The wood truck upgrade didn't do anything?

4) Quests didn't feel like there was a point since there were no rewards for them other than a stats tracker

5) It is a balancing act of which job to assign to your guys, but it felt like gathering was needed all the time - I had 5 gatherers and 1 harvester / lumberjack and they still couldnt keep up

6) Once, one of my guys got stuck in place and couldnt move, but he wasnt stuck on anything. Unassigning jobs and reassigning them fixed it. Happened again when I hired a new villager and tried assigning him before closing the upgrade menu. Also happened if I assigned a villager as a gatherer but there was nothing on screen at that moment to gather. Also happened if I clicked the assign button too quickly.

7) If someone else picked up an item, they all still went to that location - so their pathfinding wasn't updated when their target was removed

8) Started lagging when I only had 1 lumberjack and 1 harvester and 11 gatherers and they could not keep up

9) If a new bush / tree spawns, any lumberjacks and harvesters will not see it until unassigned / reassigned 

Great job! I think there was more, but I had a blast! 

Oh - at the beginning, since there were no upgrades, it was hard to know what I should prioritize, so I had no real direction at first. It was cool figuring it out, but just another piece I wanted to add :)

Thank you for your detailed feedback.

  • Crops falling in unaccessible places, I think I’ll have to check if the place they are landing on is reachable before putting them there
  • I’ll improve the camera speed, maybe add a setting to adjust that
  • the trunk upgrade allows lumberjacks to chop the trunk of trees.
  • for villagers getting stuck I’ve not yet found a great solution.
  • the system that monitor trees and crops is to be improved
  • for the lagging part, another player reported it to me too, it may be due to the way I handle the pathfinding, the method I use requires more resources. I’ll work on that too
  • for the balancing part, of workers vs gatherers. I’m thinking of adding an upgrade that allows gatherers to carry multiple crops

All of these sound like great improvements! I also wanted to mention that some of the new trees and bushes would spawn on places they could not go, so the villagers came to a standstill since there were no more available bushes / trees / items to pickup. The improvement for villagers to carry more would be huge! The island looks super cool and I just wanted my guys to explore the land and explore the caves and see what else I could discover, so that what was mostly motivating me to keep playing. Great game!
