Suggestions

Food is always a little scarce on a remote island so your villagers can learn (at some point) that they can make a delicious stew that will last for some while and it doesn't "cost" so much. Besides, with the right recipe you can actually do wonders in getting your villagers in great shape again or even perform a few miracles. Nevertheless, keep in mind that food sources get exhausted in time and it takes a lot of research to get a steady source. My advice is that you don't extend your initial population too much before you are able to feed everybody. Before you really get to "work" let me just give you a little inside info so you don't waste too much time and effort. First of all keep in mind that you will need 3 (three) master builders to complete one of the puzzles so make sure you put these chosen ones to work as soon as possible (not that you won't have a chance to get them adequately trained later, but that would be much, much later on). You will also need to train at least one village elder, that is get a villager to master three different skills. I'll let you in a little trick to get a villager's parenting skill up rather quickly. You can just drop him/her over a representative of the opposite sex without allowing them to reach the intimate beach house at all. You'll see the parenting skill going right up. Of course, this still takes time and you will be required to do a lot of clicking, but at least you'll get a master parent in about half an hour rather than days. It works even better if the female you've selected is beyond her 50s so she doesn't get pregnant. Another useful tip would be to use the research points to "buy" the Technologies in the exact ascending order of their cost. Level 3 Medicine won't help your villagers avoid dying of starvation because you failed to research level 2 Farming. Clicking on the mask on the main game screen offers different tips, but if you still experience trouble with the puzzles (or you're just curious to know what more needs to happen) feel free to look over following solutions.
