Rockmower,

I agree... maybe the tinkle happens when the little ones go behind the lab...

Patches is adorable!

i mixed lotus, tiger lily and rose and it blew up and killed my adept scientist, very sad - dead at 21 of a work accident.

think the tinkling is just wind chimes on upper right corner like the owl hooting.

my tribe is starving,, can't get points quick enough,
chief was a 3 yr old boy,

I am new to this forum. My name is Monacat & live in Georgia. I am however not new to VV I have played and played 1 & 2. I am a bit lost in 3. Need to find food sources. Sorry about your scientist I would have cried as I do get attached to the little people..LOL Looking forward to meeting you all.

hi Monacat, yeah, we have played 1 &2 forever it seems like, gotta get those 50,000 points to get level 2 so you can make the potion to get rid of the sharks so they can fish. potion, is orchid, orchid, pitcher, just have an adult drink it and they go and dump some in the ocean. would love to find the other tree seeds, no answer so far. take care.........

That recipe only works in one of the factions; the other one has a different special plant.

right i forgot to mention that, finally got the tree seeds, duh, was fun to watch them do it tho'

I believe the "tinkling chimes" are to alert you that a collectible has just appeared somewhere.
