My friend is having me post this around on the forums, What we’re really looking for are cheats & tricks to provide food so the Tribes don’t starve.

I want to sit & relax & play & breed my tribe. Instead, I’m always out of food. I set every adult to plunder the waters until the algae comes, then I pluck the coconut trees bare, then I send every available villager out to gather crops. Unfortunately, I found that the crops regenerate in an ever increasingly long time, so that what started out to be 24 min eventually became more than 500. I did find that the game speed was set too fast, so I know that can be partly remedied by adjusting the speed. Still, I don’t understand why I’m always looking for food. I had over 1000 food and only 7 people in the tribe and after advancing the game four hours, I had no food left, no way to get any, and they all perished. I desperately want a way (cheat, mod, etc.) to fix this problem so I can enjoy my tribe and not have to rush to the end. Does anything like this exist? It’s no fun when you can’t even keep your tribe fed. I don’t see how some people can keep 90 people when I can’t even keep 7 alive.

Thanks!

Something is getting to the crops before your villagers do. This is one of the puzzles to solve.

When you want a game cheat you should type in the game name and “cheat codes” into a search engine. Go to one of the linked gamer sites and read the cheat codes. Search for “walk through” if your stuck in an adventure.
