Jobs

Basic Description
There are quite a few types of work your villagers can do to contribute to the island.

Jobs
Here is a list of all lines of work a tribesperson can be set.

Fishing
This is where the villager enters the water surrounding the island, collects fish and adds it to the food stores.

Wood Gatherer
Where a villager chops trees down with axes and adds the collected wood to the pile.

Rock Gatherer
The same as Wood Gatherer, except mining rocks with a pickaxe instead of hacking trees with an axe, and bringing stone to the stores.

Construction
A tribe member may become a builder, and help with constructing new huts, towers, storehouses and more using a mallet, and previously gathered wood and stone.

Agriculture
These tribespeople plant flowers and vegetables, as well as harvest the latter once they're ripe.

Science
Scientists work at built science labs, earning science points that the player can use to upgrade a section of the Science page (Agriculture, Construction, Technology or Arts).

Art
Artists make requested new clothes for various tribe members, including themselves if needed, at built craftworkses.

Guide

Now click on the "Details" button below their portrait on the right side of the screen.



As you can see, this tribe member, Sharlie, is a retired legendary scientist, and is currently training in construction.



Her Construction priority box is ticked. Fill a priority box with a green ✓ by clicking on it. This will make the villager do that particular job, even if they have no experience with it. Ticking multiple boxes will make the villager perform all the different tasks seperately at random intervals.

Large differences between a tribe member's personal physical and mental strengths also plays into their performance at selected jobs. For example, making a villager with "fair" physical strength and "great" mental a scientist would be a good idea. While making this villager something like a builder wouldn't be a necessarily bad idea, the villager won't perform quite as well.

You can view a villager's physical and mental strengths near the top of an individual's Details screen, beside their portrait.
