Isn't puzzle 8 cloth...if it is then this is how

Click to reveal..
On the wall over near the steps is a pulpy vine, once you have your clothes hut built, drop someone over there to collect 3 lots of it, fill pot with salt water, cook and they take it down to a rock close to the shore and then drop people on it till it reaches 100%. You get 3 lots of cloth to one batch of cloth pulp, they then take it over to the clothes hut.

You have to have the salt water boiling before you can cut the vines.

Yes, the water must be boiling then make your villager "cook" the ingredients.

[Spoilers?] Making cloth... - 02/27/10 10:19 AM

Ok so I built my clothing hut...but how do I make cloth?
Posted by: PSHS28

Re: [Spoilers?] Making cloth... - 02/27/10 10:31 AM

All you have to do is:

Click to reveal..
First, put a villager to extract pulp from the vines north of the granary. You would need cutting tools for this. Then, get salt water and cook the concoction. The villager will spread the extract to a flat rock southeast of the granary. Put villagers to the yellowish colloid until the cloth is made to 100%.


Glad this helps! This is exactly Puzzle # 8.

Re: [Spoilers?] Making cloth... - 02/27/10 10:32 AM

I'm not going to tell you outright, but here's a hint:

Click to reveal..

A lot of cloth is made from plant fibers (cotton from cotton, linen from flax, burlap from hemp, etc). Try dropping a villager on various non-food plant materials - as long as you've got cutting tools the villagers should go grab one and start harvesting.

Follow where the villager takes the harvested plant life and you should figure out step two (tip: salt water).

Since that step is the equivalent of separating the fibers out in the real world, the next step would logically be to compress the fibers back together as cloth. The villagers don't seem to have a loom, but there's another plant product that could serve as inspiration. In fact, you might be writing these hints down on it right now!


I hope this helps.

Right, cnm! But the flower just near the vine may bloom!

If you don't know if you have a clothing hut or not, you most probably haven't. Without a clothing hut built the villagers can't chop the vines.

Re: Questions about Puzzle #8 (contains spoilers) - 03/15/10 05:55 PM

The clothing hut is easy to identify if you have built it, as it has material, etc, hanging around on it.

You need level 2 science to get the clothing hut to appear, it should show up somewhere between the fruit trees and the bridge to the Lab. It will have colorful cloth on part of it.

Hi,

I am trying to make cloth to finish soemthing but everytime I get a villager to lift the pul[, it diasappears out of their hands. I have made lots before this and never had this problem.

any ideas what is happening?

~~

Worked it out! I had an elderly villager set to parenting - I think she was getting mad at everyone before they could get the pulp on the ground.

I changed her into a famer and problem solved!

Thanks,

The Official LDW Guide for this Puzzle says that you need Level

of a certain Tech, when you actually need
Click to reveal..
Level 2
(as correctly noted in multiple spoilers here). Since LDW "reserves the right to make changes . . . to the game guide itself, at anytime and without notice," I hope they'll exercise that right and make the correction.

And while they're at it, put a space in "any time"!

Also, there are clothes hanging from a bar on the clothing hut even BEFORE you build it, so yes it's easy to identify.

@Xay: Thank you for the acknowledgment!

However, I know how easy it is to change a few characters in a PDF file if you've got the full Acrobat program--that is, very easy! So I'm wondering why* somebody doesn't just go in and change:
Click to reveal..
3 -> 2, 3 -> 2 (in another place), & piles of fish -> fishing piers
and republish for download?

It's not like y'all had to order in rolls of slick paper, or have any expertise whatever with graphics (which is what often defeated ME in Acrobat) . . . but of course there may be logistics, contractual issues, or something else that I know nothing about!

For that matter, I may not have discovered everything that y'all would want to change.
------------
* And I mean "wondering why", not "condemning you because"!
------------

Completely unrelated, but more relevant to this thread:

I am extremely pleased to discover that (unlike VV3) we can now change children's outfits at the clothing hut! Same cost as adults, but they grow into them. grin

P.S. How weird is it that the posting software knows how to spell "children" but not "children's"?

Re: Questions about Puzzle #8 (contains spoilers) - 04/22/10 11:06 PM

There are issues involved here that have nothing to do with our knowledge of how to use Acrobat (or any other software product). The source for the guide is not an Adobe Acrobat file, for one thing, and there are other considerations that I am not at liberty to discuss here. Rolls of slick paper aside (imagine trying to help people figure out how to download those), let's just say that it's more complex than meets the eye.
Posted by: George T SLC

Re: Questions about Puzzle #8 (contains spoilers) - 04/23/10 03:45 PM

I was noticing, correctly, that the OUTPUT is a PDF (not necessarily editable, there could be password and/or contractual issues, for instance). But hidden complexity is what I was guessing, as I'm sure you noticed, good Lady, and you have confirmed that.

AH, well. And thank you for your prompt response!

Found an easy way to make double the amount in half the time!

Click to reveal..
When you bring the cloth to the rock to make it, put two people on it. It will be made twice as fast and when they are done, they will both pick up a set of cloth bolts and take it to the cloth hut. When it gets dropped off at the hut, you will have 6 bolts instead of the usual 3!
