Thank you Todd very much. I got the sunken treasure but had no idea about the first one though. Looks like I am going to have to redo it all over again and play the game a third time lol, oh well. Thanks again! I wouldn’t have figured that one out in a million years.
For some reason my game wont load now. IT will load my brothers game and the sandbox but not the one i have been working on i made it to the haunted town. Any ideas.
You don’t need to build a bridge to get the last lumberjack. Just go over there by walking through the river
how do you find the white rabbit
when you are rescuing the lumber jack look all over i’m pretty sure there are more than 5 because i got thru and did’t rescue all of them
Where is the silver mone???
Build winery – says build 3 farms??? How do I get them to a winery??
tina- build 3 carrot farms then white rabbit will show up at one of them
dd- im guessing you ment silver mine? for the ring? if you mined all your silver already, look around somemore should show up. it did for me right outside the train tunnel. you get the winery when you beat the supply smuggler challenge. early at the second camp. he is the one that wanted you to build a saloon for the barrels then he keeps coming back for supplies.. gold , wood, food. he comes back about 6-8 times. after you give him everything he wants he will give you the winery
Grapes??
I have the winery option to build but it says to build a winery you must first build a farm with grapes.
How do I get grapes?
Got the grapes — make 5 flower pots purple flowers – just keep watering.
This is great — found the answers to the last things i needed — now I can finish this blasted game and actually get some work done!!!!
The quest is that I have to place five barrels in different sections, and blow them all up. I can never complete this task because I’m always running out of wood or gold to build up the town, at the same time, and the bandits keep attacking.
Pumpkin heads.
Can any one tell me how to attack the bandits in the cemetary at the entrance to the town. I just can’t get my hero or the gun slingers into it. I have destroyed them in the other 2.
The six diffrent secret trophies, which are they, trying to get them all:)
If somebody knows let me now, thanks :)
Does anybody know how to plant more trees??
Sarah,
You have to buy the seeds at the general store. They cost 80. Then pick a citizen’s icon and you will notice a little plant under the dynamite box. Take the citizen to where you want the trees, highlight them and click on the plant icon. You can plant several lots at a time, but cannot start to chop them down until they are fully grown.
Hope this helps.
like the other guy said……..DOES ANYONE KNOW A WORKING TRAINER?
For the earthquake quest it works best if u upgrade your lumber mill to reinforce the buildings just a hint
What are the hidden trophies? Its driving me crazy!
I solved my problem with the 3rd cemetery. You have to [buy 2 lots of dynamite, and then blow the two rock piles, one at the entrance to the canyon and then the one in the canyon].
i dont know which are the hidden trophies anymore since i have all of them except the sandbox ones. but the 6 trophies on the last page are:
butter churn
treasure hunter
wine meister
grape farmer
master merchant
ostrich handler
I need help with the chili cook off. I have the deer and the red snapper how do i get the corn and the carrots?
Dawn u dont need a bridge to save him u can climb up like how u got down and how do u find the lumber jacks in the quest.
Anyone figured out the side game of the earthquake and fires mission? I simply cannot get my population up and keep up with the damage done by the earthquakes and fires.
i need help regarding the well, i got the key, i built an artesian’s well but i still couldn’t get in
todd–i’m done!! I have 100% of the game! Got my two sandbox trophies and everything! Woo hoo! :) Oh! And if you beat the sandbox challenges, when you start a new game, you are rewarded a wolf as a guard dog and Jebadiah Grimm (the bandit boss) as a gunman as soon as you start. Suh-weet! :) If you finish the game first and then go to sandbox mode, you are awarded that McAllister guy as a gunman who can’t get killed off (especially nice in the bandit mode)
As for beating the bandit mode. Chose the third option for the landscape and then build everything on that little section you start on…all you need is lumber, store, trading post, lumber mill, blacksmith, town hall, and bank…build panning mines until gone but don’t bother with one in the side of the hill across the river…just keep selling your wood for gold and buy seedlings at your store. Only unlock the seedlings and first aid kits. Amass a small army by tearing down and rebuilding the sheriffs office and saloon and hiring each time. Put 6 to 8 people in front of the bank and 6 to 8 more in front of the town hall. Make sure your farms provide just enough for your people to eat and have two lumber yards employed to the max…you’ll want to trade it for gold to buy up the first aid kits as often as you can to recharge your gunmen. It’s easy but takes forever :) Once you finish level 6 on both sandbox modes, you’ll get your trophy :) They only attack the bank and town hall so keep all your gunman at those two places!!
As for the disaster one…just keep your town small and simple!! (to be able to keep up with constant repairs) and hire gunmen…one disaster later on is bandits attacking all your buildings.
Erik, immediately build several tents to increase your population. Build the lumber camp and a panning mine in the river. Have someone fishing until you can afford to build a farm.
I also noticed something. If you have 2 gold panning mines/lumber mills, hire one person for each. It is more productive that way if you can’t spare the people.
