Hey all! Been reading a lot of posts, thanks for all the great tips.

I am just starting out, and one of my villagers is really weak, getting weaker. I have made him eat, plus bought the first Medicine upgrade (I can't afford the 2nd one yet) but he is not getting better - is there anything else I can do? He isn't sick, so if I try to have someone heal him, he thinks they're trying to get it on with him

Also, the coconut trees - do the coconuts ever come back like the berries on the bush did in VV1?

I have lost a whole village and 2/3rds of another. One thing I discovered in VVI was if you drop whomever is doing the healing at the top of the "sick" person you are more likely to have him healed. At least nursing mothers in VVII can be healed. I have also had to sometimes have the kids do the healing. Sometimes it takes someone of the same gender.

You can improve a weak villager's health in several ways in VV:TLC. The simplest way, which is available from the very beginning of the game, is to have them eat repeatedly at the food bin. Also, switching them to farming or doctor will reduce the injuries that can cause them to be weak.

The coconuts do come back, but not very quickly.

Thanks! I started making him eat repeatedly and he is getting better already. I guess I gave up on that idea too quickly before, I didn't see any difference when I did it once, so I thought it wasn't helping. I should be more patient!

how do you get the coconuts

you have to have the right tech

Will the coconuts come back even if the supply isn't repleted? Do I have to take them all before I wait out the next batch?

No, they should replenish even if you don't harvest all of them -- but it really takes a long time!

there is a stew recipe that will help.
