I had one couple have a baby (played the trial with the help feature on - but I did buy the game!). I am in the beginning of the game still (6 people, my son acidentally killed one or I would have 7) and since then I haven't been able to have any more. The "baby" is almost a teenager and won't get anymore mushrooms soon. Every time I try to get some love shack thing goin on, I get an either, "your villager has improved at breeding" or "they are too hungry to think about that"

What do I do? I have puzzles 1 thru 5 and #8 completed. I also have a master builder (but everyone else is adept) I have level 2 for farming and construction and I keep wondering what do I have to do to get these people in the mood?

Thanks!

You need to make you're villagers farm.

if you have food in your bin, let your villagers eat it. when they are done eating, it should say "your villager feels better after eating.". repeat this process until they are full enough to breed

Keep trying to get people to farm! Even though building might be thier specialty you can still get people to farm. It might take a few tries though but it is still possible. Also, on thier detail screen, uncheck biuling and put in farming. They wont breed until you have some food.

Ok... I have the farm built and they have been farming like crazy. I split them up into farming (to keep food supply up cause we haven't figured out the fishing thing) and research so I can get those tech points to move up in the levels.

I've gotten them to reproduce with 0 food in the bin. You just have to keep on throwing them together over and over. Even if they've "improved at breeding" they won't get a baby every time. Usually at the beginning of the game I might have to throw them together 10 times to get them to have a baby (that's ten times in one go, not waiting a few minutes and trying again).

Good! now wait until the food is at about 500 and then you can make some more babies!

ok... so when we have successful fertilization, both of them should come out of the hut and the woman should be carrying a baby right? they don't "show" pregnant do they?

I know these are dummy questions but I am kinda already addictedt to this game and I am thinking that my (real) family is going to run out of clean laundry and starve to death.

Sometimes it takes a bit for the baby to show up in the moms arms but it will. But they dont get a baby ever time they..........yeah........
