What do you do, when the rubble is cleaned?

is there a trick to getting the 4 rocks on there and not having them go cold?

that's exactly what i had to do!

How exactly do you clear the rubble? My villagers are saying "removing these rocks seems technically difficult"

You need

Thanks a heap random guy!

No problem

TY Everyone for your help with this one . Very much appreciated

Just slow your game speed

but when the game speed is slow, the time taken to take the rock hot also slow, is it??

Use two peeps.
Even better, use a runner.

can someone help me with puzzle 7? Its telling me it needs to be covered. what does it need to be covered with?

Read through this thread, the answer is here.

I certainly am having alot of trouble getting them all on the pit & stay hot,it is really a challenge.is there any other tips to do this,I have driven myself crazy doing just what other people have mentioned.,but I will keep on trying until I finally get them all on .

I did that but my guy was confused and said that the rocks weren't hot yet? I had the water boiling and herbs added. I just need some food! My poor people are starving!! ;-)

When the puzzle is finished, is it permanent? Or will they eventually go cold?

I have level 2 in construction, and am doing the drop to carry a new rock when the other one is hot. Do I need saltwater? Freshwater? No water? They won't pick up the rock if the pot is empty. I'm so frustrated, lol.

Have you completed the boiling water puzzle?


Um the trees that hold fruit-- do they ever die out of fruit? If so I wonder how long you could depend on that food source...

I try as hard as I can to put another rock on the fire as soon as the hot rock is carried off to the pot, but it's hard to time that perfectly since my people aren't runners and I can't "pause" the guy with the replacement rock waiting for the split second that the rock gets hot. I tried putting more than one rock on the fire, but that doesn't seem to work either. No matter what I try to do, the guy I take over to the banana plant keeps telling me that he's confused ... says the rocks are not hot yet.

I am as diligent as I possibly can be to try to get some stew brewing ... but I'm at the point now where I think this is just too darned difficult to be possible under normal circumstances. Do I need a special level of something? Am I missing some important step? Please help me because I'm just about out of food and my tribe will slowly but surely starve to death. :-(

Puzzle #7 has nothing

Thanks! I'm not done the puzzle yet, but now I'm on the right track

Sorry. I read the All about Food thread and this thread was referenced as informational. Sorry.

I see you talking about a runner, but how do you get one?
Or should I be lucky enough that there is a runner born?

--

I've finished this one! Without a runner

I'm at level 2 at Dendrology but they still says; Removing these rocks seems technically challenging. And i've tried with Build Master,Scientist Master and Farm master.Pleeaasee help me!!

You need level 2 in Construction to move the rocks.

Oops! i read wrong before , no i've vested 3000 teach points

Thx for helping anyway!

You should be so lucky!

In other words: Yes. A runner is a villager who has "running" in their "Likes" space, and keeps on moving like a kid after they turn 16. Perfectly random.

I haven't run out of the yellow fruit yet, but as soon as you can,learn to make cloth, it's needed in one of the other projects for food

That's right. The trees never run out of fruit. However, not many food points are gained, espcially as it takes the farmers so long to shake down the fruit, cook it, then take it to the food bin. With a moderately-sized village you'd need several farmers to keep the village properly supplied relying solely on the yellow fruit. That of course might slow down the village's development elsewhere as they could be better deployed as builders or researchers.

I love how helpful everyone is, but there is one thing I am still a little unclear on.

If you shake down the fruit before the cooking pit is ready, it will just disappear and be useless. Once you have the pit ready to cook on, then have someone start shaking down the fruit.

Thank you, Jenny23, that helps a lot!

In fact, it's quite likely that, once the fire pit is ready, the farmers will start shaking down the fruit on their own, without any prompting from the Guiding Hand.

Thank you, too, arnie. It's completed now, but I don't remember if I had to drag someone over to the tree or not. I don't think I did, so you must be right about them doing it on their own as soon as the pit is ready.
