Here's a little hint I got from playing VV2, if you get a mushroom, put your game on pause and then put all the children you have on the mushroom. They will all pick the mushroom so you will get double, triple etc food depending how how many children you get on in time, as it dissappears fairly fast. When you unpause the game, you should find that the kids already on the mushroom will still take their's to the food bin.

Everyone loves magic mushroom's

Why thank you Oldboy!
That tip is quite useful,
and just goes to show
that I knew less than usual.

I also learned that you should teach your villagers to know hot to farm a little bit so when you have no food and only a little bit of crops left, then you can put all your villagers onto the food and they will all pick the little bit of food left.

I tried that,(I mean putting more that one child on a mushroom or collectable) unfortunatly, it didn't work for me. But as VictOria says, the last say 100 food crops put as many as you can on them, while ther's crops, they can still be picked.

I do excitly the same thing to get the food up and I make sure the GC is 1 of them so he not make a party, all lose them.

Hi colourmemagic, not sure why it wont work for you, are you playing the PC version? If not it maybe different, not sure. Also it might just be you didn't get them on in time i.e. before the mushroom "goes" though you can still see it for a few seconds after it's not possible to put more kids on, so when you unpause, the one's already on it take it to the food bin. I think thats how it works anyway, maybe Lady will clarify? Please ...

It worked with the collectibles with me, when you pause and put two kids on the one thing. It didn't quite work with the mushrooms though.

Thanks Rockmower, Love the prose and thx for the tip annthewhofan, hadn't thought of that

Hi Becca123, again, if your'e using the same PC version as me it should work, keep trying, I'm sure you will get it, it realy does work

This works especially good on red mushrooms, get 5 or more kids on it and you're laughing all the way to the food bank
