I can get the younger ones to pick up mushrooms and other things laying about. I can get the farmers and some others to pick up wood and dried grass. Dont know how to light fires, find other food, or anything else. I need alot of help here and some ideas what do I do next to take care of them, or get them to care for themselves. This is my second try...I killed them all off the first try out. I am so lost here and if there is somewhere to go to get some insight on how to do this, it would be very helpful.
Thanks for any help you can give.

hello marcy426
to light a fire u drag a farmer(or anyone else but this increases the farmers ability) and they will light the fire. The bee hive u need the fire going and then pick up one off the burnt out torches and the villager should say 'trying an idea...' then the smoke will calm the bees enoygh for them to give u honey.
happy gaming
i am new to so dont worry

Found the quickest way to build up tech points was to drag every single available villager to the lab and have them all research like mad. Had at least a dozen tonite working on that and was able to get the 35000 tech points needed. If I can only get them to co operate more LOL.

I was able to kill the sharks using level 2 nature on the second attempt. The first attempt LOL blew up the potion. Now, I'm working on getting them to rebuild the statue, keep getting my master builders saying more research is needed when I put them in front of the blackboard. Any hints on how to get them to move more quickly??

Hello:

I believe you need level 3 restoration and level 3 leadership to accomplish this task. That is the additional research that needs to be done before your builder can draw up the plans. Hope this helps!

At the moment LOL I am working on my level 3 restoration, then I'll probably go for the leadership. It's too bad when ya have to wait, sometimes I just have no patience at all.

I've been playing this game since 6/08 - maybe this will save some frustration . . .

Here's a tip and trick I haven't read on this site yet -- double your points on food/collectables by hitting Pause (the space bar), drag a child on top of it, then drag a second child on top or next to the item, tap pause for the first child to pick up and double tap for the second child to pick up. You have to practice and you get two times the point values! I'm working on child #3 and #4 - no success with that yet.

Save your cave for the 3rd or 4th generation so you still have builder tech available.

You can build the statue with level two restoration and leadership and a chief.

Good Luck and Happy Gaming!

puzzle 7 is clearing the rocks. u'll find them at very bottm of screen under the sick bay ( where all ur villagers go 2 wen there ill) just drag n drop ne villager on top of them till says there clearin the rocks its best 2 get a builder 2 do this. the better the builder rankng n the more builders will make it get done faster. also if u click on the rocks from time 2 time as there getting cleared it will tell u how much % is cleared

ahhh iv found the answer..... 4 ne1 els having this prob its the game its self got a bug in it so when u do the statue quest it wont work no matter wat u do, same with few other things. u have 2 make sure u get the 1.00.04 version of the game were all the probs r fixed and theres a few bonuses

such as:

-Decorations added in science lab for completed collections
-Final puzzle now correctly registered as complete.
-Further improvements to statue puzzle
-Problems with villagers being \'sticky\' at statue when high up on path
-Cursor \'trails\' during tutorial
-Problems with chief not staying on task in \'game off\' mode fixed.
-Orchard trees now produce a bit more food/hour

Sorry if it's a stupid ques........... but how do u drink potion?

No such thing as a stupid question !
Just drop any villager on the potion vat unless they have potions as a dislike in their stats, then watch them turn tail and skedaddle. For these rare villagers you must feed them more often or else they could sicken and die.

This will help keep your tribe alive.

Can I have two tribes at once, or two paths for the same tribe without buying another game? _can't quite see it

I have tried the "light and springy" potion several times, but I can't get my chief to be "springy" enough to get the gem, any ideas????

Switching man and girl onto parenting helps to produce babies. But don't leave the man as a parent, put him back to his usual vocation - -unless you want lots and lots of babies.

I have finished first game (alchemy faction)) and am starting the nature faction game. Never did find out what that cone and ellipse puzzle was, but that made no difference. Might find ont in this game. One thing I promised myself - -have plenty of builders of the same gender, especially Masters. Ran into complications in the statue repair, and lot of unexpected babies, as many villagers were adept parents
