VIRTUAL VILLAGE SECRET CITY 


The key to this Virtual Village is control over the food supply. Both the orchard and the honey. Never let the villagers' just pluck the trees bare and try to keep them from taking all the honey.  In the beginning of the game you may have to let them take most of the food supplies. You only start out with one tree and it take 2 to 3 hours for the tree to replenish itself. The tree gives at least 1000 fruit the first time and only gives 100 to 150 fruit at each filling. Allow the villagers 500 pieces of fruit to get started. With only 8 to 10 villagers, that should last until the tree has a chance to recharge. As you know the villagers can go through a couple of hundred points quickly. The children supplement the food with mushrooms and can keep the, say 400, supply at the same level for long periods of time.  When the food level gets below 250, the villagers start to panic. They start to crowd around the food bin and you can get little work out of them. You must control the movements of the villagers, because every change they get they will want to harvest the fruit or honey. If you don't control the food, your villagers will die of starvation. 
Villagers 16 to18 eat appx. 250 to 300 points per hour
I almost gave up on the game my first three tries, because the little people kept dying of starvation and it was really upsetting to me. 

Upon arriving set one person to gather wood for the fire, one to get dry grass located in the far-left corner by the waterfall.  Drop a villager on the wood and dry grass to get the fire going. Once the fire is going get another villager to go back to the beehive. Beneath the beehive are a couple of touches. Set the villager on the touch and the villager will go set it on fire, he will then return to the hive and smoke out the bees. The villagers can then get the honey from the hive.  

Planting a Tree  There will be a piece of fruit laying on the ground by the broken lift. Set a villager on the fruit and they will take it and plant it.  If you click on the spot where the fruit was bury it will tell you how long it will be before the tree will bear fruit 3h 59m usually. I only name one person as farmer and only as they are needed. When they are not being a farmer, I set them to other task {don't forget to change the job title in details. The farmer may still want to go back to farming and you will have to make sure they stay where you assign them. The reason for changing the job is that the farmer will want to continue harvesting the fruit.


Primitive Lift  to fix it you will need one master builder and two adept
                          Builders. To become a master builder takes some time.

                          and removing the vegetation from around the "Roster of the
                          Dead" leaves appx. In the middle of the right hand side of 
                          the game, they will be master builders. You also have to

New Herbs  Notice where the children go to the bathroom, on the lt. Side of the lab. New herbs will appear there

It's a process - first all the lab items must be collected by an adept scientist. Then the herbs collected and placed on the table, next drop any villager on the table. They will remove the herbs and place them in the pot. Be careful, in the beginning many of the potions blow-up and can cause death to the near by villagers.  I always check the health of the villager I am going to use first. And then I move the other villagers out of the way before the third herb is placed in the pot. If  you don't like a potion, you can remove it by dropping a villager on the table, they will go and remove the potion so you can try something new. 

The only thing I can not help you with is the thunderstorm. I have tried everything, but as of yet have not figured it out.  Have fun! Once I got the hang of this, I have enjoyed it at least 20 times and keep playing it trying to get the thunderstorm.
