Thanks Pam, It shows berries in my lab but the quanity is zero. I have sailed to another island with no bush now so will have to wait til I set sail again, lol. Thanks again.

To Lilrik1:

I don't know of a way to blow up rocks. You need to mark them for harvest and they will eventually be used up and disappear.

To Sharon:

It won't show a quantity for the berries in the lab. They go from being grayed out when you don't have any, to being bright red when they are available. They are an infinite source and don't have a quantity written in their box like the others do. Ironwood is the same way.

just a lil FYI, the island i am on is great for building and expanding...it has tons of trees and rocks and land. it has the fountain, the glowing stump and the red rock...i have been on here a few days and it really is a keeper :o)

island no.: 4091095977

just starting out how long does it take to gain science points? Is there a quicker way to gain? I'm feeling stuck.

HELP PLEASE!! My nit wit son deleted My Tribe!! Is there anyway to find it on the computer?

i have been playing for a while but how do you get a ton a science points i rarly have any im on level 2s and 1s help me

You can have moons &/or stars coming down all the time...

To Judy and Mimi:

You can get some extra science points by putting Stardust or Moondust on the science building. Also, I believe they gain science points faster after you buy science technology.

To Robin:

If he deleted the entire game from your computer, you'll just need to download it again at the website where you originally purchased the game.

I just wanted to say that i found a NEW WAY TO SOLVE THE RED ROCK MYSTERY

hope this helps!

ohh i also wanted to add that the tribe member that had her science stat maxed out was labeled as Legendary scientist. but when her rock gathering stat maxed out too, she is now the Tribal legend.

i'm so sad. Everytime I try and enter mytribe it tells me "The Application My Tribe Unexpectedly Quit" and it's been doing that for days. I know all my villagers are dead and I'm so bummed.

I have a Mac if that makes a difference.

I need major help!

How in the world am I supposed to get 200,000 and 400,000 science points? It's taking me way too long! I already have maxed out at everything else but is there a faster way?

Why is it, only one person at a time will work on the ark? I tried to get as many as i could to work on it, and every time i put a new one on, the first one quits. Everyone I try to put on there, is marked for construction.

To Em:

If it still does the same thing after rebooting the game and your computer, I would suggest going back to the site where you originally purchased the game and download it again.

To Divagirl118:

There's not a quick or easy way to get science points. Putting Stadust or Moondust on the science lab will help. Other than that, just put as many people on the lab as you can and leave the game for awhile.

To grammajoe:

I noticed the same thing. However, even though you can't seem to drop more than one person on the ark at a time, if you have others set to construction as their preference, they will go to the ark on their own. It also helps to close the game for awhile on the larger buildings. Construction time speeds up when the game is closed.

thanks, i will try that.

I was just wondering whether or not you can return to the Island you strated with initially.

When preparing to move to a different island, you do not have to build the ark. All you have to do is place the ark on the map and demolish it. This allows you to immediately start building the boat without having the ark and saving a lot of time!

[Edit: The ark is the boat. What you refer to is the shipyard. -Pam]

My daughter started another tribe over mine. I just lost all my accomplishment Is there a way to recall them back? Like finding the island I was on? The nerve...seriously hooked..and so mad. I was almost to level 2.

To Judy:

If she clicked the "Start New Tribe" button without changing to a new profile, you're out of luck. The way to have more than one tribe is to use the "Change User" button in the upper left of the menu screen and set up a second, third, or fourth user profile.

I have been playing the game for awhile and am actually on my 6th island and still have yet to open a barrel or crate with lode stone it it. is there any other way to get it?

i moved to my 2nd island, and now my ark is gone. do i have to rebuild the ark to move again?

after i built the star and moon towers on my first island, when i sail to a new island will i still get the moon and star shower on the second island if i rebuild the towers?

To Amy:

Unfortunately, crates and barrels are the only way to get lodestone. I sometimes go days without getting any. In fact, I think I've only gotten it about three times in the past month.

