Welcome to Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children forum

No, Terrie, not yet. I just started a new game yesterday evening so noone is really advanced yet. It still extremely puzzles me why I don't have the three small pebbles, though. I'm pressing through this time to see what can be accomplished.

Have a great day!

LOL I finally got my last level of Exploration this morning but I'm taking my time with my 28 adults (5 younguns) uncovering the viney wall and the ancient area. I want to start my 15 year olds on their building skills so I can have a whole crop of Elders in 10-15 yrs.
Then I'll have to start a whole new game....Oh btw, LDW is 80% finished on their newest game!!!!
I'm sooo excited!!!
P.S. Are you sure you're looking in the right area for the pebbles? They may not "appear" until you get higher technology. Let me doublecheck...Yeah, new game - no pebbles...Sorry

LOL - elder crops! I like that! how do they taste in the stew? just kidding.

I have always thaought the pebbles were there from the start but maybe they will appear when I reach a higher level. I had not thought about that. One of the games I stopped (deleted) had level two of almost everything.

Enjoy your game...enjoy life!

To make the cutting tools for the briars, you must have Level 2 Exploration. Then they'll show up in the area where your farmer got the parts for the scarecrow.

I keep seeing posts that say "you need a Master xxxxx" to do so-and-so. As far as I know, there are only three things that need Masters in a skill. One, you will need three Master Builders to open the crate on the beach. (You DON'T have to clear the briars first - the villagers will just leave the Gong piece in the crate for someone to pick up later, if the briars haven't been cleared when you open it.)

Secondly, you need a Master Scientist to make the cutting tools.

Thirdly, once you purchase Level 3 Farming, you must have EITHER Master Scientists or Master Farmers (or both, as many as you have available) to catch the algae-eating fish in the pool.

Building the scarecrow, for example, can be done by an Adept Farmer.

You also need at least one villager who is an Elder, which is a Master in any three different skills.

Hi all...it's me again.

I got the cutting tools made - I have L2 of every category, no L3s yet. What I am currently stumped about are the herbs. It seems to me that I used to be able to drag any adult to the herb plants at the beginning of a new game and they would learn the herb. Now, even at L2 and I have masters at research, farming, and building - but noone is learning hearbs. They walk away either shaking their heads or 'improved at healing'. I cannot collect any herbs without them actually learning it. Please help.

Thank you!

I could use some help. I am new to the game, my villagers are starving to death, I have algae, I can only get one master builder and research is going to slow. I don't know what to do.

you need L2 of farming (1500 tech points) to harvest cococuts but you need L2 Engineering (5k tech points) to get the dam built as quickly as possible. Any villager can be drug to the rocks just south of the small stream to build the dam. As soon as the dam is built you will have a farm that will supply you with 800 food points at the beginning of each new harvest.

Good luck and happy gaming. Hope this helped. Now I wish someone would answer my question.

I love this game had to buy it... my kids love it too ... fun for whole family...5

jon_jacque, to actually collect herbs, you have to start a stew. Since you have L2 Exploration, you should have the cauldron. To make stew, drop a villager on the cauldron & they'll put it on the fire. Drop them on it a second time, and they'll add water to the stew. A third time, and they'll add food to the stew. In the meantime, you can have other adult villagers collecting herbs for the stew. any combination of 3 herbs. There are 56 possible combos, but only 18 different "recipes". Some are good, some are bad.

BTW, having a villager study the herbs & improve at healing is a really good way to train a healer without anyone actually being sick.

If, however, you're trying to get the herb puzzle solved, just make sure you've taken a villager to all six of the herbs & gotten the message about "they understand this herb now", or whatever it is.

Help, i need the pot to make the stew in, what do i have to do to get that please.

Hi Everybody
I got a new computer and am sooo busy catching up on all my games. It's good to see you Dayna and hello to Peach and Sapphire, glad you and yours are enjoying our most favorite little people game Iwoodard!
It appears that Last day of Work has hit a slump on their newest Virtual Families...still at 90% completion...no new sneak peeks or hints, sighhh.
Hey Sapphire, you need to get level 2 Exploration (stewpot) which costs 10,000 tech points so get your scientists to work at the tech table!
Have fun everyone and hope to see you around in the pond.

ive looked all over for the 'sharp stone' i need to build my cutting but i cant seem to find it ive got a master scientist and a L2 exploring but its not there . pleasee help!

Also i carnt find the cauldron? any suggestions plzz.

well i dont know how to put water on the soil!HELP!

COMPLETED ALL PUZZLES , GOT ALL COLLECTABLES, HAVE NUMEROUS ELDERS, ACHIEVED ALL LEVELS, RANG GONG SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE OODLES OF FOOD AND TECH POINTS. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE OR HAVE I COMPLETED THE GAME?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the algea in the water?

I think the game is not fun anymore once you have completed all of the puzzles and collected all of the collectibles

Does anyone know how to keep the birds from eating the crops. The farm is my only food sorce and my villagers are dyeing of hunger.

The sharp stone is right next to the grave yard and the vines to complete the tool are right under the stone. The stone does not really look like a stone but if you bring a master scientist over next to the grave yard and above the vines then it should say "your villager sees something" then drop your villager and he will begin making the tool. I hope this helps.

Building a scarecrow will solve that problem.
All you need is an adept farmer to fashion one out of the twisted sticks near the blue rose.
