Is it possible to come back from a population collapse or is it better to just start over after playing for a few hours?
It is possible, but requires some management of workplaces. Starting over is harder, as you have to wait to get research/upgrades.
Berry picker amount upgrade is so powerful alone that makes rebuilding much easier.

I can't really do anything anymore. I'm just hoping to get my 200 population back after killing 90% of them because of a food shortage. I'm stuck around 120. My village is too large for the population, so the population can't grow anymore. I was so close to building a bridge to another island and expanding!

Bro, I got the BOTD yesterday in half an hour. Just complete the tasks until you unlock stone working and don't fire your berry pickers or everyone dies.

What's that? Don't rate the game negatively because you don't let me play it? Tell you what, fix it and I'll change my rating, until then it's 1 star for you.

Well got it running in chrome, but am having a tough time to figuring out how to achieve tasks... spent the last half an hour trying to get research and still have none. The help page in the game isn't very helpful

I will not 1-star this because it makes the BOTD impossible to get on Firefox; it's not fair to blame the developer for something Kong did. I'll even take the dev on their word that supporting Firefox is infeasible. But if you promise me that "adding ?firefox=1 to URL will bypass this check" and it just doesn't... yeah sorry, then you leave me no choice. :(
Thank you, very reasonable! I did enable firefox now, have been working on it for quite some time. (though it runs better on chromium based browsers due to technical reasons). (that url thing is very tricky on kongregate, as it runs in iframe...)

"Unfortunately your browser does not support necessary elements for this game to run" in red text, another game for me to one star compliments of Kongregate

I'm not going to say it's okay for a game not to work on a certain browser, far from it, but firefox, as a matter of fact, *is* a tiny subset of modern browsers. 2.5~3%ish

Dev won't allow the game to even attempt to run on Firefox based browsers, and then begs the player to not down-vote an unplayable game. Seriously?

It started out pretty easy. I didn't get why people were having trouble with it, but then I killed 90% of my population by not realizing that turning off food production for even a minute kills them all because I was running at 10x speed. The most difficult part of the game is making sure the jobs are distributed correctly. It's also annoying to scroll around and click on all those buildings to update priority all the time when a building is full of resources already.

unfortunately your kong does not support necessary intelligence for the BOTD to be earned by all members. I tried hard to support your game, but just can't. For a badged game this does not provide enough gameplay to not be downvoted. I won't keep regularly testing against all odds the dev or kong might change this.

I removed some people from berry pickers for a few minutes to focus on other buildings and my population went from over 200 to 20. Boy, that escalated quickly.

Would be great to have an option to set priority of all buildings of the same type. Too many times when you need to do that you need to painstakingly scroll through the whole map horizontally, then go on to the next row and repeat until you find the building that is taking up all your workers. I have unlocked 7 locations so far, and I already have to scan through thousands of grids to find every building each time. I end up spending 90% of the time changing priorites, until i gave up and just decide to set food and water as 5 and the rest at 1, instead of wasting 10 minutes scanning every building to find out which is the problematic one, playing 1 minute, then wasting 10 minutes again when another problem arises.

A BOTD that cannot be obtained on Firefox? For real? Before, I opted not to rate this game, but now I pretty much have to downvote it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Sorry, Dev, but not working on Firefox nets this an automatic 1/5 from me. Kongregate, before you make something a BOTD, make sure it works on ALL modern browsers, not just a tiny subset of them.

sigh im boored already
this shouldn't b put on a week day imho place it on a sat/sun if yu absolutely must have a botd here
I promise you can play this game freely till the end without much issues. (though the game is a puzzle game also, so it might not be easy. But it is not balanced to take forever, it is very reasonable. Ask people in discord, many play end game without spending money. Spend it if you want to support next developments and you have expendable income :)

soi build the stonemason but he cant work because he needs tools. fine, so build the stone tool maker. but it cant be built because i have no stones... what?

Would it be possible to reduce the size of the game? If not, different button layouts would be nice. Right now, I have to continuously scroll up and down to reach each row of buttons, and this kills the fun (which is a shame because this game could be enojoyable). Usually, in big games like this I can hide a bit of the top and a bit of the bottom then I can play (almost) normally. This is not possible here, so being able to move every button either at the top or the bottom would greatly help.
I improved building information layout, so it now also shows scroll. But I think this might not help here, please PM me with a screenshot how it looks for you. I can then improve it.

Firefox people, don't worry, taken about 4 hours to get enough research to get stone working, only it not to be awarded anyway. Monday's aren't the best day to need a slow burner BOTD. Another game going to be downvoted for poor Kongregate BOTD choice
Firefox is now enabled, but if you didn't get a badge, there is a button to resync badges in case something went wrong with it. You definitely should get it :)

"If you happen to be an expert developer, adding ?firefox=1 to URL will bypass this check" - it does not, and displays that message again. Same does ?firefox=true. Same after Ctrl+F5. Latest Firefox.
Firefox is now supported (though it runs better on chromium based browsers due to technical reasons). This URL thing was tricky on kongregate as game runs in iframe...

There are simply too many random collapses. I was on my way to 100 people goal , had 90 people in huts with berries, fish, tools and water and everything seemed fine. Then all of a sudden it all collapsed and population dropped below 50. I don't know why and I can't sit 10 hours and analyze why. Too bad the game had promise

still stuck at 30,093 Luxury research. It's been liek this for months. i think it is a bug, could you look into this??

Where is the local save stored? I had issues with google chrome, so I reinstalled it from scratch, but I have a backup of the old google chrome folder. So where can I find my saves? Because in game they are not present.

As in real life, my residents prefer to work at the opposite end of the city from their homes... Can I somehow press the "USSR" button to get everyone to move to the houses closest to work?

Colonization appears to be broken, which is a shame because I was enjoying this game quite a bit. Perhaps I will return once it's fixed.

I have been enjoying this game for a long time now but I have run into a fatal issue. I have had stable water supply via pipes and pumping stations throughout my entire population for several days/hours/ticks, etc. All of a sudden I see a farm with every animal dead, then another and another. I realize that the water is no longer pumping through the pipes and it's all getting clogged into 1 pipe near the station. There's no rhyme or reason, I certainly have workers and pipes in stock for repairs. I have tired replacing the pipes and the pump station to no avail. I have been slowly optimizing everything so that meant finding new uses for the space that water huts took up. Well now that for some unknown reason that water isn't pumping I have to revert backwards or completely unstabilize my population.
