Hi Sherry! Regarding the Clay Hut,

Also, the Big Fish version (and other paid versions of the game) don't have the option of in-app purchases, but the Lavastone Generator was provided free to these versions to balance the currency. You can also earn Lavastones through random events in the game and exploring volcanic cracks!

Yes, that helps, thank you very much

I've been plodding along, finished the clay hut, finished the water wheel, finished the plans for the yellow statue but it still needs something else and I'm assuming that I can't work on the other two until this one is finished. I made a piece of yellow glass. But haven't made any butterflies yet. Does it need a butterfly?

Still me, I'm working on making all the butterflies and the colored glass, have the yellow one, but still need the blue and red.

OK, I'm playing this game on both the Facebook Gameroom and the Big Fish version.
On the FB version, I've created all the butterflies and colored glass, I was able to place the red and blue glass in their statues but still unable to complete the yellow statue. Also in this version you get a green statue sitting next to blocked cave, do I need glass for it too?

On the BF version, I've created all the butterflies and colored glass but I was only able to place the red glass in it's statue, but unable to place the blue or yellow glass.
This version does not have the green goddess statue next to the blocked cave.

Any suggestions, tips, hints? I've read that many of you got to the 2nd chapter, how, may I ask?

Did you ever get to chapter 2? I seem to be finishing random puzzles in no apparent order unlike chapter 1. Now I am lost as to what to do next. Stuck on puzzle 16 and have not found anything online except annoying videos that dont help and nothing in these forums.

Yes I did and like you, I'm just sort of wandering around, do you know what goes into the fish pie, besides fish and dough, rubarb doesn't sound right but it's the only thing my crafting hut is offering and since you lose items if they don't make anything I'm hesitant to try.

Fish Pie:

Thanks! Sometimes we just make things harder than we have to

I cannot find the nest to drop a villager on.
