dear lady C, i have a question about the hanging key (aka the red stone on the cliff) .. i keep making the light&springy potion (C,L,R) and placing villager to collect it, but all my responses, so far, have been "sees something up high" is there a specific tech level needed before they are able to collect the key? at level 2 in restoration and alchemy and level 1 in the nature faction. have not had enuf skill points for much more than that. i have a lot of the folks working on research. 1 elder, chief, and population at 16, for now. and no food.
with puzzles 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 8 completed.

Make sure that the villager is still sparkling from drinking the potion and drop them at the bottom of the cliff, under the key.

AH -- notes said to drop them on top of the key. i will try the bottom of the cliff then. thank you very much .. was getting more than frustrating.

also, the 3rd tree finally matured enough to feed the village. no food problems for now.
