Keep putting your villager on gathering water buckets. I started with an 18 year old and maxed them by 20.

I don't know what I did, but I think somehow cheating with the systemclock mested up the algorithym. I stopted time, my villagers don't age anymore, they do gain tech and skill, downside, women stay pregnant, anyone encountered this before?

Just a few helpfull tricks an tips I picked up in the short while I'm playing:

One of the hardest things to do is to get all your skills up to master.

Especially the building skill, since there are only limited building projects.

I found an efficient way to boost your skills in rapid succession.

Important is to manage your population, for this to work you can't be at max capacity, better is to keep a couple spots open, cause accidents do happen.

You might have read online about people boosting there parentskills by keep having sex with women over 50 who can't get pregnant?

The same works for farming and building.

For thoose 3 actions, instead of actually performing the full action, wait untill you get the exp and then abort and start over.

For example when boosting your parentskill drag one villager on a villager of the oposite sex, listen for the kissing sound, don't let them go in the love shack, just pick one up and put hem/her back on the other and repeat...

For farming pick any food, wait for exp and abort, don't let them walk to the bin or prepare it and start over

For building it works best when clearing something, cause when building or fixing you have to do the legwork befor you get exp. But when clearing something, wait for him to pick it up, don't let him cary it away and start over.

It works best with parrenting, cause you can keep pick them up and hump eachother as rabits. You go from untrained to master in less then 10min.

For farming and building it takes a while longer, since you'll still have to do an action, just not the whole one, so it does save you a lot of time.

It's boring and anoying to let them repeat the same action over and over again and it does take a long time, but when you an overachiever like me, who wants all his vilagers maxed out, it's wourth the affort.

The good thing about this, is if you abort the action, it dosn't count as progress, so you can pick the same 5 berries over and over again, or keep clearing that dam. This is also an easy way to just go from untrained to trainee, to make sure your villager keeps focusing on this task

Medicine and research you can't really cheat, since they don't have to move and have to do the full action before they get exp, but they're easy enough to gain.

My villagers are scholars(tree of life) by the age of 24 and I could get that age even down further if I would train them more intensivly.

Especially now that the new generation is born adept in everything

A final note: Speeding up time: I've seen several people give the advice to speed up to time evolve faster or gain more technology points.

The only thing speeding up time speeds up is the clock.

Your villagers don't move faster in fast then they do in slow, so they actually take 4 times longer to do the same task. You won't gain more technologypoints by speeding up the clock neighter. I tested it, I ran my villagers for an hour in slow and an hour in fast and get the same result in technologypoints (I get actually a little bit less in fast, but that can be caused by distracted villagers). So... Unless you're waiting for a pregnancy to be over or you want your childern to grow up faster, speeding up time isn't verry helpfull.

What does work is changing your system clock.

Before I start a game I change my systemdate to more then a week ago.

So when I'm waiting for technologiepoints, I let my villagers research, close the game and change the clock to an hour later. Check back in to make sure nothing bad happend, close and repeat.

When doing so, make sure to pause the game when you don't expect to return right away. I once didn't pause and forgot to put back my systemclock before starting the game, that wasn't fun...

And you can't reset, since there is only a current version, so if you make this fuck up, it's permanent, be carefull!

Is there any place I can see the effects of my choices in island events?

Need help with the reservoir in VV Origins 2. I have already done the whole game on the version from Big Fish. But this one has the Store, and lots of things you can buy. But I can't find any directions, nor can I remember what I did to get the reservoir itself built. I have one trench done, but can't do any thing else until the reservoir is in place. I am stuck!!!!

I need to make the fine powder in order to make boom sticks. I have charcoal but can't get salt peter. where do I find salt peter? or how can I make salt peter?

I have done everything to make the scarecrow. But I can't cut the grass the second time. The first time it ask to make a scythe and now it ask to use a blade. In the tips it say that I can use the scythe to cut the yellow grass 3 times. What am I doing wrong?

So is this a glitch?

I dont have a picture, but in virtual mars my 65 year old (male) and 50 year old (female) went to the loveshack. They didn't get a baby or anything but still...

Is this supposed to happen?

It isnt even on fire

Where do I find fertilizer?

So I had a rather fun game play/glitch situation in the PC version of VV: Origins 2. One of my female villagers had a lavastone necklace of double walking speed. When they went to move the statues and the giant log for the observatory, the female rushed ahead, before the person got to the observatory. By the time the second person reached the observatory to drop off the items, the female was LONG gone and off doing other things. I took some screenshots.

The first is ones show where one of my male villagers was the second person I placed on the log, so he ended up carrying it alone. This made him look like he was SUPER strong. The second situation, I put the female on second, so she rushed way ahead, holding the statue over her head on her own, making her look like she was SUPER strong.

The last screenshot is from when the other female that was helping carry the statue finally showed up about 30 seconds later!

I figured I'd share the screenshots, just in case anyone wanted a small laugh...

Why does everyone refer to an unknown person as he? Can someone please explain to me what that is about?

I just play vvo2 for first time, at first i found whale and drag my scientist and make some pickaxe, however after i decide to repair the creating hut and drag the scientist to do plan, he dont do anything. I hope someone know how to solve this

My Master Builders opened the box containing the gong piece, retrieved it, and one of them was on his way to the gong...but never got there. Now the gong piece is "missing". I have 3 pieces of the gong and no way to find the 4th, boxed piece!

Since last week I got an error saying can 't connect to gameserver, After a day i did a reinstall and now my game keeps stranding in the screen with loading audio??? Can anyone help me?

When you get to the 3 dots on VV3 origins, what is next?

3 Dots is the end?

I'm still fairly new to VVO2, but I have learned that the young villagers can collect from the four sets of vines and the apple tree, so they can be trained at gathering before they even reach teenager/adulthood!
