After a long time away from the joys of these games, I'm back, and I've decided to work my way through each of the VV games again.

VV1 is complete and thriving - I look in every so often, to discover what's been happening.

I'm close to 'completing' VV2, just a couple more puzzles to go, but... here's the catch... When I move onto VV3, I'd like to do the same as I'm currently doing with VV1 - ie starting VV2 up occasionally to see how they've done in my absence - except that they don't seem to even attempt to keep the fire fuelled without direct intervention!

Am I limited to having to start it up every 19 hours (or twice that on half-speed), or once everything is totally complete do they discover how to do it themselves? (or not 'need it' anymore)

Yours,

Ann-Marie

Although the fire does go out, the villagers do seem to be able to live without it. They might get ill more frequently, but I've left VV2 games running for months on end without checking on them and returned to find a viable community still there.