To grammajoe:

You have to rebuild the shipyard and ark on every island if you want to sail away again.

To Verenis Figueroa:

Yes, you will get the shower of Stardust and Moondust every time you complete the towers on other islands.

Hi,
How do you grow trees?
Thanks

Another crate that I found

Not mentioned in your spoiler of crate/barrel contents above, I have also run into extra wood, extra rocks, and rotton food that leaves the person weaker.

One of my villagers is not being effected by my potions.Is this normal for one villager to be irrelevent to my potions.

Also,are you allowed to return the Island you started with initially?If so,will all of your work be intact?

Glitch - For building an ark without building a shipyard!

Just a few things I've noticed that might help!

To Madison:

What kind of message do you get when you try to use a potion on that person?

Yes, you can return to a previous island if you have the number of the island. All of your stuff will still be there if you're using the same profile as when you were there the first time.

is there a list on here for the different trophies?

[Edit: You can find a list of all the trophies on the trophy page of the game. That's why we didn't put it here. -Pam]

I am in need of lodestone is there any other way to get it, other then barels or crates?

Help!!! I am trying to solve the flowering tree. I placed the flowers correctly...Nothing happened. If the answer is to remove them then how do I!!! Spoilers just say place correctly. Nothing about removing them. My pattern stays but nothing happens.

To JIGuest:

Please check question #15 in the FAQ at the top of this page.

To CMill:

I've added a screenshot of the completed Flower Tree puzzle to the walkthrough at the top of this page. If you've placed the right color of flowers and they've all be planted, the object should be solved. You'll see a new color of flower available for planting on the build screen.

Hey all.. I'm new to JayisGames but have been playing My Tribe for a few weeks now. I gotta say its soooooooo much more fun than VV.. and I loved that game.
I've gone through the FAQs and noticed there's no mention of what happens when one of the crates unleash the shimmering coloured mist..
What does it do to the tribe member? Anyone know?

To Lyricgal63:

The various colored mists bring a person to max on different skills. It's not in the FAQ, but I believe there have been several mentions of the mists by commenters. Different colors cause different max skills.

My tribe had 76 people at one time. I let some of the old people die and made sure I had 13 woman that could have babies and 13 available huts. Than I made sure they were all on the far side of the island where the huts were far and gave all the women the twins potion . And there u go you can have way more people than 50

I know this has been posted before, but the solution did not work for me. My tribe seems frozen. They are all standing around. it says they are doing various things, but no one is moving - Even the babies are standing still! Any ideas?

Okay, they all seem to have unfrozen. But, I'm still not sure why. Is this a bug in the game?

To Roro387:

There is a potion that will make them all freeze in place and sleep on their feet. Nothing will wake them up except time. That's the only thing I can think of that might have happened to your tribe.

How do I get the rainwater? I need this to get the bush to produce berries?

how long do you wait until you give someone potion again? the speed of my game is fast

to pam:

returning to the same island as you been before does not keep your old buildings. at least when i went from one island (#56) to the same island (#56) i had to rebuild everyting.

[Edit: Well, that's odd. When I returned to the same island, everything was still there. I'll have to try it again and see what happens. -Pam]

To Nomer:

Look in the list of potions at the top of this page for the rain potion.

I discovered a cheat accidentally and thought I may share it.

If you want to build up your supply of Moondust or Star dust quickly.

[Edit: This has already been mentioned here in the comments. -Jay]

found a new potion for the potion list

done some more experimenting - this is the rest of the potion list listed as:
Element|Water|Catalyst|Target|Effect|Type

I have done everything on my island pretty much, so what happens if I move to a new one? Will I just be starting over again pretty much? If so, what's the point. I like trying to perfect my tribe.

