I just started today and I AM ADDICTED. I need to get more tech points quicker. Anyway to get points faster or do anything faster. I am afraid my berry bush is going to run dry before I can do anything else. A monkey came and I lost all my tech points. Dang Monkey!!!

Welcome!! Congrats! Glad you found forum, it helped me a great deal when I first became addicted.

Check the Guides Section of this forum for general and/or spoiler help. Enjoy your villagers )

Does the berry tree get more berries? I have picked it clean. I am doing well with farming but would like some more options. I would think it would grow more? My villagers are running like a smooth machine now. Just hope that danged monkey does not return.

some berries should start appearing just around the start of each new crop cycle.

Check the Berry Bush thread too if you wish to find out more about it. ^^

I have gotten tech points quicker by going into my time clock and advancing the time about an hour.I made sure that I always have at least one farmer getting the food,and the rest I put at the table to get tech points, then I advance the time.But be careful,don't advance too much.I made that mistake and it took longer for the garden to reach harvesting time.I have played this game a number of times.Every new game you play with vv is honestly different.GOOD LUCK.Great Game.

Yea only problem with advancing time is you can never go back. So if your happy with your computer in the 2007 year sure cheat . But the first time you drop it back a week to undo your advancements the farms/nursing mothers will have more time left than youll probably ever catch up to

VM is right about the clock...it can be a hazard in many ways particularly in crop times, I think the downsides outweigh the upsides....

I think the safest option to increase tech points is the "kick" trait the VV's have....when you have as many as possible on the research table, watch out for the little kick movement, when they do that they have added tech points...so keep picking them up after they kick to help increase your tech points faster.

It is time consuming, and patience is required, but if you are in a bind it does help.

I am playing Village Sim for Palm. It sounds like you all can do more than I can. I am getting frustrated with these crops. I can't get anything done because I have to keep watering them.
