How do I earn more tech points? I'm at a stand still at the moment because I don't have enough tech points to purchase the levels I need to move on!!!!

research and more research ....

Does it have to be at the research table or just them working on a master at building or something like that?

For tech points they need to work at the research table

You only get tech points by researching at the table, afaik.

Getting a "master" rating only makes them better at that particular job -- but the better your scientists are, the more tech points they earn at a time (so master scientists get more tech points than adept scientists than trainee scientists).

If you are really desperate for more points quickly without cheating, you can sit at the research table and force the little guys to work -- I've noticed they do a little "dance" when they gain tech points (it's like a little curtsey), and you can immediately pick them up and put them back at the table to research more. But that's a lot of effort -- I prefer to just let the game run in the background if I'm waiting for tech points.

Only at the research table. Get those little villagers to the research table and make them stay there until their legs hurt... it's the only way to rack up those tech points and the more the merrier.

Thanks !!!!!!!

i got all my stuff for the tech points my spiritiaul is full and my farmin is and my science my breedin but it still wont tell me how to move that boulder?

It depends on what other puzzles you've completed. All I'll say about the boulder is that it will not be moved by any of your villagers and you cannot initiate it. If you have the right "person" on your island, it will happen in it's own time. You just have to be patient.

I have ov er a half a million tech points now and I hve bought all the levels I wish you guys would put more things to buy wit h tech points after you have achieved level 3 on all fronts.

I tend to agree somewhat but I just changed my scientist to more useful villagers like builders, healers, farmers and most importantly, breeders. Once I was done with tech research, I just didn't bother having scientists and there have been no adverse effects to this so far.

The boulder is one of the last puzzles to solve. It does take the 'right' villager for it to be accomplished. I hopw that I did not let any 'cats out of the bag' on this reply...

Your villagers automatically stop researching once you have all the techs bought. I find it most useful to not check their boxes in later stages of the game, that way when you have everything bought they automatically start working on other things they are good at without your intervention instead of just standing in the middle of the village not working
