It took me too long to figure out how to work the lift and many of my best villagers died of starvation. This is depressing. All villagers constantly worried about food, honey runs out, fruit is used up, chief can only do emergency food once a day...And then they died.

One tribe has only 2 people now, a mom age 38 and son age 8. I'm hoping for incest
In the meantime, food is not a problem, for once.

And I have one tribe that may be able to augment their orchard in time. It will be touch and go, 0 food for quite a while and new tree will take hours to mature.

I hope you can save the little tribe. Many people have told heroic tales of just such a situation. You might be inspired to read the Story of the Hard Tribe. You can find it here.

Hi cnm - I'm dare2cnect, and pretty new here. I just read your post and am hoping you can help me some! You sure are further than me! My honey ran out and I don't want my VV's to die! I know that there is supposed to be fruit "high up in the trees", but how the heck do they get to it? I've been concentrating on getting tech points so I could get the next level of "nature" which was supposed to help the food supply to increase but I sure haven't seen an increase! Still 0 food except for the occasional mushroom! Help! What do I do! And what does it mean that the "chief" can do emergency food once a day? How does that happen? Who is the chief? I did manage to plant a tree, not knowing what that is going to do but it will be awhile until it matures. Can you help a little? I do like figuring out as much as I can myself, but I don't want to start over when they all die! I'm kinda starting to love my little villagers!! Thanks much!

Upgrade your Restoration as soon as possible.
Then 3 Adept Builders can restore the lift.
Keep a Farmer standing on the lift's platform, they will be raised up when it rains and a tree seed for planting will fall.

Have each of your Villagers try on the chief's robe. When you have a chief, he/she can grant food, in a limited way.

Villagers won't *stay* on the lift forever. It's best to wait until the first raindrops hit the ground, then put a villager on it.

Bring Chief over to the food hut to grant the food.

dare2cnect, you should also check out the guide in the Guide section of the forum

I think mom and son are going to make it. They're both max healthy and have plenty of food. She'll be getting older, but I think still child-bearing when he grows up.

Your link is not working at this time - I guess we should congratulate you on your server overload, lots of customers

I just checked it and it's OK, so it just depends upon server load.
