So, I converted all the heathens, including the yellow and red masks, and the Rascal. I've read that the mud hut or filthy encampment is either rebuilt or transformed. How? Am I supposed to use a god power, or do the villagers fix it up? Under what conditions? I've looked around, but I couldn't find any answers. I'd really like to know please.

Drop your builders on the mud hut. This should work if they don't automatically go and start working on it.

Everyone ran to fix up the mud house automatically. It was swamped with peeps. I didn't have to do anything buy watch. Hope yours worked in the end...

You can tell because

it is covered in flowers, and the grass is grown back with wildflowers. Try dropping some builders on it to see if they complete it if you didn't see this.

Is there a trick to it? I've dropped several villagers onto it, including an elder, fully trained. They just ignore it. I'd realy like to clean that spot up, since I first started playing.

Yes, all the heathens are converted, all the puzzles done, and I still have all the powers.

My villagers (1 farmer and 1 builder or 2 farmers) automatically re-decorated it after last heathen had been converted (although due Island Events there's been 2 heathens after that).

Since writing, I've dropped many villagers, of all skills, onto the encampment. No results at all. Is there a special spot to put them on? I've tried the mud hut, the dead fire pit, all around the edge...everywhere. Does everybody but me get a flower garden? eek

Your villagers should automatically goto decorate it so sounds like a bug.

I can't get my encampment cleaned up either. The game is finished, I got almost all the trophies, eveyone is converted, but nobody sees the encampment anymore and walk off if I drop them on it.

I thought it was quite humorous that their idea of fixing up the mud hut was to put flowers on it. I mean, you can put a dress on a pig, but it's still a pig... laugh laugh laugh I think they should have kicked it down, made a bunch of dust clouds and such, and then built a nice hut over it.

I have two games in one after I converted everyone
Click to reveal..
I had three children in blue masks show up after "being lost". when I converted them then my villagers cleaned up the mud hut.

But, in my other tribe nothing has happened and it's a older tribe with everyone converted like three days longer.

Click to reveal..
earthquke will give light above them u just have to do it over and over till they slowly change. You need to wait though till the light goes off to redo it or it's just a waste. So it takes a few days.

I don't get it I can't get any of my villagers to fix the encampment. I try dropping them on it to fix it but they just stand there and do nothing. Can only master builders fix it or does there have to be a mix of skills. PLEASE HELP ME

As far as I know,
Click to reveal..
no particular skills are necessary. It's always happened automatically in all of my games once the last heathen has been converted: Villagers run over to the encampment and 'transform' it. Just takes them a few moments (not minutes), you will not see any scaffolding or % completed. I have attached an image below.

Other players have said they've had to drop a villager on the mud hut once the last heathen has been converted to get the process going. I've never had to do that. I am on a iMac running OS X 10.4.11

But my villgers only walk through it to get to the lake they never stop to fix it or anything. Could this be a glitch? Also how did you get the huts to look like that?

Cyborg, did you install the update (1.00.01)? MissKathy's huts are a product of a modification (a.k.a mod).

You can download the huts from the VV3 Mods section here.

When and which villagers? I have tried and absolutely nothing happens. I don't even see any villager comments (like xx sees what might be a hut, or xx sees the science...)

Odd that it is not even mentioned in the guide.

@Cyborg and BlueRiverWynn: I posted the answer to your question here, as it doesn't have anything to do with the 'filthy encampment'. smile

Perhaps because it's not a puzzle that has to be solved nor an obstacle to be overcome. Just a thought. smile

The guide was written, edited and sent to the art team prior to the addition of the transformation of the encampment, which is why it's not mentioned there. There is a fix for the filthy encampment situation in the 1.00.01 update (it's mentioned in the readme file as "Fixed interrupted island cleanup sequence.").

Actually it doesnt really matter to me even though I am not able to fix the encampment I will not start the game over. I love my villagers and I will continue to take care of them.

I had the same problem. After all heathens had been converted the encampment was beautified. I never saw how it happened - all the villagers came to celebrate and after that the encampment was cleaned up. This time my last heathen was converted by an island event and the encampment was not fixed up. I've dropped farmers, builders, esteemed elders and the retired chief on it and they just walk away or go fishing.

That is evidently a bug. Since it depends on a relatively rare sequence of events it was presumably not picked up during the beta tests.

I think I read somewhere that if you ever get an event that gives you more heathens, and you then convert that heathen, you have a second chance to fix up the filthy encampment. I've had events give me more heathens after I had already converted every heathen and fixed up the encampment, so you can certainly hold out hope that this will happen to you.

I'm surprised that the encampment wasn't one of the puzzles. That and converting the red and yellow heathens.

My first time through the game, the villagers just cleaned up the encampment on their own after the last heathen (hate that word) was converted (hate that word too). Second time I played it, I converted the Chief last, and the villagers just ignore it. Sigh.

Zippie, the issues you are experiencing were fixed in a later version (1.00.01).

I can assist you with receiving the update, since I see that you purchased it from us earlier in January. Please fill out this Support Form and I'll help you with that as quickly as possible. smile

Thanks Heather. Will I lose my tribes? My grandson has a tribe going and I would hate for him to lose it. As for myself, I can't see myself playing through this game again. It's my least favorite of all the VV games. It was fun to figure out all the puzzles the first time through, but I find this game very annoying. I've gone back to playing VV1 now smile

There's a backup procedure that will help you keep his tribe safe, but the problems, unfortunately, will only be fixed in future tribes. (link to the backup below)

Hello everyone smile

I have been a long-time fan of the virtual village series of games and am thoroughly grateful for the latest, vv-5.
Click to reveal..

All the puzzles are done, level 3 on all counts, population is booming at 65 last count and all the blue-masked heathens have been converted. I just got the 'Gain Youth' God Power.

I've looked through a lot of discussion strings and can not find the answer to where I am stuck: How do we convert the red & yellow masked heathens? I Have been shining sun on them - don't know if that is actually doing anything. From all the discussion, it seems to be the next thing to do?


thanks,

You need the earthquake power to convert them. Just keep using it as soon as you get the chance everytime and you'll have them all in little to no time.
