   @Joe it worked for me, maybe there’s something else like weather to include?

   @Sheridon What do you need seawater for in MyTribe on FB?

   Yeah, it worked for me too… I’ll try it again when I get to my new island, and check.

   Are you talking about MyTribe for Facebook? I don’t know what seawater is used for or how to get it. All my recipes depend on crops, stardust and moondust. Seawater is used a lot in the original MyTribe, though.

   Hi Jennifer, A tribal elder has at least 2 points in each of the six skills.

   @ Joe, Your scientist has to have level 20, and not only BE 65+, but also has to FEEL 65+. If they feel, lets say, 45, it wont work. Just let the age and refrain from using moonstones on them, as they will make them feel younger.

    @Angel Yes, you need one tribesperson with both skills for every mystery that requires someone skilled in each. Sorry if that wasn’t clear!

    @Rose Either you don’t really have your resources or you have a bug, and you should log out and log back in to reset it.

    Does anyone know if you get to take the upgraded buildings with you or do you have to start from scratch on the new island?

    Thanks! Good to know about the Ever Tree. I’m not sure it’s that great of an achievement, then, since you can get awards for planting a lot of saplings. Might be better to take an island with the fountain of youth or the maui face instead.

    The one with the moon-shaped cutout is the moon rock.

    when you go to another island, you bring all your supplies, but you can’t go back, so harvest everything before you leave and make sure you’re fully stocked, because once you get there you have to build everything from scratch

    You can get non-tattered clothes by finding recipes and making them or by having nice things wash up in crates.

    I’m thinking of doing another post on exactly what comes with you and what you get when leaving the island. Anyone have any advice?

    I think the pearl shop is pretty expensive but yeah, a science station is renewable, so it’s a MUCH better investment than sci points

    “There’s also a sickly, leafless bush with a pink heart in the branches. I don’t know what to call it, but your tribe member with level 15 in both science and agriculture can probably tell you a good Latin name for it. I’ll call it Deciduous Roseus Cordius. Have your skilled tribesperson examine the tree when it’s raining to solve the mystery and unlock new berry seeds. (I got Beanberry, Bossberry, Bumbleberry, Chuckberry, Niftberry, Polerberry, Riddleberry, Sketchberry, Smokeberry and Thistleberry from my new Cornucopia Bush. What did you get?)”

    yes, I believe you left something out, it was the (i forget its name) the blue rock with the moon in it- the way to solve it is to do the same thing as the sun stone except with moondust

    @Dylan “Solving the star rock is exactly the same as in the old version. Have a tribesperson who’s had an experience with stardust examine the rock, and they’ll have the brilliant idea to use stardust on the star rock. (And no, you can’t skip straight to the stardust-in-the-rock stage.) It’ll take either 3 or 4 stardusts, depending on how fast you move, and after you’ve unlocked it, it will attract more stardust to land on the island. The moon rock is exactly the same thing, but with moondust.”

    It takes 8 hours for someone to grow one year. So log on about 2 times a day so you can keep track of everyone. I have a 100 year old, use 3 stardust or 2 to get to a high age. I’m planning to make a 200 year old, he will be known throughout the history of my game. Ill never let him die!!!

    Meg,
    Just travelled to new island. You take all your wood and rock and can keep using them evemn though youy can’t store them,. You take all your food but it diminishes to 500 very quickly and then can’t increase until you have your food store built and upgraded. Any solved mysteries you keep and if those are on the new island it seems they are already solved. You can choise which island you go to too. You keep all your points, stars, moons , gems, dyes etc. Hope that helps

    @Jennifer Good point! I unlocked the fossil rock on my second island but I think it would have been more valuable early on, when I didn’t have so many people with high science working on research.

    @ferretgirl You’ll need level two in each skill to make a tribal elder. You can do this with gems on clothes or by leveling up.

    I’m beginning to run into a major pickle, the majority of my tribe is entering into their 50’s on top of which I don’t have a good enough income of storks to get the people who can have kids to have them. Essentially I’m waiting on solving the mystery of the fountain, but unfortunately my head science lady is 67 and feels 37. Does that mean I have to wait however long it is (I still haven’t worked that bit out) for her to feel 65? What’s the average lifespan since I’m a bit screwed if all my tribe die.
55. 

