HELP! FOUND 13 OF SPECIAL STEWS BUT,CAN'T FIND OUT OTHER THREE.

The recipes are listed in the game guide.

So do you think you could help me with this one. My pot showed up real late and now they will only put one kind of herb in the pot. And that is when I can get them to put any in the pot.

How many herbs have your villagers mastered?

All of them as far as I can tell. They have solved that puzzle. So I had thought all of them. (oops

Maybe you're doing things out of order? You have to make sure that one of your villagers prepares the cauldron before trying to add any ingredients. What I usually do is set one villager to get water, then 3 different villagers to gather the herbs. Finally, after the water is added, I'll have the water-carrier get the food. I've never had a problem doing it that way.

Here are the steps:

SPOILERS: Highlight below to read:

• drag a villager to the fire; he will move the cauldron onto the fire;
• drag one or more villagers to three herbs; watch to make sure they are 'collecting' not 'studying';
• drag a villager to the fire; he will set off to add water;
• drag a villager to the fire; he will set off for food;
• when the last villager returns the stew should be ready. You can add water and food before the villager/s add the herbs if you want.

The game will not tell you which stews you have already made. You need to keep your own records of the stews you have made so you can figure out which ones you are missing.

Here are all 18 stews that the game considers unique. Note that a unique stew can sometimes be made by more than one recipe. Each of the recipes below is for a different unique stew. If you make each of the below recipes, you will get credit for all 18 different stews, which is the most you can have. There is no one on the LeaderBoard with more than 18 stews. Note that V=Black, B=Blue, R=Red, O=Orange, W=White, P=Purple. Do not confuse B with Black. B is Blue. V is Black (it is the Black Vine).

*VVV*, *WVV*, WWV, WRR, *RRR*, WBV, BBB, WBR, WBP, *PPO*, PPP, *VOO*, PRO, VRO, ROO, BRR, WWR, WWW

The ones with asterisks are more useful than the rest. Whether you want to skill up your builders/doctors; you are into eugenics and need to "off" your ugly/lazy villagers; you want to increase the health bar of weakened villagers, or you want to stop breathing during a deep dive for that elusive gong piece, there is a stew for you.

SPOILER ALERT! The information above might spoil the game for those people reading this thread who are inspired to find the solutions for themselves. For this reason it is written in the same color as the background. if you wish to view this text, click and hold the main mouse button, and drag your mouse over the empty appearing space above, starting from the TOP (to avoid inadvertently clicking on the hidden hyperlinks at the bottom). This will highlight the text, making it visible. Thank you!

Somewhere I read that a stew will improve my builder's skill. I can't find that recipe.

Yes, this is true. Hint: It is one of the recipes in my post above. it is one of the ones with an asterisk. Just remember, you have to let the villager complete what the stew makes him start to do. After he completes this activity which may take a minute or two, he will either shake his head (no building skill gained) or you will get the message this villager increased his building skill. As long as you keep the stew pot full, bored or hungry villagers will visit it!
