Hello everybody! I just bought this last night and started playing. I played until I had enough tech points to put them on the nature path. Before I went to bed, I put them in slow-mo time. I got up this morning and there is no food left. I did finally get one of them to plant one thing -- but that's got a long time before it's ready. I woke to find a master builder and a master scientist. I have my chief -- but I accidentally had her use her power last night and I'm getting the message that she can't help. Besides mushrooms, I don't know what to focus on - the broken lift? Clearing leaves? Trying to make a potion? Oh, and I gave more tech points to Restoration this morning.

Do you guys advise me to just start over again? If I should try for the potions (I've tried twice already -- one said it works better if they have food and the other made the chief sick!)can you suggest what to choose?

Look in the potions thread, there is something useful in there for gaining another food source. In the mean time, put all your villagers on the research table, you'll gain points quicker

Thanks. I don't know this site very well, so I hope I can find the potions part. I really don't want to lose these little people, they are so cute! So, I shouldn't be bothering with having my master builder work on "fixing" something? Also, can anyone recommend what I should do with my tech points next time when I finally have enough to use again?

Oh, I found the potions place -- so I don't need help with that.