    55Meg

    wrote on 20 May 2010 at 10:09

    @Kinross when they go grey, they are old enough to use the fountain. Your science lady feels too youthful — she’ll need to age to 65 again. But at least you can save your moondust for other tribespeople!

    That’s the other problem, I can’t manage to be online when the Moondust finally decides to arrive. I suppose I could buy some pearls and moondust but I’d rather not. So does anyone know what happens if my entire tribe is dead?

    I solved the fountain of youth quite awhile back. I have been working on science for a long time, so I have several people in their 100’s. Once I move to another island, will I have a massive die off? I do not have the tiki head mystery on my island, so I have a few people that I have not used the fountain on, so that I will be able to solve this mystery if the old fogies keep on living.

    Just so you know, the Fossil Rock can be solved by two separate people, just as in the full version. Crack it open with the Legendary Rock-gatherer, then trot the Legendary Scientist over to have a look at it. No need to waste time and stardust/gems making one person a legend in both skills.

    @Crystal Not sure. I think if all your tribespeople die off, you’ll be restarted, but that may be even more time consuming than collection stork feathers.

    @Val Yeah, I agree with Ed. You need to set the ark down on the beach where there’s enough space — a red footprint means there’s not enough room for it.

    I came back to read through some of the older questions and I came up with a proposed solution for how to start the game over. IF it is true that the game will start over when all tribe members are dead, then the easiest way to kill them off would be to make them go to sleep in a hut, then destroy the hut with them in it. I believe that would also be a possible solution for the person above who asked how they could make only Redhead tribe members. If anyone tests this theory and finds it to be true, could you please report back to us here so we know whether it works or not.

    I don’t think you can off people by destroying their huts (You are all TWISTED and SICK to try it!) but I imagine they would die off without houses or food. I don’t want to hurt any of my little islanders, but if you evil dictators give it a try, let us know how it turns out!

    I also don’t know what you’re talking about with changing the clothes, unless there was some kind of long-life gem attached? All my people have had a drink from the Fountain of Youth so they’ll not ever die of old age.

    @Kylie Twins seem to be totally random now but if you find a way to make it happen more often, let me know!

    The tiki head worked for me as soon as it was filled with flowers.

    @Krisstofer You’ll have all your same tribespeople with you on your second island.

    then it was probably because her physical strength was decreased when you changed her clothes. strength makes them live longer. thats why its better to make everyone tribal elders and keep everything equal than specializing in one thing because you can up their strength when they are tribal elders and it makes them live longer and level up faster than someone who is specialized.

    Love the game, but am wondering if there are faster ways to get the moon/stardust? I need 58 stardust and 17 moondust to be able to build my ark…I don’t have the option to build an observation tower, and I only have 2 pearls…

    Hi. I just wanted to point out that I solved the Fossil rock mystery thing with one person with 15 science skill, and another person with 15 construction skill. It wasn’t just one member with both 15 science and 15 construction. Just so everyone knows!

    @Jessica Yes, when you move to a new island, you won’t take your mysteries and there’s no way of returning, so it’s best to complete the mystery before moving on.

    Yay! Just got my Ark started…still working on getting my last mystery solved for this island – the red stone. I have my little worker bee getting her science skills up, and then we are outta here. I know my current people won’t age, but will they be able to take the Fountain of Youth with them when we go??

    @Desiree The only I’ve found of increasing stardust / moondust stores is to be stuck on a boring phone call with MyTribe open There are no more observation towers and it is quite expensive to buy them with pearls.

    @Jessika Anon is right, you won’t take any half-completed mysteries with you. You will still have the benefits of previous mysteries though.

    @All I’ve done a second post on what happens when you leave your island

    Also you can add me on FB so we can help each other’s islands.

    Hello everyone,

    I think that if you want your tribe people that drank from the fountain to grow old again, just make them drink from the fountain a second time. I have not tried it yet, it is just a theory.

     I just love this game. And i love the fact that it is on facebook.

     I’m stuck on the tree stump. I had someone who has a physical strength of 72 to lift the stump. Now its just a little sapling. I have tried having a farmer to take care of it but it fails. It says something like the ground around the sapling is parched, then says something like the ground is dry.

