So i started playing VV2 on thursday morning before i had to leave for the day and now im looking at my people and they do some wierd things one of my farmers i set as a researcher and he went into the hut next to the table and brought out a basket of berries.....is that wierd? Second i had a little girl pick up a mushroom and it said" collecting item for the scientists" and im sure it was a mushroom.

No, they bring out lots of stuff...you'll see
None of it affects the game play, but it adds a nice touch...some of the things, like the berry basket, are straight from VV1, and some are new!
But the mushroom thing, might be just a pc hiccup?

Ive have seen the same thing, they bring out things like feathers and shells and dry grass, and yes i have had a kid pick a mushroom only to have it say finding an item for scientists.. i think its a glitch, and only when the mushroom is on the mosiac *b4 cleaning*
