Okay, I am soooo confused, I'm guessing it does have something to do with the box type thing that says bars of soap left 0 when you click it. And maybe the soapy smelling plant. But I can't figure out anything else, such as how to make the soap.
any help????

You are correct on needing that plant. You need to make a stew with that plant.

Are there certain kinds of
Click to reveal..
stews that need more food than others?

I made a stew with fresh water, two yellow herbs and an orange herb, plus food from the bin. They said the stew was yummy.

Then I made the soapy stew with salt water and three white herbs to get the soap.

Then I tried to make a stew with fresh water, an orange, yellow and white herb plus food. It keeps telling me the stew is cooking, but it's just "cold and uncooked" when the heat from the rocks wears off.


Help!

Re: Questions about Puzzle #4 (contains spoilers) - 02/26/10 08:30 PM

I also have done the two white and one red herb. My villagers all started to burp bubble and the eat the stew. I only have 9 people so I kept dragging them to eat and after awhile I it told me i reached the goal of having 25 people burping bubbles. I still don't know how to make the soap. Can anyone help ?

Do you have to have 25 people for population to make soap or can you do it with less ?

How do you get the salt water to make the whatever in the pot? I've dragged my people all around the ocean and beach dropping them and no one says 'getting salt water for stew', so where do you get it from?

If you drag a villager

all around the beach area, you will see the message say "[Name] sees salt water pots." Drop her/him there.

It has something to do with the food tech and the pot/cauldron.

I got it. After I made 25 people burp bubbles. Then make a stew with 3 white plants. After you cook it the smoke will turn black. Drag someone to it and it will say "stacking soap".

My peeps have never had to endure burping bubbles in order for them to make soap.

So, when you make eatable stew you use fresh water, right?

Re: Questions about Puzzle #4 (contains spoilers) - 04/14/10 06:05 PM

Yes, use fresh water for anything edible, and salt water for anything else.

Send a villager to the pot and pay attention to what they "say". It will guide you as to what to do next. smile

You need to clear the rocks from the pit near the fruit trees. Then have villager bring hot rocks. Cover them with large leaves from near the science lab. Then you bring a villager to one of the trees and they will shake some fruit down and put it into the pit.

It says unfinished stew is cooking.

Unfortunately, that is one of the many, many links broken in the Great Forum Crash of 2011. Unfortunately, there were far too many broken links to fix them all.

The topic I linked to describes how to reach any of the posts affected by that crash, and the one you want can be found at this link: http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=217089
