Mine is taking FOREVER to download....guess I'm lucky to even have a signal out here

Wahhhhhh, woke up this morning and all but 2 of my villagers are dead and there's no food. My hive and tree don't produce enough to sustain them. I've built the lift and tried the rain trick, but nobody stays on the lift long enough. Is there a food source that I'm missing here?

Are you putting your villager on the lift before the rain starts, or right after the rain starts? A villager won't stay on the lift indefinitely. The initial food sources that are available at the start of the game (Puzzle 2 and the first tree) will not sustain your tribe, so you must successfully use the lift.

I tried it both ways actually, but I think I may have tried using a child thinking they were lighter. It was late and I'd been up for HOURS playing. Gonna start a new game when I get home from work and try it again from scratch. Thanks for getting back to me LadyCFII!

PS, any idea when the strategy guide might be out? Some of us old folks don't have the logical thinking skills we used to

We're not exactly sure how soon we will have a strategy guide available. We have been so busy getting the game ready that we just haven't had the time to write one yet.

so far I have the honey, mushrooms and the banana tree....and I'm sure there is still more to find

FOUND THE STEW FOR THIRD FOOD SOURCE

YOU HAVE TO HAVE LEVEL 2 OF NATURE FACTION, YOU WILL FIND ANOTHER HERB , CARRY ONE OF YOUR VILLAGERS AROUND AND YOU WILL FIND IT. TO MIX THE STEW YOU NEED: NOX + NOX + PITCHER PLANT

SORRY FOR MISLABEL OF PLANTS, YOU USE BLACK ORCHID+BLACK ORCHID+ PITCHER PLANT

eventuslly the tree and bee hive both run out....:( collect as many mushrooms as u can the red ones are worth more

If you get a villager to ride the lift a fruit will drop. I used my farmer to get the fruit and she planted it... I have a full orchard with three trees
