You should find help in the VV3 guides

or...I can try to help if you begin highlighting here:spoiler: I'm assuming your lift is fixed. Once the lift is fixed, wait for rain. As it begins to rain put an adult villager on the square platform. Villager's bottom bar should read 'standing on the lift'. Wait for the bucket to completely fill. A seed will drop and you can plant it. I haven't needed to make it rain with the weather dance for this, but if you want or need to do the weather dance and lift repair, the detailed answers are in the link above. end highlight

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

On the VV3 guides list it shows a pic of the spear, but I cannot find it Please help. Also my village is out of food & I haven't found another food source. Please Please help before they start dying off

The only way to find the spear is to look carefully for it. It is probably the most difficult to find of the alchemy items, due to its size and color.

The tips in this post might help you with the starvation problem.

Thank you so much for the help...I did not lose one villager, village is doing great now...Ya'll are great

I have formulated a way to get UNLIMITED free food WITHOUT HACKING AND without spending ANY tech points or farming for ANY food. All you need is a tribal cheif and a way to adjust the time on your computer clock. Here is how its done (highlight to see instructions):

1. Go to your tribe and PAUSE IT!
2. EXIT VV3.
3. Fast-forward your computer clock 24 hours.
4. Open VV3 and un-pause your tribe.
5. Drop your cheif on top of the food bin; in her or his 'action' box-ey rectangle-ey thingy, it should read 'Creating Magic Food!'. Your cheif will then wave their arms in a weird ritual kind of dance thing and, Voila! You will magically gain food! Plus, you will have not lost ANY food because your village was on pause. You can't eat when your stuck to the ground and can't move can ya'?

Hope this helped!

Eek...that's like time traveling. That is very risky to your game and computer. There are several threads about this. I'm not sure advising adjusting the clock is the best idea because of the problems it can lead to.

That's not a good idea, Bunny!
It's not hacking but it's cheating just the same. And Bethlham is right, It's time traveling and very, very dangerous for your computer!