To Judy:

Yes, you'll pretty much start over on a new island with all the buildings and such, but you'll still have all of your technology and science points. The benefit of going to new islands is primarily to have untapped resources and to win other trophies. And just explore. :)

Could someone help me please? I put flowers around the tree, but I get the shakes and I don't know how to remove them. And I want to thank you for this page. I'd be lost.

To Lindas06551:

There is an "erase" button on the same screen you use for planting flowers. Click the erase button and then click the flower you want to erase. Don't click the "erase all" button because that will erase all the flowers on the island.

Oops, sorry. I figured it out on my own. Sorry for the trouble, but I still love this page.

This may sound stupid but...
Everytime I try to start a new profile (tribe) for my brother I seem to erase one of the other two. How many tribes can you have? I have 2 going - but my brother wants one now and we can seem to get him one. Help!!!

What is required to have an observatory?

To Emnee:

There is a known bug regarding profiles. Here is the reply from the developers about it: "If you delete a profile, then add another, the new profile added can overwrite any other existing profile. To prevent, don't delete any profiles, just add new ones."

To Losser:

You need to have level 3 Construction technology to build the Observatory. It will show up on the build screen and you can place the foundation just like the other buildings.

How do you keep a person alive for the full 969 years when you move islands. Above it says that all living tribe members move with you, but when I moved it only took about 15 of them and left the person I had at 150. The next time I put my oldest member 86 in the boat and it still took only a handful of the younger members.

I have solved the fountain mystery. Is this water still available in my potions ingredients if I sail to an island that doesn't have the fountain, I know this is true with other ingredients such as berries.

To Jan:

Everyone who is alive at the time you sail is supposed to make it to the new island. The tombstones of the ones who have died stay on the old island. I've sailed to several new islands and my whole tribe has always appeared on the new island. That's a strange thing. Maybe the ones you're looking for actually died before sailing.

To Jenny:

Yes, the fountain water stays with you for the rest of the game after you solve that mysterious object, even when you change islands.

Someone mentioned earlier that there is no way to change someone's hair back from grey after they've been scared. Has anyone found anything that works? I have three people who've been "scared grey" and I'd like to change their color back if possible.

Thanks!

I wonder if anyone can help me, I have read the whole of this forum and no-one seems to have had the same problem as me.

I maxed out my population on my first island and when i tried to make my tribe mate it said i already had the max amount. I have moved island twice and some of my tribe have died so i now want to have more babies but if i drag two people together it comes up with the "do you want them to mate?" message but if you click yes they just carry on doing whatever they want and don't mate.

I have got plenty of free huts so thats not the problem, and they are old enough (not too old) to have children. I can't work out what else I can do to make this happen and i am worried that my tribe are going to all die if i dont find out soon!
Thanks

To Stephanie:

I know for sure that giving the scared gray person the youth potion when they get old doesn't change their hair back. It stays gray. You can try one of the hair color potions to see if it will work. And try a moondust. If it stays gray after all that, then it's going to stay gray forever.

To Carol Barlow:

Try restarting your game. Make double sure that they are the right age and everything. Double check your population. If you drop them onto each other and get the baby message, click yes. Then be sure not to touch either of them. If you click on either of the parents-to-be, it can interrupt what they are doing and they'll go back to working. If none of this works, you may want to go back to the site where you originally purchased the game and download it again.

Need help! I have put my scientist by the stone rock with the moon shape on it and it says that it is vibrating and waiting for something. What is the something??? Also I have planted all the flowers on the pattern and they all came up except one yellow one,and I put it there but no one will hoe it and after three tries it dissapears. Can anyone tell me what to do. Any help would be great!

I have told a lot of my friends about this game and they all love it by now.
There for i am busy to translate it to Dutch (not all my friends understand English very well), if there is somebody that also would like to have it in Dutch .... please let me know
Just to be clear, the translation is loss from the game

The best wishes for 2009 for all of you

hi does anyone know what the 3rd art and the 3rd building does?

to carol barlow:

Don't worry. My little sis has the same problem and it makes me so mad!! But all you have to do is put one of them right next to the hut and then drop the other one on.
Annoying, but it works!!

