I had know idea that the fire being lit had anything to do with anything except for making the stews.How does that effect tech points?

I did all the puzzles and maxed out on population without level 3 science or exploration, I may just spend some tech points on those but after over 1500 of play I aint bothered, and I found the last collectable too , hmm should I buy it? erm no!!!I dont like spending when i can get new frock instead , actually saying that , what a waste of space the sewing hut is!! who cares what they look like I mean who cares, its just a building project for adept builders then its an ornament , I seriously dont buy and dont intend to. hmm and my 3 adept builder gained nowt anyway ! still same as they where before, that hut is a waste , should have been a school , or a museum or something interesting!

Pinkfish, I think you have to allow for other people liking the sewing hut and the ability to change clothes. No game is going to give any ONE person everything that individual in particular likes. So may I suggest you enjoy those aspects of the game that you enjoy, in the sure knowledge that other people are enjoying other aspects.

They gain an additional point at regular intervals during the game (you can check your log)

Just my opinion I bought the game , I think I should have the an opinion, to most males points I I read rarely utilise the hut and I am female but really dont see the point, just ones own point of view, but if you are stranded on an island with lots of men I wouldn't be bothered what I looked like, i might want to build a boat to explore though, to me the sewing hut may as well be "lets build a Macdonuts" or any store that rips you off, the hut I personally dont get , its just me I think I can say that I dont get it ?

the sewing hut has practical uses...it is nice to be able to quickly identify doctors

i use it to "uniform" my people, so i can identify them quickly...it has nothing to do with fashion for for making my villagers look attractive for the opposite sex

bajantara I hope you weren't thinking I was doubting that. Normally when I ask a question it's because I didn't know it.

Not at all, blue_koka. I was just explaining how it's done

like I said , its just my opinion , given the software and the genius to re create this I would only change a few things:
the hut to a? well something more useful for survival, maybe a boat yard that takes 6 months in real play to build , then you get your money worth and play ability and keep the builders on the go and their kids,

sorry i wasn't trying to diss this game I bought it!! but the sewing Hut is still rubbish lol hahah rofl!!! well come on its a cop out!!

as for tech points get collectables they always worth more than tech points
when I totally played my first 2 villages I had all collectables and more and elder, I reckon pause game if they need food , collect mushy's and collectables for points and food, I say keep population low and be patient..yes its boring and tedious but we get there, now I wish i wasn't on strike from playing ( waiting for patch) because next time I will not play it the way i did before, and I think that says it all we al play our way , some like organised uniforms others like organised peeps with their own personality I met them with!!

i'd love to see a boat yard or something like that in one of the future vv games, but i totally want to keep the ability to change their clothes

my current vote is that it would be more of a trading hut, where you could change clothes and buy a variety of items that open up as you hit certain milestones, whether they are useful in gameplay or are decorative (head transplants anyone?)

the beauty of a game like this is that there are so many ways to play the game and be successful
