When the golden child opens the cave, what is the caves purpose. Is it for anything?

Did you put an adult villager in the cave?

Oh, thanks.

I was kind of disappointed with the cave myself Sort of anti-climatic. I'm waiting for Athur to take my "Monster in the cave" suggestion into review for future updates.

I was sort of disapointed with the cave also, I think it should lead to a previously unknown part of the island.

that would bee cool. it may be a second village to take care of with its own secrets. the villages could visit and help each other!

Yeah, like a whole different Island to discover would be very cool.

I had the golden child come around pretty fast, almost a day after the idol was constructed, I only had 40 people, and all my tech levels.

Well, my golden child disapeard!!! i open the cave and after that he disapeard and the cave is now closed!!! in the stats i have the golden child but not the cave. i have 314.534 of food, all tech levels, a mas population of 75 and the oldest village4 is 104, and 551 hours played. any suggestions of what to do? the golden child appears twice? What is 12?

It's unfortunate that you encountered the bug that makes villagers vanish. That's one bug that will certainly be fixed when the update to Village Sim is released. It usually happens when you drag a villager around after you've been playing long enough that villagers have died. There is no way to get your Golden Child back, but if you'll read the topic at the top of the forum, "Help on the last three puzzles," you'll see how to get help on that last puzzle.
