Assign Subjects
To assign a subject to the kitchen, tap on the worker, then hold and drag him there. Watch your food meter on the top of your screen. This is a progress bar marked with a wheat icon. If it falls below the threshold your subjects will begin to starve.

You can choose the option to watch an advert to speed up your production. Simply tap on the Rush Tab.
Assign a subject to the Oil Press. When the subject is over the workstation you wish to assign hip to that workstation will be highlighted. Leave the subject there to continue working. Collect the oil drop when it is available. Oil is used to light up your castle. If the oil runs out the castle will go dark, and your subjects stop working.
Another way to assign subjects to your workstations is to simply tap on the workstation. The mini card will open, then tap on one of the open subject slots on the right-hand side of the card.
