OMG....

I love the VV aspect of it, but I dont like the mix and match...
Also the crafting takes too long..

Im having a problem now with the pond..
It was raining and the pond filled up.
When I put an islander there, it said : Not ready yet..
Now the rain stopped and the pond was instantly dry !
How and why ??

Im glad this is free, otherwise I would never play it this long...

PS: HOW is anyone ever going to figure out what you need for the wheel ... OMG !

Of course the crafting takes too damn long, you can BUY lavastones and use them to make it go faster.

It's an annoying trait all the "free to play" games have.

the thing with the pond is you have to have the nest filled with the mini-eggs.
1. you get the nest from the kraken statue... needs two builders to hold up the tentacles after you've finished it, and while they hold them up jam a kid under there to get the nest out.
2. i don't exactly remember how i got the mini-eggs. i Think it maybe what one walkthrough referred to as "worms" which is the recipe where you mix fertilizer with bacteria... which a whole 'Nother recipe. [sighs tiredly]
3. have somebody put the mini-eggs into the nest at the pond. when it rains, snakes hatch from the eggs and make the pond poison.
That's when you drop a villager on it to gather the poison from it. Make Very Sure you have a good Healer available because it's very likely the villager you drop in the pond Will be bitten by one of the "worm"/"snakes".

hope that helps.

as to the bloody wheel... that's a Whole 'Nother "crafting" nightmare. [growls under breath]
that takes crafting as well as working at the anvil from what i've read. i suggest looking for a walkthrough/guide in a search engine that has resource & recipe lists. that's what i did and thank thunder i did because i Never would have figured half the stuff out with out wasting all my hard won resources.
as to the pay-to-play aspect... well i think this edition of VV was actually meant for mobile but then didn't go to it or something.
speaking of the paying out, it's actually worth it to spend the money for the lemur. i did and the lil bugger spared me the hassle of making ropes And has found several things of magic i normally wouldn't have found. (i have the misfortune of having idiots for villagers for some reason.)

anyway, i'm off to smack-i Mean-work with another villager who apparently forgot how to do the job i set them to. [le sigh]
also, if there Are "worms" and the snakes are just something Else, somebody let me know.