I built 2 farms, a ranch, general store, sheriff (plus deputies~they increase happiness. and allow population increase) A blacksmith, tannery? and I’m pretty sure a trading post. When you are close to 125 happiness then start building flower pots like crazy.
Also, a little bit of damage doesnt’ decrease happiness. You want to check the info tab before you waste resources on repairs.
Hope it helps!
Mechanic puzzle, Hello everyone, I am trying to save the town and get the mechanic but the guys keep coming and shooting everthing, what do I do first please help me I have tried and tried , but I get no where and they keep killing my th men that I have with me and me also.
I have 2 of each ranch including ostrich and a manned tannery and manned smokehouse and still no boots – AM I to go shoeless forever – please help
CHILI COOK OFF
If you look around your corn farm you will see a crate appear soon after cook off quest starts – same with the carrot farm – gathering them completes that requirement
how do we get the easter egg hunt? I’m on my second go through and I can’t remember!
How do you rescue connie eastwood? (lady stuck under a log)
HEADLESS/PUMPKIN QUEST
Don’t feed your people – and get at least one of them to be a drunk by not giving them a job (they won’t leave and he won’t alter them)
As your people leave new ones will come and put them to work for the limited time they will stay.
If you approach the bandits and then flee away a bit only 1 or 2 of the bandits will follow you and you won’t need to keep buying gunslingers.
Make church as fast as possible and build cemetery on top of where bandits are right after you kill them – it slows him down.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT – don’t feed anyone.
I have been working on one aspect of this game over and over again with no results
I saw that Agnes #211 & Alicia #215 were the only two who addressed the question of “Save the Farm” (first town) I have saved over 400 gold etc. Agnes said that the farm can’t be saved etc. IS THIS THE TRUTH??? Many of you have completed the game and have ALL the trophies – is this the truth and can I move on????
thank you for your time I appreciate it! sj
Can anyone help me with trading post challenge 1 i cant get 25 food it will only let me get 20 food not 25.
YOU CAN NOT SAVE THE FARM –
I have finished the game 2 times and the farm being saved is not one of the requirements of finishing every trophy.
YOU CAN NOT SAVE THE FARM
Let me explain in more detail.
There are 3 main locations:
The Baron’s farm in tutorial (which you will never see again).
Town 1 where you start off by helping crashed wagon.
Town 2 where you build a town so cool that the Baron family comes there to live with you and Red- I made them lettuce farmers to pay them back for all the problems they caused Red and I.
If you save the farm then Town 2 and a major part of the game is unnecessary.
The fact it is listed as a quest is confusing – but trust me – YOU never save the farm and the quest is a fake quest that remains in your quest list but is never completed.
i’m stuck on the cave maze
im stick on the cave maze part
anyone
Haunted Town – if anyone is stuck on this challenge I discovered (after much frustration) that if you build a church first the pumpkin guy does NOT possess anyone so you can take your sweet time with the challenge.
(Redd’s Family)
After I have lured away six bandits, how do I rescue Redd’s family tobring them back to town?
cate #328- did you try firing everyone off your cattle ranch and tannery and rehire them? ppl with the same trouble with the wine did that and got it then. but those are the 2 requirements for the boots
alicia#330- find the white rabbit and then have a chicken ranch, or it might be just having a carrot farm and a chicken ranch
christina#331- just chop the wood that is on top of her. if you couldnt figure this out , you are going to be back here alot!! lol
alex 334- build a grainery, it allows you to store more food
neenerwoman- wtg!!! you the man…..eerrr i mean woman. thank you for the clues on the sandboxes. i have beat the game for the 3rd time now and this time got everything 100% also. i did finish the disaster sandbox and have the bandit one to do yet to get the last trophy. I think i am going to take a page out of your book and stop answering these questions over and over again. lol just come on and say read previous posts!!
331 – take one of your workers from the lumber mill to connie eastwood. that person will chop the wood off.
todd–You’re tempting me!!
ok okay READ PREVIOUS POSTS!! YOU GUYS ARE ASKING SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER!!!!
ok i finally have everything. hats , general store items all quests finished( except the save the farm since you can not finish this one!!! ) and i have all the trophies. yeah me lol now its time to go back and finish ww2. i know i beat the first one but cant remember why i didnt finish second. any chance they will come out with ww4 later this week??? either that or vv4
can anyone tell me in the first town where the first key is the brainless man one i cant seem to find it
How do you beat the rusty bucket quest?Thanks Todd for the white rabbit thing.
ok i found it
How do you build trees? I have unlocked them but can’t figure out how to plant them.
On the Drill Recovery Quest, how do you get the gates to open so you can get to the drill? I’ve got the key so I could get the dynamite and the gold and food; I got all the way to the gates before the big open area that is right before the gate in front of the grill… but I can’t get into that big open area. I’m so confused!! Thanks!
