Hi,

I have been playing VV2 for a while now (since it's out) and I'm at my second tribe. My first one is pretty much done, I have the max villagers, all the puzzles done, I'm just getting elders and changing clothes. So I know what I'm suppose to do, but for some odd reason in my second tribe, I can't get the darn cauldron out of the wood pile and I can't get my master scientist to make that cutting tool to clear the thorny bush area. I have built the extra hut, built the dam, fixed the mating hut and have L2 technology

Did I miss something? Any help would be great!

You could check the puzzle solutions in the Guide section to make sure you didn't miss anything.

I did read the puzzle solutions and like I mentionned I have done this in a previous tribe, but for some odd reason in this new tribe it won't work. Is there a glitch I'm not aware of?

Not that we're aware of. There is some 'overlap' between the cutting tools and the scarecrow puzzle, since they are in basically the same area, but nothing that prevents completion of either. I have seen it be a little tricky to retrieve the cauldron sometimes - try being more persistent there.

One thing I noticed for the stones that create the cutting tool, those little stones are not sparkly, in my first tribe they were but in this second one they are not.... Any chances that means something?

1) Check to make sure you have credit for the herb mastery puzzle.
2) Check to make sure you have Exploration 2 technology done.
3) Check to make sure the scientist trying to make cutting tools is a master scientist.

If you have done both of the above and still you do not see a cauldron in the wood pile I am stumped. Have you done any time traveling? I have read in another thread about a missing gong puzzle piece that time traveling can have unexpected results. Perhaps time traveling affects this puzzle as well.

Let us know what happens!

I have all those no problem.

I didn't time travel (had no clue what it was until I just read a post about so I could answer you) but we did have a time change (2 sundays ago, way before I started my second tribe yesterday) where I live and because this year it's 3 weeks earlier then last year, I had to set my pc manually. Could that be a problem? How do I solve that?

from what I've heard, as long as you aren't actually playing when you reset the clock, it shouldn't effect game play. I know there was a thread about time traveling and daylight savings, but they may have deleted that since daylight savings is over.

Nope, just checked, it's still there. Try reading that to see if you can find anything.

That's not totally true. You can't change the clock indiscriminitely, even when the game is not actually running. Some adjustments, particularly changing the clock backwards, will cause problems with the game, even it it's not running.

Yea, I was just thinking that setting the clock backwards a an hour or so would really confuse the game.