Is there any potion or something that can make a person old because it's taking a while and I don't want to just wait for them to get old. Thanks!

To Maggie:

Level 3 in art will give you another top and bottom in the clothing hut. You'll have three choices of each instead of just two.

To Debbie:

You probably need to look in the walkthrough for help with the moon stone. As for the last flower, it shouldn't disappear. Keep trying to plant it.

To Safisana101:

I'm not aware of a potion to make them old. They will age faster if you put the game on fast speed, but you'll have to keep a closer eye on it to make sure they don't starve.

Your FAQ has 2 of the same questions (number 7 and 15).

[Thank you, Jim. There were so many people asking about lodestone that I thought surely it wasn't in the FAQ(!) I've fixed it now. -Pam]

I don't know whether anyone else has had the same issue as me, because I just sat down and read all six pages and didn't see it mentioned once.

This happens constantly for me. I can erase one or two flowers, but the instant that I try to get rid of the third or fourth, my game crashes.

And it's not like an alert that it crashes, either. It goes back to the main screen, has that "sailing to your tribe" graphic, and iot stays there. I've tried to wait it out, but after about 15 minutes of that I got bored. When I right click on the My Tribe button thing on my task bar and click close, then the screen pops to the "pick your island" thing.

It's not really something to get in a tiff about, but it's frustrating for me because I like adding little mosaics occasionally, and I can't fix them at all without crashing my game. ;(

I am trying to increase my stardust. I created a new celestial tower, used moondust to make the construction 1%, then demolished it (again with a moondust). But nothing happened, no shower of stardust. Is this because I'm already building another celestial tower on the island?

Also, I read several times on here that items aren't used up when you make potions. I know lodestone is hard to come by so I watch my level closely. When I use it in a potion, it uses one up.
Thanks for any help...

I don't know if anyone else posted this but I have another crate

To Ericka:

Thanks for mentioning this about the game crashing when erasing the 3rd or 4th flower. It happens to me, too, and I thought it was just a glitch in my copy of the game. I'll see if I can find out anything more about it.

To Casa:

There is no guarantee that you'll get a shower of stardust when you demolish a tower. That's not the way the game is designed to work. It's more of a glitch than anything. If you continue on with building the tower, I'm sure you'll get the shower of stardust.

As for the ingredients used in potions, it's only the liquid and catalyst that doesn't get used up (unless the potion blows up). The element part of the potion (mushrooms, vegetables, wood, rock, lodestone, etc.) does get used up with each potion you make.

Okay. Not to sound like I'm happy that there's a bug in the game, but I'm glad that it's not just my version of the game. I got it from RealArcade in case that helps anything at all as well.

Approximately when will my first tribe person die? Because I was wondering if I had 50 tribesmen, with all the females being unwilling to give birth, does that mean game over? Because I wouldnt be able to expand my population even after they die?

I can't create a new profile, what should i do??

does moondust and stardust only fall on grass??

I am looking for some comments or help on the final tropy of getting a tribe member to 949 years old. I do the youth potion every time the person hits age 65 and they go back to age 36. My oldest person is about 300 years old but feels 36. Is there another potion that ages the person to expedite this challenge? It takes about 18 hours to go from age 36 to 65 so i keep checking back.

Also, If I uninstall the game while I am out of town when I get back and reinstall does anyone know if I keep all my progress and tribe at its current ages and state? Hate to have all my people die on me and have to start over....

Thanks!

To Angel:

Tribespeople usually die in their late 60s or early 70s if it's natural causes. As soon as someone dies, you'll be able to have more children.

To Gnoh:

I need a little more detail. What happens when you try to create a new profile?

To Taraj:

The only way I know to speed up the aging process would be to put your game on fast speed.

As for uninstalling the game, I think you would lose your tribe and progress. You could just put the game on pause while you area away to keep them all from dying.

