Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children Cheats

This is something every walkthrough and hint I've seen forgets: what about the dead bodies
The Cemetery is the open field north east of the research table. Take all adults there and allow them to reflect when there is time and they will remember and bury any bones from deceased villages [those that die of old age,etc.] automatically. You won't need to complete a puzzle or any such; they just need to know it's there.

There will be times the games tends to lag, this will cause the children in the village to simply stand and do nothing. This can be a blessing in disguise; those little feet can be fast and when you need a mushroom picked or item collected catching them can be a chore. When the lag occurs place each child in a different zone. Though they will stand and do nothing once a mushroom or items pops you have them close at hand to pick it. Also they will do this before returning to stand still, just move them back to the spot you want them in. This glitch is random throughout the game but when it happens make it useful.

Puzzle 2 is the construction of a dam that will divert water from the stream to an area that can be used for farming. After you purchase Level 2 of Engineering Tech, drag a villager to the rocks that are in the middle of the lower portion of the stream. You will see a message, "He/she could probably build a dam here."

Puzzle 7 is the elimination of the algae in the ocean that was caused by over fishing. After purchasing Level 3 of Farming Tech, take a master farmer or master scientist to the pond, where they will collect algae-eating fish that they can use to repopulate the ocean. Once sufficient fish have been placed in the ocean, the algae will once again be under control and the villagers will have unrestricted fishing.
