Villagers can develop several or even all skills (which is required and time-consuming, but there is an easy workaround discussed at the start of the next page). The bars on the right side of the character information screen relate to their skills and will fill up as they become better at the task.

Information on the villager’s skills can be seen by selecting them and pressing. Any reference to “a Villager” means that anyone can do it, eg. If an Adept Builder is mentioned, a Master can also complete the task. Many of the puzzle tasks can only be performed by villagers of a certain level. The more skilled a villager is, the more likely they are to succeed (there aren’t any negative outcomes if they fail nothing happens). Skills move from “Untrained” to “Adept” and up to “Master”. To develop a skill, the villager simply needs to perform the relevant task collecting food improves Farming for example. There are 5 skills that villagers can develop – Farming, Healing, Building, Research and Gathering.

So, if in doubt you can just drag your villagers around the island and see what happens.

The island is littered with resources and buildings you’ll want your villagers to interact with – just drag them onto the item to do so. Moving a villager is as simple as hovering over them and holding, releasing to put them down. Villagers can be selected by hovering over them and pressing, or by cycling through them all with and.