To Molly:

Yes, I believe stardust and moondust only fall on grass.

Pam, please help! My son and I have only been playing this game for about a week, we have a happy little tribe of 21 people. Your hints are a life-saver! We have an odd problem (maybe). We started to build the dock (1%), when my son decided he didn't like the placement. Hit demolish, then hit build again, but then the dock was no longer an option to build, yet the ark was!! Not knowing what else to do, we are building the ark on the beach. My son is very upset thinking we ruined the game, and our lille tribe will not be able to sail to a new island. What do you think?!

To Mary:

Your game will be fine. The ark is actually the thing you need to sail to another island. The game thinks that you built the shipyard, so you got the next step, which is the ark. Just keep building the ark and when it's done, your tribe will be able to sail to a new island.

Let me know if you have any problems. :)

This is a fast and easy way to get lots of moon or star dust

Thanks Pam! Seems to be fine...the ark is at 82% and progressing fine, but moon and star dust don't seem to have an effect? Also, do you know the formula for changing a hair style? We love this game, and this post!! Thank you!

If I tried building the celestial tower a little and demolishing it and didn't get the shower that everyone is talking about, does this mean that my version doesn't have this glitch or does it sometimes happen and sometimes not?

To Mary:

Stardust and Moondust does have an effect on the ark, it's just that the ark is such a large building project that sometimes it doesn't show up in the complete percentage. Actually, the best way to get large buildings done is to close the game for awhile. When you open it back up, it's done or almost done.

To Jenny:

The thing with the dust showers upon demolishing the tower foundations is just a fluke. Who knows why it happens or why it doesn't.

Is there anyway to go back in time? I left mine running and my tribe was so food obsessed that even the people I had marked to harvest trees for some reason either worked on construction or went fishing all the time. So, obviously, all my people died. I even had trees marked for harvest. So annoying cause I had been working really hard on this tribe and was on their 2nd island. I figure it must have been a weird bug or something. But back to the question, is there anyway i can get my tribe back?

Is there a way to make new rock? I've only got a few rocks left and i think i need more?

To Cass:

Unfortunately, you cannot retrieve a tribe once they have all died.

To Lucy:

Please check the potions list at the top of this page. You'll find a potion to make rocks.

Thanks for the help with the moon rock.But still having same problem with the flower pattern. I have even erased the flowers,replanted, and tried to get everyone to hoe the flower but it still dissapears or either it puts me back to the beginning screen sailing back to my tribe.Can anyone help? PLEASE

I purchased My Tribe from "Big Fish Games" and I am really enjoying it, but I have a glitch and I'm not sure how to fix it... When I go to "build" something, it pops up for anywhere from half a second to maybe 3 seconds, and then it disappears... I am continually having to go in to the Build menu and just randomly click... Now I'm trying to build my ark and cannot because it keeps disappearing before I can get a good location... Anyone else have this problem and/or a suggestion for how to fix it? Please help! Thanks!

I figured out a really cool cheat! (It doesn't wreck the game.) Click BUILD, then TREE. Hold down the left-click button the WHOLE TIME. Then move the cursor around the places where you wanna build trees and it automatically plants them without having go through the regular process.

how much space does each additonal food, wood, and rock storehouse hold? :)

To Debbie:

At this point, it's probably best to try the flower puzzle again on a different island. You'll be able to start it fresh and hopefully it will work better for you.

To Becky Welch:

I haven't heard of that bug. Have you tried closing and restarting the game? You may need to download it again from Big Fish Games.

To Jodi:

Each storage building will hold 600 units.

To Ericka:

Regarding the issue of the game crashing when you erase more than a couple of flowers, I got this information from the developers -

I've tried using the rock potion to create rocks, but all it says to me is that the potion had no effect. I've tried it on grass, sand, different places... I can't seem to get it to work. Is there something that I'm missing?

How long does it take before you can give someone another potion?
