i just started playing and im out of food everytime i put an adult by the coconut tree nothing happens how do i get them to start boiling the hot water in the pot
THE GREAT FEAST: Fill the pot with fresh water and put a hot rock under it to boil it. Get one of each plant (sweet, spicy and soapy) and add to the pot. Then drop a villager onto the pot to add food from the food bin. This needs to be done twice.
Then set a villager to collect berries, one to collect the yellow fruit and one to collect a fish. It should say that they are "adding to the stew". Also get a child to find a mushroom and they will add that to the stew too. When everything is added, you will get the grand feast.
If the stew goes cold while you're still collecting ingredients, simply heat another rock and warm the stew up again. You can continue your recipe.
When the grand feast stew is ready, everyone will come get a bowl of it and they will all gather around the fire for their meal.
Good Luck!
The crabs you just can add to the food bin and you need them for the clearing of the moss rocks.
CATCHING CRABS: As soon as you see a crab, hit the spacebar to pause the game. Then go and find two children and drop them on the crab. Then hit the spacebar again to un-pause the game. The children will distract the crabs. While they are distracting the crab, drop an adult on the crab and they will pick it up and carry it to the mossy rocks at the base of the pond. Do this five times to clear each of the rocks.
I am sorry Chrisserbrea, I couldn't find on my game version a Crab Feast. That is the reason I wrote about the crabs and the Grand Feast.
Let me know if this is what you where seeking, thanks!
MUSHROOMS: Take a child and place it on a mushroom. More mushrooms will pop up when it rains. This is useful especially at the start of the game when the food source is poor. So set those kids to work!
BOILING WATER: Drag a villager onto the bowls by the stream (for fresh water) or at the base of the rocks by the sea (for salt water - you need that for cooking soap). The villager will fill the bowl with water and take it to the pot in the research lab. Then drag a villager onto the pile of stones by the steps to the research lab. They will take the stone to the fire. Wait until it's hot and then drop a villager onto it. They will take the stone to the pot and you have boiling water!
YELLOW FRUITS: [b]
First you have to have the cooking pit. Requires level 2 construction.[/b] Drag some villagers onto the covered stone pit in the southwest. They will start to clear it. Once it's cleared it needs to be filled up with four hot rocks. So go and heat your rocks, make sure you have enough, other wise the pit cools down and you have to restart. Once it is done it will let you know, that you have to cover it. Take a villager near the berry bush, there it has a palm tree. He or she will cover the pit with it (has to be done several times). Now you can cook the yellow fruits on the palms in the far southwest corner. Simply drag a villager onto the palm and they will shake down a fruit cook it on the fire and then take it to the food bin. If the villager shakes it's head, just drag him or she again and maybe again to the yellow fruit tree, they have to learn the task!
It's a good game and when you get the hang of it, you will love it more and more, it's great fun. GH has also Virtual Villagers 5, which has a lot of new features, if you like to do more of nursing cute little humans....