     What should i do now?

     does anyone else keep track of the genealogies of their tribespeople? I do, and have noticed that:
     a. twins seems to be hereditary. i’ve had two sets of twins, and the second pair were born to a member of the first pair.
     b. if you’re trying to make smarter and stronger babies, it works better if the tribespeople are not related. My younger tribespeople are pretty inbred at this point and even if they both have high mental and physical points (like in the 50s) when they reproduce the children only come out with 30s
     c. blonde and red hair are not recessive like in real life

     I know this doesn’t really have anything to do with the article, but I read someone comment asking if anyone ever gets the decorations or power ups. I realized the poster was right, I’d always seen them but never gotten them.

     Well unluckily, I then proceeded to get two decorations in a row, one recipe for ‘red picnic blanket’ and one ’starfish’. They’re useless. They just take up ground space but don’t do anything. You can hide them though. I’m sure a power up would have been interesting though.

     Regarding the crates, I’ve gotten seeds, recipes, raw resources, gems, and decorations.. I agree with previous statements, decorations are pointless.. I got a volleyball and it just sits there.. At first I though my tribe members could play with it, but they can’t.. Regarding the raw resources, I’ve gotten wood and several pieces of silk (all were dyed, no raw), and some-type of berry..

     That happened to me too and I got a bit scared that I would never be able to make more babies but yes, moondust helps. The game actually told me to try moondust. I think the person has to be in their forties as a max.

     I was also wondering about the stones. I noticed that my woods were being depleted but I could always just plant more saplings. IS there a way to bring more rocks onto the island?

Micheal is scared of damaging it if it’s tended to while the ground is so dry…”
     And no matter what I do, it won’t grow. What do I do? I’ve been looking everywhere but I still havnt found it anywhere, no one tells me how!

     I do not know if this will be of any help to any one……
     If you are LOW (under 6)on Moondust and all your people are getting a bit up in age…. if you let them ALL age over 45 or 50 (whatever age that they can not have kids) when you load the game it will tell you that your tribes people are too old to have children, try to use moondust on them….. if you use all of it (on only one sex…. either all men or all women) and then go visit a neighbor or reload the page it will give you the same message and 2 FREE moondust……
     I hope that I am making sense I know that it may not be a problem for some of you but I have a serious problem with the age thing…. it will get away from me and one of them will die, so I found a REALLY easy way to make all of one sex 19, and one of the other sex under the breeding age..

     Now I REALLY wish I’d read this article BEFORE starting My Tribe. Some of the choices I made were pretty dumb… and I wish I could reset, but there’s no way. See this is my problem, I didn’t have a Tiki Head on my first island, which would have been useful as I now have to use 60+ feathers for a new child and I’m on my second island which also has no Tiki Head. I also didn’t want the stupid stump… but my second Island has one of those. Third, I got the Fountain of Youth unlocked on my first Island and made everyone drink from it. Now on my second island, there’s no fountain so I can’t reverse the effect. I’m stuck in a place I don’t want to be in… I don’t know where my head was when I was making some choices. There DEFINITELY needs to be a reset button.

     Anyone have any suggestions for me?

     @Cap’n It’s a game population cap — more huts and/or a different island won’t help, unfortunately.

     @Jenna The dry ground is a clue. Someone needs to tend it while it’s raining.

     For the newest mystery (Floatsam’s Beacon?) you need to get a recipe for a torch from a mystery crate/barrel then craft 4 torches and place them in the 4 holes surrounding the mystery object. They’ll burst into flames and increases the number of crates/barrels that come to your island including decreasing the time it takes for silver crates/barrels to appear.

     Hey all,

     am wondering about getting tribe numbers up once everyone is past a certain age…do you just use moondust? Sorry if this question has been asked and answered already.

     Feel free to add me, I am in real need of more stork feathers like everyone!

     Only I don’t know what my facebook profile address is! But it’s Samantha Marks and it’s the profile pic with the little cartoon girl wearing sunglasses (Lola, for those of you in the UK, will know)

     I have a couple problems:
     1. I have a scientist that’s level 24 in science, and she’s 84, but I foolishly used moondust so that she feels 50, will the fountain thing still work? Because so far, it’s not.
     2. I have the Iron Rock, and she has 4 agriculture, would I have to get her 11 more Agri. before she can discover the rock? Because that would mean 11 more levels and she levels up in like 2 days, and I ran out of Stardust. I also used up gems on all her clothing. =(

     @ Chelsea There are no babies in solving the fountain.

     “For the fountain, you’ll need a tribe member who is over 65 years old, with level 20 in science.”
